Does the recent rise in foreclosure filings mean we’re headed for another crash? The short answer is no.

Right now, only 1% of all homes are seriously delinquent, meaning the owners are more than 90 days behind on their payments. That’s only 1 in 100.

During the last crash, it was 9%. That’s 1 in 11. And that’s a big difference.

Plus, not every delinquency even turns into a foreclosure. Many homeowners work out repayment plans. Others will use their equity to sell.

So, don’t let foreclosure headlines spark flashbacks to 2008. This isn’t a wave. It’s a ripple at most.

The Spring Guides for buying or selling a home are here. If you’re thinking of making a move this season, you need these guides. To get your free digital copy, let’s connect.

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines waiting for that magic number for rates, that strategy may not pay off as much as you’d expect.

Let's connect so you can double check the math at your price point. You may realize payments are already within your range.

Mortgage rates have already dropped into the upper 5s twice this year. But after just a few days, they ticked back up into the low 6% range.

03/09/2026

A lot of buyers think rates dropping from the low 6s into the upper 5s would dramatically change their monthly payment. But the math tells another story.

On a $500k loan, the difference between getting a 6.1% and 5.9% mortgage rate is only about $64 a month. Not $300. Not $500. Only $60.

That’s not the massive swing many buyers imagine when they say they’re “waiting for the 5s.”

If you’re holding out for a lower rate, my advice is to double check the math. Because rates have already come down significantly from just one year ago. And you may not need to wait any longer.

The numbers could already work better than you expect.

Homebuilders are in deal mode right now. Here’s why.

There are more new builds on the market than usual. Now, this doesn’t mean builders are overbuilding. But it does mean they're motivated to sell their current inventory before they build more – and that’s good for buyers like you.

It’s why the majority are offering incentives like rate buydowns, closing cost credits, and free upgrades. And roughly one-third are even cutting prices.

The opportunity to get a good deal is there. You just need a partner to help you make the most of it.

DM me if you want to know which builders are offering the best incentives in our area.

What’s the best time of year to sell? It’s a question I get all the time.

One season usually rises to the top for motivated sellers: Spring.

It’s the peak buying season in the housing market, so we tend to see more buyers, more offers, and more home sales.

And with mortgage rates at 3-year lows right now, buyers should be ready to act. Let’s get your house in front of them.

Despite what you may be seeing online, home prices are rising or holding steady in most parts of the country.

If you’re curious what your home is worth today, let’s take a look at the numbers together. Because context, and local expertise, matter more than what you’re seeing online.

You’ve probably seen posts on social media talking about how “home prices are falling.”

Spring doesn’t guarantee a sale. Strategy still matters. But this season gives you something valuable: momentum.

More buyers. More activity. More opportunity.

The real question is: if you’re going to sell this year, why not do it when the odds are in your favor?

Let’s talk about what selling this season could mean for your house and your timeline.

Homeowners looking to sell usually want three things: plenty of interested buyers, strong offers, and a short timeline. Spring is the season that most often delivers all three.
