🏡 The real estate market is changing… and buyers, this could be the window you’ve been waiting for!

I’m seeing a shift, and sellers are becoming more willing to negotiate. That can mean more opportunities for buyers who may have felt like they were priced out or couldn’t compete before.

And sellers… this doesn’t mean you’re out of options either. It just means having the right strategy matters more than ever.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence wondering, “Should I buy? Should I sell? Should I wait?” — let’s talk.

No pressure. No sales pitch. Just a conversation about your options and what makes sense for you in today’s market.

🏡 BIG CHANGES ARE COMING TO THE HOME APPRAISAL PROCESS!

If you’re planning to buy or sell a home, there’s an important change coming November 2, 2026 that you’ll want to know about.

📅 Starting November 2, 2026, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will require appraisals submitted for applicable conventional loans to use the new UAD 3.6 appraisal standard.

So… what does that actually mean for you?

The traditional appraisal forms we’ve been familiar with for years are being replaced with a new, more detailed and data-driven appraisal process. Instead of relying on the old standardized forms, appraisers will provide more structured information about the property, its characteristics, condition, improvements and comparable sales. (Fannie Mae⁠)

🏠 For Buyers:

This could mean more detailed information is being evaluated when determining a property’s value. Understanding the appraisal process—and making sure your offer is supported by the market—will be even more important.

🏡 For Sellers:

Accurate pricing and good documentation matter. Details about improvements, updates and features of your home may become even more important during the appraisal process.

And there’s another change worth knowing…

👉 Appraisers may be reaching out to listing agents more frequently for information about the property as they complete the new report. (NCREC Bulletins⁠)

The bottom line:
This doesn’t mean your home will automatically appraise for more or less. It means the way appraisal information is collected, organized and reported is changing.

As your Realtor®, I’m paying attention to these changes so my clients aren’t caught off guard.

Thinking about buying or selling in 2026 or 2027? Let’s talk BEFORE you make a move. Understanding the process ahead of time can make a big difference. ❤️🏡

A wise man once told me…

Being strong isn't necessarily the answer either. Being kind and loving is actually much more powerful. Christ wants that for all of us. Love and kindness and happiness. Sometimes strength is needed to accomplish all that but love and kindness is the actual goal.🙂

Here’s to the Dirt Missile… in training. 😂🏍️💨

Brushing up on an old skill, learning a whole lot of new ones, and probably making a few questionable decisions along the way. 🤣

Beginner status: activated. 🤘
