Did you know? Two-thirds of homeowners today either own their house free and clear, or they have at least 50% equity in their homes.

And that’s exactly the kind of equity that changes decisions. It can:
Open the door to selling and buying again.
Put you in a position where you can renovate instead of move.
Set you up to start a business or go back to school.

Want to know how much you have?

Now, it’s not the same everywhere, but the direction is clear. This is the most buyer-friendly set up we’ve seen in years.

Renting isn’t bad . . . but some relationships are meant to be temporary.

For a lot of people, there comes a point when flexibility starts feeling like uncertainty, and they want something more committed, more stable.

If that sounds like you, maybe it’s time to stop renewing your lease and start falling in love with homeownership instead.

Ready to break up with renting? DM me and let’s talk it through.

Buying your first home can feel frustrating when the options don’t seem to match your budget. But if you check out townhomes, the numbers may actually work better than you’d expect.

Townhomes make up nearly 1 in 5 new homes being built today, which is the highest share on record.

And with more townhomes on the market, you have more options in what’s typically one of the most affordable ways into homeownership.

Sure, they may be a bit smaller – but that usually means they're priced a bit lower, too.

So why not consider a townhouse for your first place? DM me if you want to see what’s available locally.

Buying a home is getting more affordable, and this graph helps explain why.

It shows how much of a household’s income typically goes toward buying a home. As a general rule, spending 30% or less of your income on housing is considered affordable.

For the last couple of years, the math was still well above that threshold. But lately, things have been getting better thanks to a mix of lower mortgage rates, slower home price growth, and rising wages.

While affordability isn't going to snap back overnight, the trend is finally moving in the right direction.

If you want to talk through what this means for your buying power, send me a message and let’s break it down.
