Selling a Luxury House? Here’s Why Now Is a Good Time

"If you own a luxury house, you're in a stronger spot than most sellers right now. While much of the market has cooled, the high-end tier hasn't. Sale prices and buyer demand are both up. So if you're considering selling, now could be a great time to make your move.
Selling a high-end house is a big decision, and you deserve to feel confident going in. With sale prices climbing and buyers active at the top, this is a strong window to make your move.

For most people, their first house was never meant to be their forever home. It was meant to be a stepping stone to whatever came next.
And today's market is creating an interesting opportunity for homeowners who are ready to move up.
Starter homes are still in short supply, which means the house you're selling may be exactly what another buyer has been hoping to find.
At the same time, there are more move-up homes on the market than buyers have had to choose from in years.
Throw in the equity you've likely built over the years, and moving up may be more realistic than you think.
If your current home no longer fits your life, let's talk about what your next chapter could look like.

If the first half of this year has left you feeling stuck, you're definitely not the only one.

Mortgage rates stayed higher than people hoped. Affordability was still tough. And every time it felt like things might improve, something else got in the way. But here's the good news.

A lot of housing experts think the second half of the year could start heading in a better direction. Not because everything magically gets fixed overnight...

But because if inflation cools off and things settle down overseas, mortgage rates could ease, more buyers could jump back in, and the market could finally start feeling a little less stuck.

Will everything suddenly be easy? Probably not. But after the first half we've had, "better" is a pretty good place to start.

If you're wondering what that could mean for your plans (or for our local market), send me a message.

I’ve got the latest forecasts on rates...

Down Payments Are Smaller Than They’ve Been Since 2021
"Saving for a down payment can feel like the hardest part of buying a home. And with affordability as tight as it’s been lately, it’s fair to wonder how anyone manages it right now. Here’s something you may not have seen coming.

Some people are getting their foot in the door with a smaller down payment.

According to Realtor.com, the typical buyer put down about $23,400 in early 2026 – that's around $5,000 below what was typical the year before (a 19% drop year over year).
Down payments are smaller than they’ve been in years, and that opens the door for more buyers.

And with added help from assistance programs and a little help from loved ones, you may have more ways forward than you realized. Connect with a trusted lender to talk through your options."
