Have you heard the news? Mortgage rates have been coming down for seven straight weeks now. And if you compare where they are now to where they were in mid-January, that makes a big difference to your monthly payment. It adds up to a savings of about $100 per month.
But rates are hard to predict, and they will change course as the economy shifts. The best advice anyone can give is this: if you’re ready to buy, there’s a window of opportunity right now.
What rate would make you feel comfortable moving? Drop it in the comments below.

Are you worried about inflation and what it means for your plans to buy a home? Here are two reasons homeownership is actually a great hedge against inflation:

1) While your other costs rise, if you buy a home with a fixed-rate mortgage, your biggest expense stays stable.

2) Since home prices usually rise faster than inflation, you’ll own an asset that should grow in value. That makes buying a good investment.

How would owning a home change the way you think about building long-term wealth?

New on the Provo River listing!

High ceilings with open beams and an air sunlight atmosphere describe this custom stucco home. The stone fireplace adds a charm of a crackling fire, while granite countertops and travertine tile make the kitchen a place to linger. New carpet and paint refresh the walls and floors while a new furnace and AC unit keep the temperature just right all year. A River Runs through the backyard of this .43-acre lot and that offers trout fishing, kayaking, tubing, and even snorkeling. Mature trees, lilac trees, multiple grapevines, and wildflowers enhance the yard. Stone walkways lead you to the stone gazebo and Patio that overlook the river and offer a quiet getaway. The domed top of the Gazebo lets in sunlight and is great for stargazing. It can be used as an office, studio or even to house a hot tub where you can watch the snowfall. Across the river is a beautiful Parkway that runs west to Utah Lake and then north east to Provo Canyon and on to Bridal Veil Falls. It is perfect for walking, jogging, and biking. It showcases all the seasons in their brilliant colors with glimpses of Timpanogos Mountain visible from the parkway on your own backyard. Also, the city plans to expand the Parkway and add a golf course. Live near the city and public schools and enjoy all the beauty of the outdoors with this unique property.

Spending the time and effort to make your listing look good is worth it.

Staged homes sell 73% faster and typically get offers that are higher. But that doesn’t mean you’ve got to go all out and bring in a crew of professional stagers to make it happen.

Instead, DM me first. I can walk through your house with you and suggest some simple tweaks that’ll really appeal to today’s buyers and help you bring in top dollar.

Here’s an early 2025 housing market forecast.

Experts project mortgage rates will come down slightly, which should lead more buyers and sellers to move. And that’ll create a moderate increase in sales as activity ticks up. It’ll also likely push prices up a little bit nationwide, though price changes will vary by location.

DM me if you want to start planning for your move.

Want to know the top mistakes sellers are making today? It’s overpricing their house.

A price that’s too high is going to cost you. It turns buyers away and may mean you need a price drop to re-ignite interest in the home.

To make sure you don’t end up making this mistake, DM me, and let’s price it right from the start.

The Fed's pivot from 'maybe more hikes' to 'cuts next year' had the markets in ecstasy. The Dow and S&P 500 hit all-time records. The yield on the 10-yr US treasury went below 4%. And average 30-year mortgage rates fell to 6.6%. That's a decrease of nearly 150 bps (1.5%) in just two months.
