Fresh off the presses this morning: the U.S. added 162,000 jobs in August, and the unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 📊 Steady job growth like this matters for our York and Lancaster County neighbors because it supports household income, consumer confidence, and — ultimately — housing demand in our local market. Whether you're weighing a move or wondering how the broader economy affects your next step, a healthy job market is a good sign for buyers and sellers alike. Have questions about how today's numbers connect to our local housing market? Send us a message — we're always happy to break it down for you. 🏡

Rates ticked up again this week — the 30-year fixed averaged 6.71% and the 15-year climbed to 6.04%, both a touch higher than last week's 6.66% and 5.98%, according to Freddie Mac's latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey. Keep in mind this is a different measure than Wednesday's MBA applications data — Freddie Mac tracks average rates offered to well-qualified borrowers, while MBA reflects real-time loan application activity nationwide. Here in York and Lancaster Counties, buyers are still finding good opportunities despite the incremental rate moves — inventory has been easing and sellers are staying realistic on pricing, which helps offset some of the affordability pinch. If you're weighing whether now's the right time to buy or sell, we're happy to run the numbers together and talk through what this means for your goals.

Senior homeowners just hit a milestone worth paying attention to. According to the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association, senior home equity climbed to a record $14.92 trillion nationwide this quarter — a $314.8 billion (1.8%) jump that reversed two straight quarterly declines. For our senior neighbors here in York and Lancaster Counties, that kind of equity opens real options: downsizing into a right-sized home, funding updates to age in place comfortably, or simply having more flexibility for whatever's next. If you or a parent are wondering what that equity could mean for your own situation, we're always happy to talk it through — no pressure, just honest guidance.

Does home search now start with AI? ⁣
⁣
For a lot of buyers, it already does. Instead of setting filters and scrolling for hours, they're just asking: "Find me a home near a park, with room for my in-laws, under my budget." And they're getting real answers back. ⁣
⁣
It works better than most people expect — the early part of a search has never moved faster. But there are things these tools can't tell you about a home, and they're usually the things that matter most. ⁣
⁣
This month's post covers both sides. ⁣

: Following up on this morning's rate update — the numbers are in from MBA. Mortgage rates ticked up to 6.79% this week, their highest level in four weeks, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association's Weekly Applications Survey. Even so, mortgage applications rose 0.8% overall, with purchase activity up 2% for the week — a sign buyers are still finding homes worth pursuing despite the rate bump. Refinance activity pulled back as rates rose, and more borrowers are turning to adjustable-rate mortgages (ARM share hit an 8% high for the year). For York and Lancaster County buyers, this is a reminder that today's rate isn't necessarily tomorrow's — and that inventory in many of our local markets is giving buyers real options right now. Want to talk through your financing options, including ARMs? We're here to help.
