📰 👉🏼 New news! According to recent reports and analyses of Google Trends data, searches for phrases like “home for sale” have been climbing steadily in 2025 and recently reached a two-year high in mid-July.

This suggests a notable increase in homebuyer curiosity and potential interest in the market, despite prevailing high mortgage rates and elevated home prices.

This indicates that while the market may feel slower to some, behind the scenes, buyers are actively researching and following market trends.

The sustained increase in search activity for homebuying terms suggests that potential buyers are waiting for the right opportunity to act. Many are likely monitoring for favorable shifts in prices, interest rates, or the availability of properties that match their needs

This jump in supply gives today’s shoppers an extra home to consider for every three that were on the market this time last year. Pre-qualify today if you’re looking to buy soon!

In signs that housing inventory is seeing meaningful recovery, active listings rose in July at a record annual pace — up 30.7% — for the third month in a row, according to the Realtor.com Monthly Housing Trends Report released on Tuesday.

Although buyers had more for-sale home options in July, competition remained largely in sellers’ favor, with listing prices near all-time highs and homes selling more quickly than before the pandemic.

“The U.S. housing market continues to move toward more evenly balanced supply and demand compared to the 2021 frenzy,” said Danielle Hale, chief economist for Realtor.com. “Our July data shows elevated mortgage rates left many buyers tightening their budgets and sellers responding with price reductions, while home shoppers who kept searching saw more available options.”

🔥 Fire bowls can add a little ambiance but where would you put one? You’ll want to choose a space in your backyard that’s open without anything that might come in contact with the flames.

The best place to put a fire bowl or portable fire pit is on a flat, stable, non-combustible natural surface. Bricks, gravel, granite, paving stones and concrete are great options. Put the fire bowl a safe distance away from your home, deck, overhangs, trees, etc.

If you're looking to update your home's design, there are vital things to keep in mind. First, it's essential to choose a style that reflects your personal taste. Then, you'll want to focus on creating a cohesive look throughout your home. Here are a few tips to help you get started:

✅ Start with the basics
When it comes to home design, there are a few basic concepts that you need to keep in mind. First, you need to consider the function of each room in your home. What do you want each room to be used for? This will help you determine the necessary furniture and fixtures for each space.

✅ Keep it simple
Don't try to overcomplicate things when it comes to your home's design. Keep things simple and clean for a chic, sophisticated look.

✅ Consider your personal style
Your home should reflect your personal style and taste. Choose design elements that you love and that make you happy. After all, you're the one who has to live in the space!

✅ Pay attention to detail
The small details can make or break a home design. Be sure to pay attention to window treatments, hardware, and flooring.

✅ Think about functionality
As you design your home, be sure to keep functionality in mind. Each room should be designed with its purpose in mind. For example, the kitchen should be designed for cooking and entertaining, while the bedroom should be a relaxing oasis.

✅ Don't forget about curb appeal
When you're designing your home, don't forget about curb appeal! The exterior of your home is just as important as the interior when making a good first impression.

✅ Get creative
Don't be afraid to get creative with your home design. There are no rules, so feel free to experiment!

✅ Work with a professional
Don't hesitate to work with a professional designer if you need help bringing your vision to life

Great curb appeal can make a big difference when selling a home. Not only can it make your property stand out from the competition, but it could also bring in higher offers.

An attractive house can also be a benefit even if you’re aren’t planning to sell right now. After all, who doesn’t want to take pride in their home while keeping it in excellent condition?

Do you want to boost your home’s curb appeal without spending a lot of time or money? Take a look at these budget-friendly ideas:

1. Freshen up your door. You don’t have to replace your door to give it a makeover. Try a new coat of paint, new address numbers, upgraded hardware or even just a decorative welcome mat. A brassy kickplate can be nice, too.

2. Update your mailbox. Still stuck with that old aluminum mailbox up front? Upgrade to brick or another stylish look. You can also paint the old box a new color or replace the pole if it’s rusted.

3. Make the porch more inviting. If your front porch looks a little bland, add a sitting area with chairs and a rug or install a bench swing. Potted plants and warm lighting also go a long way.

4. Clean up the exterior. Power-wash the brick and siding, give your shutters a new coat of paint, and fix any holes or stains on the driveway. You’d be surprised what a little deep cleaning can do.

5. Outline your garden. Add a new layer of mulch and install pavers around the outside of each garden area. They make the yard really pop — even without flowers or other foliage.

The mission of decluttering & depersonalization is to provide a clean, blank slate for buyers. Less is definitely always more when it comes to preparing your home for sale! Leave open space on counters, clear out closets and show off as much storage space as you can. Pack away your personal items and stage with neutral accessories to allow buyers to visualize themselves in the home.

⏰ If you are looking to buy a home this is NOT the time to put that on pause. 💰 Home prices are going to rise.

⬆️ Interest rates are normalizing and when they go down you can refinance. If you wait for rates to go down you will pay more for the house. Marry the house and date the rate!
