Monthly Newletter Monthly Newsletter – 02/20/2025 As we start a new year, I am often asked where home prices are headed. While I don’t have a crystal ball, I study the market trends and activity closely. Many aspects affect home prices, such as the overall economy’s health, inventory levels (supply & demand), and interest rates. Seasonality is also a pattern I […]

Monthly Newletter Monthly Newsletter – 09/27/2024 (Rates Down, Inventory Up: Opportunity Knocks!) As we celebrate the start of autumn, the season of change, the leaves on the trees are not the only things that are falling. Interest rates have gradually fallen throughout the year.

Monthly Newletter Monthly Newsletter – 05/16/2024 As we sit almost five months into 2024 in the middle of the spring market and I reflect on how the year is going, I am grateful, amazed, and locked in on the stats.

Monthly Newletter Monthly Newsletter – 04/24/2024 The real estate industry has been in the news a bit lately. Not so much about the trends and home values.
