Still trying to find the perfect home? Here’s the good news.

Experts project the number of homes for sale will keep climbing, with inventory expected to rise another 9-10% percent this year.

That means more choices and more chances to find what you've been searching for.

Want to see what’s out there? Call or DM me and let’s have a conversation about what you’re looking for.

With how inventory’s growing, your home could already be waiting for you.

You may have heard home prices dipped in some areas last year, but that doesn’t mean your home lost real value. Here’s the context more headlines skip.

While select markets are seeing slight price declines, it’s not happening everywhere. It’s really only happening in markets where prices rose too high, too fast during the pandemic housing boom.

The majority of the country is still seeing prices rise year over year. Not fall.

That’s part of the reason why 96% of homes are still worth more than what their owners paid for them.

The bottom line is: home prices aren’t crashing. And you don’t need to worry about your home’s value.

With how much prices rose these past 5 years, your house is probably worth a lot more than you’d expect, even if you do live in one of the markets where prices are re-adjusting.

If you want an update on your home’s value, call or DM me. I’m happy to show you why there's no reason to worry.

There’s nothing quite like the comfort of your own home.

It’s where you hang your coat, kick off your shoes, and breathe a little deeper with the ones you love. Where the little things – like morning coffee in your kitchen or a quiet evening in a homemade fort – feel like everything.

And those are likely big reasons why a recent survey from Fannie Mae says:

“Consumers were twice as likely to mention lifestyle benefits (67%) – like security, customization, and outdoor space – than financial benefits (34%) when explaining why their homes have become more important in recent years.”

If you’ve been dreaming of that kind of cozy, 2026 could be the year to make it real. Give me a call to get started. 309-868-1117

Now may be a better time to sell than you'd expect.

Since mortgage rates have come down compared to their high last year, more buyers are re-starting their home search. And here’s the data to prove it.

This graph shows homebuyer activity was hovering at the highest level at the end of last year.

More people are applying for home loans. And it’s already turning into more homes going under contract.
That jump in activity opens up real opportunities for sellers right now.

There’s a renewed sense of energy in the market going into this year. And homeowners who decide to sell can ride that shift in momentum.

If you want to get in on the action and get your house in front of these eager buyers, call or DM me. 309-868-1117

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.
Call or DM me to talk about what’s expected in our area. 309-868-1117

Your house may be perfect, and yes, demand may still be high, but don't make the mistake of thinking your home will sell itself. There is a lot that goes into selling a home that your house cannot do. Obvious things like marketing, handling clients, and running an open house. And technical things like dealing with contracts and paperwork. For all of this, do yourself (and your house) a favor and work with an expert, work with me.
