Last week my sellers ignored the “rates are dropping, just wait” hype—and locked in $200k profit in just 7 days.
They refused to play the “time the market” game that crushes 99% of people.

If you’re buying or selling, the real opportunity is slipping away right now—and most will miss it.

You’re not going to believe where people are actually retiring in Washington…

It’s not Palm Springs. It’s not Arizona.
It’s places like Sequim, Bothell, and even Puyallup — and the numbers might surprise you.

Last year alone, over 1,200 homes sold in 55+ communities across WA — many under $150K.
And the ones that do cost more? They’re offering resort-style amenities, walking trails, and zero yard work.

So here’s the real question…
If you could spend your days surrounded by nature, neighbors, and no maintenance bills — where would you go?

👇 Drop your WA dream retirement town below — I’ll tell you what homes are actually selling for there.

Homes for sale: 16300 State Highway 305 NE #94, Poulsbo, WA 98370-7832 (MLS #: MANL1753298975001) with 3 beds, 2.0 baths, -1 sqft, and listed for $155000.

There’s a lot to digest when it comes to understanding how mortgage rates shift and change over time, and we aren’t going to get into all of that today. But if there’s one thing to watch on where they’re likely headed, it’s the 10-year treasury yield.

Basically, the 10-year treasury yield is a widely watched benchmark for long-term interest rates. And as the yield goes up or down, mortgage rates tend to follow.

The good news is – the gap between the two is starting to narrow. And with experts saying the 10-year yield should come down going into next year, that means there’s room for mortgage rates to come down too.

I know this is a lot to keep track of. And that’s exactly why you should have an expert on your side. I’ll do the heavy lifting for you and will keep you posted as new data comes out and as rates fall further.

DM me the ideal mortgage rate you’re looking for, and when we hit that...

What would make you feel more comfortable making a move?

63% of would-be homebuyers say lower home prices.
50% say lower mortgage rates.

If that’s what you want too, here’s the update you’ve been looking for.

Experts are projecting single-digit price increases in many markets this year. Some areas will even experience slight declines. That’s a far cry from the 20% rise we saw just a few years ago.

At the same time, mortgage rates have eased from their recent highs.

While it’s not enough to completely change the game on affordability, both trends should stick around going into 2026.
