You’ve been waiting for mortgage rates to drop – and it’s happening.

Mortgage rates are in the lowest range they’ve been in nearly 3 years. And they’re expected to stay in this vicinity for the rest of 2026. That’s a big deal.
That means affordability is going to start to feel different.

The door just opened. Lower payments. Better affordability. More buying power.

If buying didn’t make sense for you before, it might now. Take this as your sign it's time to talk to a lender and take another look at your numbers.

Headlines about the double-digit jump in foreclosure filings sound scary – until you zoom out.

This visual says everything.

The left side shows foreclosure filings in the years around the housing crash. The right side shows the last few years.

And here’s what it tells me. Even with the uptick in 2025, we’re nowhere near crisis territory.

Strong lending standards + high equity are keeping homeowners on solid ground.

If you want the real story behind today’s data (not the scary headline version), DM me and I’ll send you the facts. No clickbait.

It can feel like big investors are buying up all the homes right now. But the data tells a different story.

Large institutional investors – the ones owning 100+ homes – made up just 1.2% of home purchases in late 2025.

That means 99 out of 100 homes were bought by everyday buyers and small, local investors. Not big corporations.

In a few areas, investor activity is more noticeable. But nationally, big investors are a much smaller part of the market than most people think.

If you’re wondering how this plays out right here in our local market, let’s talk. A little context can make a big difference when you’re deciding your next move.

A lot of people may think their credit score isn’t good enough to buy a home.

That may be because the median buyer’s score is pretty high (775) – so people assume they need near-perfect credit. But that’s not necessarily the case.

Data shows some buyers today are qualifying with scores in the mid-600s. And the median for the lowest 10% of buyer scores is 660.

So, you may have more options than you think.

If your credit is what’s been holding you back, take this as your sign to reach out to a lender to talk through your options.

Momentum is quietly building in the housing market.

Your house didn’t sell, and your listing expired. Now what?

You could stick with the same agent and hope for better luck. Or, you could make what data shows is the smarter move.

Over half of homeowners who switched agents after their listing expired sold their home when they put it back on the market. That stat drops to just 36% if you re-list with the same agent.

You deserve better odds than that.

You don’t need to start over or give up – you just need a better plan. And an agent who knows how to execute it.

Same house. Different strategy. Better results.

Let’s talk about what you liked about your first experience and what didn’t go so well. With a few strategic tweaks (and a fresh perspective), we can turn things around and get your move back on track.

DM me and I’ll tell you the 4 things I’ll do differently for your home.
