Stuck between two houses you both love?

Here is the exact order I walk my buyers through so the choice makes itself, instead of a coin flip.

Real monthly cost first, not just the price. Then resale trajectory. Then the actual commute, not the one on a map. Then the 5-year gut check, only after the numbers.

Skip that order and you end up second-guessing it for months after you move in.

Which one would you pick? Drop your gut reaction below, I read every comment.

Stuck choosing between two homes right now? DM me your two addresses and I will run this exact comparison with you.

September in the Temecula Valley is quietly the best month of the year.

Harvest is on in Wine Country, the Saturday farmers market in Old Town stops being a heat endurance test, Friday night football is back, and the Santa Rosa Plateau trails finally feel worth the drive again.

I rounded up what is actually worth putting on the calendar this month.

Save this one, and send it to whoever you drag around town with you.

Comment FALL and I will send you my Temecula Valley fall guide with the events, spots, and weekends worth knowing about.

I am Rory Ellis, Murrieta local and Realtor with Prosper Real Estate.

What is the one September thing around here you never miss?

What Is A Property Survey, And Do You Need One Before Buying A Home?

The land a home sits on is just as valuable, if not more valuable, than the house itself. However, many homeowners don’t know where their property ends and their neighbor’s begins. If you’re interested in buying a property, you should know exactly where the boundaries lie so that you can avoid...

How to spot an agent worth referring in Temecula 🤩

It’s not just someone who knows the market or has hundreds of closings under their belt.

It’s the agent who knows how to protect the people you send their way.

The agent worth referring is the one who can tell when a repair is worth pushing for, when an offer needs a closer look, when the house has red flags your friend might miss, or when the best advice is, “I know you love it, but I do not think this is the one.”

You are trusting someone with your friend, your coworker, your neighbor, or your family member, and I never forget that there is a real relationship behind every name sent my way.

If a friend of yours is buying or selling in Temecula, send them my way. I would be honored to help.

You built an ADU to add value to your home.

The appraisal does not always agree with you.

Most neighborhoods do not have enough recently sold homes with a permitted ADU to give an appraiser strong comps, so the value you added does not always show up dollar for dollar, especially when a buyer’s loan depends on that number.

If you are planning to sell a home with an ADU in the Temecula Valley, get ahead of it before you list, not after the appraiser walks through.

Comment ADU and I will send you the checklist I give my own sellers.

Understanding Micro-Location, Why The Same Street Has Different Prices



08/19/2026

Buying a home in Temecula is not as simple as waiting for the “perfect” market.

The headlines might make it sound like everyone is sitting still, but my clients are proving them wrong. 😉

People outgrow homes, find the one they cannot stop thinking about, need more space, want a different neighborhood, or realize the timing finally makes sense for their family.

That is why I never want clients making decisions based only on what the news says is happening.

Your move should be based on your numbers, your goals, your timing, and what actually makes sense for your life.

If buying or selling has been on your mind, send me a message. I’d love to help you figure out what the right timing looks like for you.
