Foreclosures are rising slightly, but they’re nowhere near the levels of 2008. And delinquency trends don’t point to a crash ahead.

This is something industry professionals are going to watch in the days ahead. If you want to stay up to date, let’s connect so you always have the latest information.

You may be seeing headlines about how foreclosures are rising. And if that makes you nervous we’re headed for another crash, here’s what you should know.

If you’ve owned your home for a while, you probably have some serious equity.

Right now, over two-thirds of homeowners have either paid off their mortgage entirely or have at least 50% equity.

That’s a powerful position to be in. Because that much equity gives you a strong financial cushion and an asset you can use to fund your long-term goals.

If you're thinking about moving, downsizing, or just curious what your home’s really worth, DM me and I’ll give you a personalized estimate, because your equity might be able to get you there sooner rather than later.

Before you decide to rent your house, make sure to carefully weigh the pros and cons of becoming a landlord. For some homeowners, the hassle (and the expense) may not be worth it.

If your house is on the market but you haven’t gotten any offers you’re comfortable with, you may be wondering: what do I do if it doesn’t sell? 

09/01/2025

If your house isn’t getting offers you’re comfortable with, you may be thinking: maybe I’ll just rent it instead.

And the truth is, a growing number of homeowners are making that choice right now. They’re called “accidental landlords.”

But here’s the thing you need to remember before you go that route, too. There’s probably a reason renting your home wasn’t the original plan.

Because renting often isn’t as easy as it sounds. Not every house makes a good rental. Plus, it comes with a lot more responsibility (and risk) than most people expect, like extra expenses, repairs, and the stress of being on call 24/7.

Make sure to carefully weigh the pros and cons before you decide what to do. For some homeowners, it may not be worth it.

Want to know the real reason you don’t need to be worried we’re building too many homes right now? This is it.

No matter what you’re seeing online about the number of new homes for sale, nationally we just don’t have the same surplus of inventory we had back in the crash of 2008. And this graph proves it.

If you combine how many homes we’ve built lately with all the existing homes for sale (those that have already been lived in by a previous owner), we’re still nowhere near crash territory.

Of course, inventory is going to vary by area. But nationally, we don’t have enough new homes to crash the market.

So, don’t believe everything you read or hear. If you need help cutting through the noise, let’s talk.

Just because there are more new homes for sale right now, it doesn’t mean we’re headed for a crash. The data shows today’s overall inventory situation is different.

If you have questions or want to talk about what builders are doing in our area, let’s connect.

You may have seen talk online that new home inventory is at its highest level since the crash.

If you tried to sell your house this year, but couldn't get the price you were hoping for, you’re probably feeling frustrated. Maybe you even feel like today’s market let you down. But here’s what you need to know.

History shows the housing market always bounces back. In the ’80s, during the 2008 crisis, and even in 2020, sales dropped, then recovered.

And forecasts show the next rebound should begin in 2026, as mortgage rates ease a bit.

The takeaway: today’s slowdown is temporary.

My job is to watch the market for you and help you be ready for the rebound.

So, let me know: as activity picks up again, will you be ready to put your house back on the market, or do you need to move sooner?

If today’s housing market feels stuck, remember it’s never stayed down for good. Slowdowns end, activity returns, and people get moving again. So, let’s connect, because when the next wave of buyers shows up, you won’t want to miss it.

As activity picks up again, will you be ready to put your house back on the market, or do you need to move sooner?

Now that the market is slowing down, homeowners who haven’t sold at the price they were hoping for are increasingly pulling their homes off the market.

Wondering what’s really going on with home prices? The truth is: it depends on where you live.

In the 50 largest metros, nearly half are still seeing prices climb. The other half are seeing slight declines.

It’s a clear reminder that real estate is hyper-local. And understanding what’s happening in your specific market is key.

Let’s talk about what’s unfolding in our area, and how that impacts the strategy for your next move.

If concerns about bidding wars have been holding you back, it may be time to take another look. Nationally, competition is down. In some markets, it’s down significantly. And with more sellers offering concessions, buyers today have more power and flexibility than they’ve had in a long time.

If you’re still worried about having to deal with a bidding war when you buy a home, you may be able to let some of that fear go.
