Are you thinking of waiting for mortgage rates to drop before you buy? According to the latest forecast, you could be waiting for a while.

Expert projections show rates aren’t expected to change much anytime soon. And, after the past few years, that kind of stability is actually a good thing. Because it means you can finally plan with a little more confidence.

I’ll keep you posted as I see changes in these forecasts, especially as the economic data shifts.

But let’s talk about what’s possible for you right now.

07/26/2025

Despite what you may be hearing in the headlines, experts agree home prices are still projected to rise overall in 2025 – just at a slower pace than we’ve seen recently.

On average, forecasters say it’ll be about a 1.5-2% increase nationwide this year.

While some markets are seeing prices level off or dip slightly right now, a dramatic drop across the board isn’t expected. Prices may even be what some would argue as closer to flat by the end of this year.

But context matters, and what you should always keep in mind is, nationally, prices are up 55% compared to just 5 years ago. So, some slight declines don’t drastically change the game.

But every market is different. So, let’s talk about what prices are doing in our area and what that means for your plans.

Knowing what’s ahead for the rest of the year is key to your success, whether you’re planning to buy, sell, or just stay informed. And that’s why you need an expert who will keep sharing these market updates with you.

So, what do the latest forecasts show? Mortgage rates will likely settle in the mid-6s for the rest of 2025. And that’s not terribly different from where we are now. So, don’t expect a big drop in rates.

But, keeping an eye on factors like inflation that can influence where mortgage rates move is key. And that’s why you have a pro on your side.

If your plans are changing, don’t wait on a rate that may not come. Let’s have a conversation, so you can see what’s possible in today’s market.

If you want to make a move, your best bet is to focus on your personal situation – not what the headlines say – and work with a real estate pro who knows how to navigate the shifting conditions in our local market.

Let’s talk about what’s happening in our area to build a plan that works for you.

If you’ve been watching the market, you’ve likely noticed a few changes already this year. But what’s next?

Foreclosure headlines are making noise again – and they’re designed to stir up fear to get you to read them. Here’s some data that can put the numbers into perspective.

For context, only 1 in every 758 homes had a foreclosure filing in the first half of 2025 (that’s 0.13%). But during the crash? Back in 2010, Mortgage News Daily says it was 1 in every 45. That’s a big difference.

So, don’t let the headlines scare you. I’ve got the data that can replace fear with facts. This isn’t a sign of trouble – and we’re nowhere near crash levels, no matter what the headlines seem to say.

DM me your questions, or if you want to know how this impacts the value of your home.
