Not every house is selling for over asking anymore. In fact, it’s down to about 1 in 4 homes today, compared to nearly half in 2021. And that's a good sign for buyers.

It means the market is getting back to normal. Now, this is going to vary by area. But overall, it means you may find sellers with more wiggle room on their price today. And in a lot of places, negotiation is back on the table.

Let’s make the most of it.

If your house is for sale and you’re not getting any offers, or at least none you’re comfortable with, you may be starting to wonder if it’s better to rent it out instead. But here’s the truth. Being a landlord isn’t always as easy as it sounds.

You have to find tenants.
Chase down missed payments.
Be on call anytime something breaks.
And deal with unexpected costs and repairs.

So, make sure to carefully weigh the pros and cons before you make a decision. For some homeowners, the hassle (and the expense) of turning a house into a rental property aren’t worth it.

Online searches for down payment information recently hit an all-time high.
That shows a lot of buyers aren’t sure what’s actually required, and they’re looking for answers.

Unfortunately, many still think they have to put 20% down. But the data says something very different is happening.

The typical first-time buyer actually puts down about 10% – that’s half of what you probably expected. And some do as little as 3.5% or even 0% down (depending on their loan type).

So, that 20% myth is only holding you back and delaying your timeline more than necessary.

If you’re curious about what’s really required, it’s worth having a conversation with a trusted lender. A true expert can give you better information than an online search.

Then let's chat about what your budget can get you in today’s market.

There’s a lot of talk in the news about affordability and mortgage rates right now, but here’s what almost no one is talking about.

Yes, mortgage rates have been inching up these past few weeks. But it’s still more affordable to buy compared to buyers who made a purchase last year.

Even now, the average monthly payment is about $300 lower than it was just a year ago. So, while rates have shifted lately, the opportunity to buy hasn’t gone away. If you want or need to move, let’s talk strategy.

DM me if you want to know what I’m doing to help my clients feel confident moving forward.

Did you try to buy a home last year and feel stuck? Maybe there just weren’t enough options.

Or, nothing really fit what you were looking for. That’s starting to change.

There are now nearly 2x as many new listings hitting the market compared to a few months ago. Those are homes that were just put up for sale.

That means more fresh options and a better chance of finding the house that actually works for you.

If you’re curious what’s out there in our area right now, let’s take a look together.

If you’re currently asking yourself: can I stay in this house long-term, or does it make more sense to move? Here’s what I'd tell you.
While aging in place can be a great option, over time it usually means making updates so your home continues to work for you.

Some of those changes are simple. Others can be more of an investment.

That’s why planning ahead matters if you think you want to go this route. It gives you the chance to spread out the work and the costs over time. But it’s also okay if you don’t want to take that on.

If this has crossed your mind at all and you’re trying to decide what’s next, what projects to tackle, or what else is out there, let’s talk it through.

The net worth of a homeowner is 43x greater than that of a renter.
Not 2x.
Not 5x.
Forty-three.
And even if renting feels like the easier move right now, that’s a number that sticks with you – because it shows what’s at stake over time.

Look, I know buying can feel out of reach. But when’s the last time you actually ran the numbers?

Because you might be closer than you think. Now that doesn’t mean you have to buy today. But you should at least know your options and what it would take to get there.

Want to stop renting and start building something for yourself? DM me and come up with a plan together. Your timeline. Your budget. Your future.
