🏡 Why Now Could Be a Smart Time to Buy a Home

Mortgage rates are moving in the right direction. As of February 12, 2026, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate is 6.09%, down from 6.87% a year ago.

But here’s the part many buyers overlook: home prices are still rising.
📈 In Union County, home prices increased 8.5% from January 2025 to January 2026!

👉 Translation: Lower rates help, but rising prices can erase those savings fast. Inventory levels are still low so the “perfect time” to buy may be now, as rates are easing and before prices run up even further!

📩 Curious what you can afford at today’s rates? Let’s run the numbers and build a plan together!

✦ The 2026 Trend Report just launched, and the data shows a significant movement of capital. Gen X and Millennials are projected to inherit $2.4 trillion in U.S. property over the next 10 years. This represents a complete evolution of the luxury playbook.

Buyers are moving away from quiet luxury and toward Nest Investing. This means high net worth individuals are prioritizing homes as stable assets that offer more utility than traditional luxury goods. Our report details the emerging global hotspots and the rising demand for modern estates over 4,000 square feet.
