Planning to sell in 2026? Don’t wait for the new year to start getting ready.

There are more homes on the market right now, so buyers finally have options again. Your house will sell if it’s prepped right, so hear me on that. But it means you’ve got some prep work to do if you want your house to be the one that grabs their attention.

Now, you don’t have to do a full-on renovation, but you will want to tackle some strategic repairs. And that’s a lot easier (and less stressful) if you start that work now.

But the key is knowing which updates are worth it, and which ones aren’t. You want to be sure you’re spending your time and effort on projects that’ll actually pay off.

That’s why having the right agent really helps. Want some advice on what’s worth tackling in our market? DM me.

Seeing chatter online that’s making you wonder if home prices are about to fall? Here’s some information that’ll put your mind at ease.

Over 100 housing experts agree prices are projected to rise nationally for at least the next five years. And even the most pessimistic of those forecasters are not calling for a crash, or even a decline.

Now, the pace of that price growth will vary by market. Some areas will climb more than others. Some may see small, short-term declines. But the big picture is: expect slow, continued growth.

And that’s not a crash. That’s a market getting closer to what’s normal.

How low will mortgage rates go? Here's what the experts are saying in their latest forecasts.

While no one is calling for a big drop, experts think there will be slow improvement over the next year.

But it won’t be a straight line down. You’ll want to brace for some bumps along the road as new economic data comes out.

And here's what you need to remember. We don't have to see a big drop for you to feel the difference. Any downward movement should help your bottom line.

New home sales just hit their highest level in more than two years, and it’s not hard to see why.

To help sell their inventory, many builders are cutting prices, buying down mortgage rates, and more. And these incentives can make a real difference when you buy.

That’s why so many people are opting for brand-new homes lately.

The bottom line? A newly built home may be more within reach than you ever thought possible.

Let’s talk about what local builders are offering in your target area and see what fits your budget.

Overpricing doesn’t just cost you offers. It can cost you the move you need to make.

Over half of agents today say they’re seeing more sellers pull their listings off the market than normal.

And the #1 reason for that? The sellers aren’t getting offers they think are fair.

A lot of the time, those sellers expect to get the sky-high price their neighbors got a few years ago. But that’s not how the market is today.

That means they never get to relocate for a job, have more space for their growing family, or move closer to their aging relatives. All because of their asking price.

Don’t let outdated expectations stall your plans too.
