Did you know nearly 1 in 3 home purchases today involves co-buyers?

That's right, more and more first-time buyers are teaming up with friends, siblings, or unmarried partners to make homeownership happen.

And honestly? It makes a lot of sense given how tough affordability can still be for first-time buyers.

Combining incomes means a bigger down payment, better loan qualification, and lower monthly costs for everyone involved.

If you've been feeling priced out, co-buying might be the move you haven't considered yet. Drop your questions in the comments. I'd love to help you explore your options.

Today's housing market rewards the right strategy. Because even in a slower area, the homes that are priced realistically and positioned well are still selling – sometimes faster than you may expect.

Let’s connect if you’re ready to make yours one of them.

When you put your house on the market, you don’t just want it to sell. You want it to sell fast.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here.

Some people stay and make updates. Others move to simplify things. Either can be the right choice. The goal isn’t to pick one today. It’s to understand your options early, so when the time comes, you feel confident instead of rushed.

And if you ever want a sounding board to think through what the future could look like for you, let’s connect.

At some point, as you start thinking about the years ahead, this question tends to come up...

Spring always gives sellers an edge.

But data shows there’s a short window when that advantage really peaks – and it’s usually the last two weeks of May.

While it can vary by market, that's when buyer demand is at its strongest and competition pushes prices higher.

In some cases, that timing alone can mean a seller makes tens of thousands of dollars more.

If you’re aiming to sell for top dollar, this is the moment to watch.

The sellers who succeed in this market aren’t doing anything extreme. They’re pricing their house right, making strategic repairs, getting local guidance, and making decisions based on how buyers actually behave today. Those small but mighty mindset shifts could make or break your sale.

Want a real plan tailored to your home and your neighborhood? Let’s talk.

Let’s be clear: selling your house is absolutely possible right now. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), roughly 11k homes sell every day in this country.

While online tools can give you a rough starting point, only a local expert can give you a price that actually works.

If you want to know the right number for your house, not just the easiest one to find, let’s talk.

Don’t confuse a weather-impacted month with a market losing steam. If anything, improving affordability is an indicator of more activity to come, not less.

If you have questions about what you’re hearing online or in the news, let’s chat. Because the truth is, a little context can give you back your peace of mind.

If you saw headlines that talked about how “home sales fell sharply in January,” it probably raised an eyebrow – especially if you’re thinking about selling your house. But context matters.
