People move for all kinds of reasons, from job opportunities and affordability to lifestyle preferences and a desire for a change of scenery. 🏡 It's always interesting to see which areas attract the most attention from buyers across the country and how migration trends shift from year to year. These trends can offer a fascinating glimpse into what homebuyers value most at a given moment. Real estate is about more than properties; it's about the people and stories behind every move.

Where would you move to given the opportunity?

The financial choices you make today can help shape your homebuying options tomorrow. 🏡 Small steps like strengthening your credit, paying down debt, and building savings can put you in a stronger position when the right home comes along.

For example, open a savings account to deposit a set amount every month to build upon your down payment goal. Have a conversation with a local lender to see which loan program will fit your budget and how much is needed for a down payment so you have a target amount in mind.

A little preparation now can create more confidence and more possibilities later. If buying a home is one of your goals, send me a message and let’s talk about your next steps!

Setting the right asking price is crucial. Remember, buyers will conduct their own comparative market analysis, so being discerning when setting the price is essential. Overpricing can deter potential buyers, while underpricing can spark competitive bidding. Let's work together to set a realistic price that maximizes your home's value.

Big Rally After More Forceful Peace Deal Announcement
By: Matthew Graham
June 11, 2026
“This morning's commentary noted Trump comments regarding planned air strikes for today. Bonds reacted, but maintained some skepticism. That proved to be a good instinct. At roughly 1:30pm, Trump said the air strikes were cancelled and that all parties had agreed on a deal, and that a time/place for signing would be announced shortly. There wasn't as much push back against those claims by foreign sources as we've often seen in response to similar claims of deals being reached. Stocks surged. Oil plummeted. 10yr yields dropped another 8bps for a total of more than 10 on the day. Almost every lender repriced by a healthy amount. Now we wait for whammies or no whammies.”

I went to a fun real estate event today, Summer Splash. I was able to do a video that went 360 degrees. Pretty cool to watch others doing it so I gave it a try.

Thank you to our South Bay Association of Realtors for hosting this event every year for us.

Mortgage Rates Jump After Strong Jobs Report
By: Matthew Graham
Fri, Jun 5, 2026
“Over the past three months, mortgage rate movement has been driven primarily by developments in the Iran war. It's not that war, itself, is a consideration, but rather the implications for fuel prices and inflation. Bonds care deeply about inflation and interest rates are based directly on bonds.
When inflation isn't raging (or at the risk of raging), rates/bonds spend most of their time thinking about the economy. Lately, the data has been even-keeled enough that it hasn't had enough of an impact to override the war's inflation-related volatility, but today was an exception.
The jobs report not only crushed expectations, but it revised the past 2 reports sharply higher as well. The net effect is that the labor market looks more like it's finding its footing (possibly even accelerating) and less like it is still in the downtrend that characterized the post-covid normalization.
If all that was confusing, here's the simple version. More people got jobs than expected and the market didn't like it because it removes any argument in favor of the Fed cutting rates. Fed rates don't equal mortgage rates, but Fed rate expectations for the future cause mortgage rate movement in the present (and Treasury movement, and stock market movement, etc.).”

Happy National Donut Day! 🍩 Sprinkling a little gratitude your way today because your referrals mean the world to me. Every time you recommend me to a friend, family member, or coworker, it helps my business continue to grow and gives me the opportunity to help more people achieve their real estate goals. I’m so thankful for your trust and support, and I donut take it for granted. If someone you know is thinking about buying or selling, I'd be honored if you'd send them my way!
