A lot of buyers think affordability is impossible right now. But sometimes it’s not about giving up on homeownership. It’s about expanding where you’re looking. Yes, some states are significantly more affordable than others. This list breaks down the top 10. But that doesn’t mean you have to make a cross-country move to find better options. Even in expensive markets, there are usually neighborhoods, towns, and communities nearby where home prices, property taxes, or overall costs are a lot more manageable. The key is knowing where to look – and a local agent can help you find those opportunities. Curious what’s out there? Broadening your search, even just a little outside of town, might open up more options than you’d expect.

Smaller homes are having a moment. That’s because affordability is tight and, for many buyers, smaller is what fits the budget. And builders are listening. Newly built homes have been trending smaller since 2014 – and that’s on purpose. They’re more affordable than larger homes. And many come with built-in community amenities like walking trails, fitness centers, and even co-working spaces, so less space still delivers. If you’ve been feeling priced out of bigger homes, a smaller one could fit your budget and your lifestyle. And with brand-new everything, it may not feel like as much of a compromise as you think. DM me to walk through what’s available in our area.

Still deciding whether to buy your first home now or wait? Here’s something you’ll want to consider. Buyers who get into their first home around age 30 build about $119,000 more in net worth by age 50 compared to those who wait until their 40s. So, every year you spend saving for the “right” moment could quietly chip away at your future wealth. That doesn’t mean buy before you’re ready. But it does mean, if you’re ready and able to buy now, it may be a better strategy than waiting. DM me and let’s map out what timeline fits your situation and our market. You might find that a head start matters more than waiting to save the “perfect” down payment.

One of the biggest questions I’m getting right now is: “What’s going to happen with the housing market in the second half of the year?” And it makes sense why everyone is asking. Affordability is tight. Rates feel high. Prices do too. And people want to know if the second half of the year is going to be better. Here’s the honest answer. A lot of it depends on what happens with inflation – and the lingering uncertainty overseas. But even in today’s market, there’s opportunity, if you know where to look. Want a breakdown of what’s impacting the market, where experts think things could go from here, and what you can actually do about it?
