You may have heard home prices dipped in some areas this year, but that doesn’t mean your home lost real value. Here’s the context more headlines skip.

While select markets are seeing slight price declines, it’s not happening everywhere. It’s really only happening in markets where prices rose too high, too fast during the pandemic housing boom.

The majority of the country is still seeing prices rise year over year. Not fall.

That’s part of the reason why 96% of homes are still worth more than what their owners paid for them.

The bottom line is: home prices aren’t crashing. And you don’t need to worry about your home’s value.

With how much prices rose these past 5 years, your house is probably worth a lot more than you’d expect, even if you do live in one of the markets where prices are re-adjusting.

If you want an update on your home’s...

You may not want to put your moving plans into hibernation mode this winter, because the savings this time of year are real.

LendingTree found January buyers paid about $23k less than May buyers for the same size home.

And that’s largely because the price per square foot drops off in the winter due to less buyer competition.

That’s only one of the perks of buying now versus waiting until the busier spring season.

Curious what acting now could save you in our market? Let’s talk.

When’s the last time you had an agent show you the value of your home? Odds are, it was when you bought your house.

That’s too long to go without an update, because a lot has changed in the housing market. And it’s a big reason why most homeowners have no idea how much their house is actually worth today.

The real numbers surprise almost everyone.

Data from Realtor.com shows that even homeowners who purchased the average-priced home just 10 years ago likely have almost $285k in equity to leverage.

And that’s just because they’ve been paying down their home loan and how prices have risen over time.

If you want to know what your number looks like, send me a message and I’ll run a personalized estimate for you.

It’s a no-obligation, no-fuss way to find out what your biggest asset is worth. Because it’s a number every homeowner needs to...
