There’s something everyone should know about rates right now.

Some homes for sale have mortgages that may be assumable, meaning a qualified buyer could potentially take over the seller's existing loan instead of getting a brand-new one.

Why is that important?

Because if the seller bought in 2020 or 2021, their interest rate could be around 3%.

Now before everyone gets too excited, not every mortgage qualifies and not every seller has an assumable loan.

But they're out there.

And depending on the home, the difference in monthly payment can be significant.

If you're thinking about buying, it's worth understanding how assumable mortgages work. They aren't common, but when they make sense, they can create opportunities that many buyers overlook.

🏡 BIG NEWS FOR HOME BUYERS! 🏡

My preferred lenders are currently offering a 1% interest rate buy-down for the FIRST YEAR of your loan — with NO additional cost to the borrower.

💰 Example:
On a $550,000 loan, this could save you approximately $4,812.50 during your first year of homeownership!

That means:
✅ Lower monthly payments
✅ Easier transition into your new home
✅ More breathing room during your first year

A lot of buyers today are frustrated.

Low inventory.

And endless calls from websites just to look at homes online.

That’s exactly why I created the “Just Looking Program.”

The idea is simple:
If you found the PERFECT home, you’d probably move… even if you’re not actively planning to right now.

This program gives people access to:
• Pre-market homes
• Off-market opportunities
• Private sale opportunities
• Homes BEFORE they hit the internet
…and without the constant sales pressure.

Excited to share that the program was recently featured in a press release: https://www.prlog.org/13145316.html

If you’ve been casually thinking about a move, but don’t want pressure from agents, lenders, or websites blowing up your phone… send me a message and I’ll explain how it works.

Most home buyers are searching online… but here’s the problem:

Many of the BEST homes never even make it to the online market.

They’re often sold BEFORE they’re publicly listed online.

That’s exactly why I offer the “Perfect Home Finder” program for buyers.

Instead of waiting and competing with everyone else for the same listings, we proactively search for opportunities that match exactly what you’re looking for.

You tell me:
✔ Desired areas
✔ Price range
✔ Style & features
✔ What your “perfect home” actually looks like

Then I go to work finding opportunities before the public even knows they exist.

In today’s market, having access to homes BEFORE they hit the internet can be a huge advantage.

If you’ve been frustrated with the home search process or feel like you keep missing the best homes, call/send me a message and I’ll explain how the program works.

But here’s what most buyers miss…

Why wait until homes hit the market—when the best ones never do?

The truth is, many of the most desirable homes are sold before they ever show up online. That means by the time you see them… you’re already late.

Want an unfair advantage?

If you’d like to see this home or get access to other homes not publicly listed, I can help.

Through my Perfect Home Finder Program, I’ll:
• Find homes before they hit the market
• Give you early, priority access
• Match properties to exactly what you’re looking for

You see the best opportunities first—before the competition.

Congratulations to my buyer on getting a home she had been searching for! 🏡

Some home searches take a little longer… and that’s okay.

My buyer had been looking for a home for quite a while. We saw different options, evaluated opportunities, and stayed patient through the process.

And then the right one finally showed up.

Even better — we were able to negotiate a $70,000 price reduction and $8,500 in closing cost assistance.

Patience matters in a home search, but so does strategy when the right opportunity appears.

If you’re currently looking and wondering when the right home will appear — stay patient. The right opportunity has a way of showing up.

Would you sell your home if you would the PERFECT place to move to?

The January numbers are in, and the market is clearly adjusting.

Here’s what we’re seeing:
- New listings: 2,109 (down 4.4% year-over-year)
- Pending sales: 1,708 (virtually unchanged from last year)
- Closed sales: 1,111 (down 8.4% year-over-year)
- Inventory: 4.3 months
- Average days on market: 89

What’s interesting is this:

Buyers are still writing offers (pending sales held steady), but homes are taking longer and pricing is becoming more strategic.

This type of market rewards preparation, positioning, and smart negotiation.

If you’ve been waiting for “clarity” before making a move in 2026, this is it. It’s no longer a frenzy market — it’s a skill-based market.

If you’re curious what your home would realistically sell for right now — or what kind of leverage buyers have — I’m happy to run numbers for you.

Just reply “Numbers” and I’ll get it over to you.

And if you’re a buyer…

This shift creates opportunity.
- More inventory means more choices
- Longer days on market can mean stronger negotiating power
- Price adjustments create entry points we didn’t see last year

The buyers who win in markets like this are the ones who are prepared before the competition re-enters.

If you’d like to see what’s realistically possible right now in your price range, reply “Buyer” and I’ll send over a strategy outline.

Just Sold in Milwaukie, Oregon 🏡

After spending time searching and waiting for the right opportunity, my client was able to secure this home for $60,000 under the original list price.

This is a good example of how timing, thoughtful negotiation, and having a clear plan can make a difference. We didn’t rush the process—we stayed patient and let the right opportunity come together.

Congrats to my client on this purchase and the start of an exciting new chapter.

If you’re house hunting and wondering whether opportunities like this still exist, they can—with the right approach.
