Knowing what’s ahead for the rest of the year is key to your success, whether you’re planning to buy, sell, or just stay informed. And that’s why you need an expert who will keep sharing these market updates with you.

So, what do the latest forecasts show? Mortgage rates will likely settle in the mid-6s for the rest of 2025. And that’s not terribly different from where we are now. So, don’t expect a big drop in rates.

But, keeping an eye on factors like inflation that can influence where mortgage rates move is key. And that’s why you have a pro on your side.

If your plans are changing, don’t wait on a rate that may not come. Let’s have a conversation, so you can see what’s possible in today’s market.

Frustrated because selling your house isn’t going as smoothly as you planned?

Here’s why it may be sitting on the market without any bites. It’s overpriced, it needs repairs, or you’ve limited your showing times. The good news is, these are all things that can be fixed.

If your house is sitting instead of selling, work with your trusted agent to reenergize your listing and get new buyers in the door.

There’s a misconception going around that big investors, like Wall Street, are buying up all the homes. But it’s just not true.

Data shows the share of homes bought by investors is actually declining. And most of those aren’t even big investors, they’re people like your neighbors who own second homes.

So don’t believe everything you hear about the housing market. DM me for help separating fact from fiction.

Today’s mortgage debt doesn’t mean a housing bubble is brewing.

Homeowners today have built up record equity, and it’s nearly triple the amount of mortgage debt. This extra cushion gives homeowners more security, making the market much more stable than it was in 2008.
