This has created a special niche for the Kathy Batterton team in assisting military personnel to achieve their dreams of homeownership, as well as selling their homes in a very military-friendly location. Kathy loves the water, whether boating, swimming, jet skiing, or just hanging out. Living on the water has enabled her to understand all the complications and benefits for anyone looking to “Own the Lifestyle”.

It is very important to Kathy that no matter who you talk to on the team, they will all take amazing care of you. Ashley is a native of Pensacola who has settled in Santa Rosa County after many military moves around the country. She is a former elementary school teacher and had three children come through the Santa Rosa County School District. Ashley understands the needs of our military, knows the area, and knows our schools. She takes great pride in her communication with clients, keeping them informed throughout the entire transaction. Experience matters in all aspects of the buying/selling process and Ashley have the experience to achieve the best possible outcomes. She carries the values of hard work, integrity, and outstanding client service into everything she does.

Price Cuts Get Bigger the Longer a House Sits Without Offers

Pricing your house high just to “see what happens” can cost you. Buyers today are quick to ignore overpriced homes. And the longer a house sits without any offers, the less it usually sells for. Want to know the right list price for your house to avoid this headache? Let’s chat.

Let's be real with each other for a second about affordability.

Nearly 40% of potential sellers say they're planning to offer concessions this year – up from 30% in 2025.

That increase means you could see more flexibility on things like sellers covering your closing costs, adjusting the price, or making repairs.

But what’s worth asking for and what’s a long shot will vary depending on where you’re looking. That’s where I can help.

DM me and let's talk about what concessions make sense in our market. Because, for buyers, the right ask could save you thousands.

Record High Mortgage Debt Sounds Scary. Here’s What the Headlines Leave Out.

Record mortgage debt makes for a scary headline. But context matters.

Equity is near an all-time high, home values have surged, and the vast majority of homeowners are in a position of real financial strength. The conditions that made 2008 a crisis simply don't exist right now.

If you're wondering what all of this means for your situation, whether you're thinking about buying, selling, or just trying to make sense of the market, reach out anytime. No pressure, just answers.

You may have seen the headlines lately about mortgage debt in America hitting a record high.

Now might be a smart time to look at newly built homes.

Builders are motivated to keep their inventory moving, so they’re offering incentives like mortgage rate buydowns and closing cost help to draw in buyers.

It also means they may be more flexible on price. In fact, the median price for newly built homes just hit a five-year low for this exact reason.

Builder perks and lower prices? That’s a combo worth paying attention to.

DM me to talk through what’s available in our area and which builders are offering the best incentives today.
