People are going to talk about the housing market when they get together this holiday season. And you’re going to hear a lot of different opinions.

Make sure you’re getting your information from a true expert. Here are the real answers to the top 3 questions that may be on your mind:

“Will I be able to find a home if I want to move?”
Yes, there are more homes for sale now than there have been in years, giving buyers more options and sellers more places to go.

“Should I wait for prices to come down?”
Experts aren’t projecting a big decline. While prices will always vary by area, nationally they’re expected to keep rising for at least the next 5 years.

“Will I ever be able to afford a house?”
Affordability is slowly improving as mortgage rates ease and price growth cools, making monthly payments a bit more manageable than they were even just a few months ago.

Clear answers = confident decisions

Why Buying a Home Still Pays Off in the Long Run

Renting may feel less expensive today, but owning is what builds real wealth over time. And with affordability starting to improve, the path to homeownership may be opening up more than you think.

If you’re curious what buying could look like for you, let’s connect. We can figure out your next move, pressure-free.

Renting can feel much less expensive and much simpler than buying a home, especially right now.

Why So Many People Are Thankful They Bought a Home This Year

The people who bought a home this year didn’t wait for perfect market conditions to line up. They acted on what they needed in their life. And they’re thankful they did.

If you’re feeling the pull toward something better, let’s talk through your goals. Your next home could bring you more space, more connection, and more happiness than you think.

Homebuyers are weighing their options right now, and they certainly have a lot on their minds.

Here’s something anyone torn between renting or buying needs to realize.

While renting can feel much less expensive right now, it also means missing out on the long-term wealth you build when you own.

This chart makes it clear. No matter when someone buys, homeowners end up building far more wealth than renters. And that’s true even after you factor in things like repairs and property taxes.

That’s because every mortgage payment adds to your equity, while every rent payment is money you never get back.

If you’ve been wondering whether you should rent or buy, this is your reminder that owning is a better long-term play.

Whether we’ve recently worked together, or it’s been a while, I’m so grateful for your trust and support this year.

Helping people find a place to call home is truly at the heart of this work — and it’s something to be thankful for every single day.

If anything comes up (big or small) for you or your loved ones, or if you just have a question about the market, reach out anytime and support is just a message away.

Wishing you a season filled with comfort, good food, and all the things that make home feel special.

As we celebrate Thanksgiving week, I wanted to share some important updates on mortgage rates that could impact your home buying journey:

📉 The 30-year fixed rate has dipped to about 6.32%.
📈 There’s buzz in the market about a potential rate cut in December.
⚖️ Overall, we’re still seeing a stable environment in the market.

If you’ve been considering buying a home before the year wraps up, now is the perfect time to reassess your buying power. I’d be more than happy to connect you with a fantastic lender who can help run some numbers or even get you a quick pre-approval—holiday hustle and all!

I truly appreciate your support, and if you find this info helpful, please share this post with anyone who might be interested. 🦃💛
