Same time of year. 2 very different stories. And mortgage rates are a big reason why.

Last fall, mortgage rates came down and the number of homes for sale barely budged. This fall, rates have climbed above 7%. Some buyers have pulled back, homes are taking longer to sell, and instead of coming off the market, more listings are sticking around.

Since August, the number of homes for sale has grown by about 25,000. So, what does that mean for you?

Buying? You’ve got more homes to choose from and potentially more room to negotiate on price, repairs, or closing costs.
Selling? Buyers have more options, so you’ve got to give them a reason...

Found a home you love? Before making an offer, I encourage buyers to turn some of that excitement into information.

Start with four questions. How long has the property been on the market? Are there known issues or disclosures to review? What can comparable properties tell you about the local market? Which offer terms are most important for your particular situation?

The answers will not automatically tell you what to offer, but they can give you valuable context for a more informed conversation about your next move.
Buying a home is a major decision, and thoughtful questions are an important part of the process.

Save this Reel for your home search, and reach out when you are ready to discuss your next step.

Why There are More Homes for Sale Right Now (and What It Means for You)

Mortgage rates being back above 7% isn't exactly the news most people wanted. But it’s changing the market in ways that matter whether you’re buying or selling.

A long home repair list can feel overwhelming, so I like to break it down into four categories: urgent, upcoming, routine, and cosmetic.

Safety concerns and active problems, such as leaks or electrical issues, generally deserve prompt professional attention. Items showing significant wear may need to move higher on the list. Routine maintenance can be scheduled, while cosmetic preferences often offer more flexibility.

Prioritizing projects this way can make home maintenance feel much more manageable and help you focus on what needs attention first.

Take a walk through your home and create your own four-part list. If you are unsure about the condition or safety of something, contact an appropriately qualified professional for guidance.

Selling a home requires more than a strong marketing plan. Consistent communication and clear guidance matter at every stage.

Do You Know How Much Equity You Have?

The low mortgage rate you locked in a few years ago might make moving feel off the table. But your equity could put it back on.Homeowners with a mortgage have an average of $310K in equity right now. That could go toward a bigger down payment, so you borrow less at today's rates. Or, you may be able to buy your next place in cash – without needing a mortgage at all. So, don’t write off a move just yet. Let's find out how much equity you have and what it could do for you.
