Need to move, but worried you missed the window to buy or sell your house until next year or next spring? Don’t count yourself out of the market so fast.

About a third of all home sales happen in the last four months of the year – and that share has been growing every year since 2023.

Based on the forecasts, that means roughly 11,800 houses are expected to sell every single day between now and the end of December.

The buyers are out there, and sellers are more apt to negotiate so they can also be ready to move before the new year. Let’s connect to discuss your strategy.

Homes priced under $250,000 saw sales drop 2-3% compared to last year, while homes priced above $750,000 saw sales climb by double digits (see graph)

Ask a couple people how the housing market is doing and you’ll probably get a couple different answers. That’s because right now, the market runs on 2 very different tracks, split by price point.

09/09/2026

Homes priced at $1M+ saw sales jump 14.8% compared to last year, even as the overall housing market cooled off. That’s according to the latest data from NAR.

If you’re sitting on a high-end property, this is a good time to be selling. Buyers with serious budgets are active right now, and well-priced luxury listings are moving fast.

First-time buyers, your remote job might give you a homebuying advantage you haven't thought about.

If you can work from anywhere, you can buy just about anywhere as well. And searching in a lower-cost area could mean more homes within your budget. It could also mean spending less on everyday things like gas and groceries after your move.

These are states where your money will go further, but they aren't your only options. Its also important to acknowledge that every state has pockets with better affordability zones.

A local agent can match your budget and lifestyle to a short list of areas, whether that's a new state or somewhere closer to where you already live. Let's connect and start building yours.

While everyone's been watching mortgage rates, there's another trend buyers shouldn't overlook...

Every fall, the housing market tends to shift.

More homes hit the market. Asking prices often soften. And sellers are usually more willing to negotiate.

Those seasonal changes happen almost every year – and they can make buying a little easier.

Let's talk about whether those same trends are showing up in your local market – and what it means for you.

Still waiting for mortgage rates and home prices to come down? Here’s what the forecasts show. Expect more of the same. Rates likely won’t change much – and prices will likely rise. Sometimes the best move isn't waiting for the market to change. It's finding out what's possible right now. Let’s talk it over.

Hoping for lower mortgage rates and lower home prices?

Forecasts show that’s probably not in the cards. At least, not right now.

Mortgage rates aren’t expected to capitulate. And at the same time, home prices should keep rising at about the same pace they have been.

While that may not be what you wanted to hear, it doesn’t mean you’re out of options.

The best move is rarely waiting for the market to change. It's almost always exploring what's still possible from where you stand right now.

Others are making it happen even with rates and prices where they are & I'd be willing to bet that you can too.

Let's talk if you want help thinking it over.

The latest home price data just made one thing very clear.

More markets are seeing prices rise. And fewer are seeing them fall.

Just one quarter ago, home prices were rising in 71% of markets. Today, it's 80%. That’s a pretty big shift in just 3 months.

Now, that doesn't mean prices are climbing everywhere. But it does mean there’s no widespread crash happening. If anything, prices may have turned a corner.

Thinking about making a move? Send me a DM, and let's look at what's happening in your market before you decide what to do.

All these clickbait headlines you see about prices falling are almost always exactly that... clickbait... You click, they win - and unless they're talking about a very specific region, they care not if your life gets put on hold due to the fear they're mongering. Data is what matters, and the data clearly tells a different story.

Still waiting for home prices to come down? Like I've been saying, that's proving more unlikely everyday. Home prices are now rising in 80% of housing markets. That’s up from 71% last quarter. In other words, more markets are seeing prices go up — not down. Before you put your plans on hold, let's look at what's happening in our market. Waiting may not save you as much as you hope.
