Every closing day is so special. So exciting. Filled with so much joy. 🏡✨

Today, I had the honor of helping a young, active-duty Army family close on their very first home.

This closing is extra special because it is also my first closing with their amazing agent, Tammy Colvin!

Tammy, thank you for choosing me to be part of your clients' journey and a part of your success. I truly appreciate the trust you placed in me, and I am so excited for many more closings together!

Congratulations to our incredible first-time homeowners!

Welcome HOME and Welcome to beautiful Colorado, Minietta Family. Big hugs 🫂

❤️🤍💙

Misty’s Market Update ✨

The Fed met yesterday and no surprise, they left rates alone. No cuts and no hikes. They’re just sitting tight right now.

The reason is pretty simple. The economy is holding up. People are working, spending money, and things haven’t slowed down enough for the Fed to step in and start cutting rates.

A little background, the Fed is led by Jerome Powell. He’s been in this role since 2018 and has been through a lot with the economy, COVID, inflation spikes, all of it. He tends to be more cautious and data driven, which is why you’re seeing this “wait and see” approach instead of quick rate cuts.

What does that mean for us?

Mortgage rates didn’t magically drop overnight. They’re still moving day by day with the bond market, that 10-year I’m always watching.

We did see a little improvement today, which I’ll take, but nothing major.

My advice, don’t sit around waiting for some big rate drop. That’s not the market we’re in right now.

There are still opportunities, it just comes down to timing and strategy.

If you’re thinking about buying, refinancing, or just want to run numbers and see what makes sense, reach out. I’m always here to walk you through it.

Happy Earth Day 🌎

A reminder that the little things matter. Plant something, pick up litter, conserve water, support local farms, recycle what you can, and spend time appreciating the beauty around us.

We only get one home, let’s take care of it. Here in Colorado, I’m especially grateful for the mountains, fresh air, wildlife, and all the places that remind us how incredible nature really is.

Misty’s Market Update ✨

The market opened today with Treasuries slightly stronger across all maturities. The 10-year Treasury yield is currently at 4.315, just a touch lower than the prior close.

When yields ease, even slightly, it can help support mortgage rate stability. That said, we are still in a very reactive and volatile environment.

There is a lot driving the market right now. Oil prices surged following renewed geopolitical tension tied to Iranian shipping routes. When energy prices rise, it can add inflationary pressure, which is something the bond market watches closely.

Stocks are mixed, showing a lack of clear direction as investors weigh both global risk and economic data.

On the housing side, existing home sales declined in March according to the National Association of Realtors. This continues to reflect affordability challenges and limited inventory.

🚨 Here in Colorado Springs, we are seeing a similar story with a bit more balance starting to come in. Inventory has improved slightly compared to last year, giving buyers more options, but well priced homes are still moving. Buyers are more payment focused and taking their time, while sellers need to be strategic with pricing and presentation to stand out.

The yield curve has bull steepened, with the 10-year yield easing slightly. This is a small but positive signal for rates.

What this means for you:

Buyers, small movements in rates still matter. Preparation is everything in this market. Being fully preapproved puts you in a position to act when the right opportunity comes up.

Sellers, buyers are still active but more selective. Pricing correctly and presenting your home well makes all the difference.

This market is not declining, it is adjusting. Strategy matters more than trying to time the market.

If you want to understand how today’s market impacts your buying power or your home value, I am always here to help.

✨ Irish Blessing ✨

“May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.”

Feeling so grateful for the relationships, community, and opportunities that surround me every day.
