✨ Good News Market Watch ✨

For the week of June 25th 2026- If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to make a move in real estate, here’s your market minute update—and it’s actually encouraging news for buyers and sellers right now.

📊 Mortgage rates continue to move in the mid-6% range, with recent reports showing rates easing slightly compared to earlier highs this year. While we’re not back to historic lows, we are seeing more stability—and stability matters in real estate.

What does that mean in real life?

🏡 Buyers:
You’re gaining more predictability in your monthly payment, and in some cases more negotiating room as sellers get creative again with concessions and rate buydowns.

🏡 Sellers:
Homes that are priced right and well-presented are still moving—especially when paired with strong marketing and realistic expectations.

💡 The big takeaway:
We are not in a runaway market—we’re in a strategic market. That means smart decisions, good guidance, and timing matter more than panic or waiting for “perfect” conditions.

As always, I’m keeping a close eye on the numbers so you don’t have to.

✨ This is your Good News Market Watch for this week—dates and updates are reflected in the video linked above.

If you want to know what this means for your specific situation in Middle Tennessee, I’m always happy to run the numbers with you.

Some days in real estate look like office work… and some days look like cruising Tennessee backroads from Pulaski to Waverly! 🚗🏡

One of my favorite parts of being a REALTOR® is getting to explore the communities, small towns, hidden gems, and friendly faces that make Tennessee such a special place to call home.

And of course, no road trip is complete without a stop at Dolly’s Truck Stop for a little fuel (for both the car and me! ☕😉).

Whether you’re looking for a home in town, out in the country, or somewhere in between, I’m always happy to help you discover the best our beautiful state has to offer.

Where should my next Tennessee adventure take me? 👇

The Freddie Mac 30-year fixed rate is near its 2025 low, edging up just 1 basis point to 6.16%—the lowest first-week level since 2022.

Freddie Mac says rates are holding close to 6%, helping boost buyer demand, with purchase applications up more than 20% year over year.

Realtor.com Chief Economist Danielle Hale says lower rates are giving buyers, especially first-time buyers, more reason for optimism, even as conditions vary by market and some cities offer better opportunities than others.
