Foreclosures are up, but don't panic.

Yes, filings have risen over the past year. But zoom out and look at the full picture.

We're still below historical norms – and nowhere near levels seen around 2008.
This isn't a crash. It's the market returning to normal after foreclosures were artificially low during the pandemic.

And here's something else worth knowing. These are filings. Not all of them will actually turn into completed foreclosures.

If you've been hearing a lot about this lately and want to make sense of what it means, drop a comment or send me a DM. Happy to talk it through.

Spring always gives sellers an edge.

But data shows there’s a short window when that advantage really peaks – and it’s usually the last two weeks of May.

While it can vary by market, that's when buyer demand is at its strongest and competition pushes prices higher.

In some cases, that timing alone can mean a seller makes tens of thousands of dollars more.

If you’re aiming to sell for top dollar, this is the moment to watch.
