How to Ensure Your Housing Deal Closes Successfully
It’s always tough for buyers and sellers when a home sale doesn’t make it to the finish line. In August 2026, 34% of pending home sales didn’t close—the highest rate since March 2024. The most common reasons? Inspection surprises, mortgage hang-ups, trouble selling a current home, title complications, and job changes. After 22 years guiding clients through Richmond’s market, I know just how many moving parts need to come together for a successful closing. Building trusted relationships and empowering you with the right information can make all the difference in anticipating and overcoming these challenges.

Fastest-growing housing markets in the U.S. for 2026
Looking ahead to 2026, it’s interesting to see the Northeast and Midwest emerging as the fastest-growing housing markets. Much of this growth is fueled by affordability, limited inventory, and a steady migration of buyers relocating from higher-cost coastal cities. What stands out about these markets? Many feature lower home prices, classic older properties, and robust local economies—often centered around education, healthcare, and manufacturing. As someone who believes in guiding clients toward smart moves, I find these shifts a reminder of how value and opportunity can appear in unexpected places. With over two decades navigating market cycles in Richmond, VA, I know how important it is to keep an eye on trends like these when considering your next step.
