Be honest. Would you scroll past a house that’s been listed and sitting for months?
A few years ago, that made sense. Today, not so much.

Homes are taking longer to sell across the board. On average, it takes 73 days right now – which is typical for this time of year.

So, a house that’s been sitting doesn’t automatically mean something’s wrong. It may have been priced a little high, launched into heavy competition, or just didn’t stand out online.

And here’s what many buyers miss: sellers who’ve been waiting are often more open to negotiating.

So, before you scroll past, take a second look. Sometimes the best opportunity is the one everyone else skipped.

You’ve been waiting for mortgage rates to drop – and it’s happening.

Mortgage rates are in the lowest range they’ve been in nearly 3 years. And they’re expected to stay in this vicinity for the rest of 2026. That’s a big deal.
That means affordability is going to start to feel different.

The door just opened. Lower payments. Better affordability. More buying power.

If buying didn’t make sense for you before, it might now. Take this as your sign it's time to talk to a lender and take another look at your numbers.

Mortgage rates are down a full percentage point since last year.

That recent drop doesn’t sound dramatic, until you realize how much it can already save you on the typical $400k loan.

Compared to buying in January of last year, that saves you more than $330 a month and almost $120k over the life of your loan.

That’s the difference just one year makes.

If buying didn’t work for you last year, let’s re-run the numbers and see if 2026 could finally be your year.

A lot of people may think their credit score isn’t good enough to buy a home.

That may be because the median buyer’s score is pretty high (775) – so people assume they need near-perfect credit. But that’s not necessarily the case.

Data shows some buyers today are qualifying with scores in the mid-600s. And the median for the lowest 10% of buyer scores is 660.

So, you may have more options than you think.

If your credit is what’s been holding you back, take this as your sign to reach out to a lender to talk through your options.

Just before the snow, late 2025.

You may not want to put your moving plans into hibernation mode this winter, because the savings this time of year are real.

LendingTree found January buyers paid about $23k less than May buyers for the same size home.

And that’s largely because the price per square foot drops off in the winter due to less buyer competition.

That’s only one of the perks of buying now versus waiting until the busier spring season.

Curious what acting now could save you in our market? Let’s talk.

Wondering what 2026 has in store for the housing market? Here’s a quick snapshot of what the experts are saying.
Mortgage rates are going to stay in the low 6s.
There will be more homes to choose from.
And price growth is going to slow down.
That combination will help affordability improve even more this year, but it’s going to look different market to market.

Doing a site tour of a proposed development has to be one of the most productive processes we can do as a planning board. Today I was able to see the property lines and the lay of the land, and ask the development team direct questions about drainage, trees and fire access and water sewer before they are in front of the board for final approval.
