📊 THE BIGGER PICTURE | WEEKLY MARKET UPDATE

🏡 HOME PRICES ARE RISING NATIONALLY. BUT DENVER TELLS A DIFFERENT STORY.

The Fed held rates steady, inflation remains elevated, and new-home sales are slowing.

But the biggest story may be what's happening with housing prices.

🏦 THE FED & INFLATION

The Fed held its benchmark rate unchanged following September's quarter-point increase.

Inflation remains above its 2% target:

• Headline PCE: 3.6% annually
• Core PCE: 3.1% annually

Remember, the Fed doesn't directly set mortgage rates. Inflation and bond-market expectations play major roles.

🏡 NATIONAL VS. COLORADO HOUSING

Nationally, new-home sales fell 5.3% year over year, and the median new-home price declined 3.9%.

Yet the Case-Shiller index showed national home prices UP 2.1%.

How can both be true?

More lower-priced homes sold, changing the median. That doesn't necessarily mean individual properties lost value.

📍 DENVER METRO

September's local numbers tell another story:

• Median closed price: $575,000, down 2%
• Pending sales: down 13%
• Active listings: 13,522, up 2%

Colorado statewide pending contracts also declined 10.9%.

Unlike the national Case-Shiller index, Denver's median price reflects the mix of homes sold. These measures aren't directly comparable, but both help explain the market.

💡 THE BIGGER PICTURE

Denver buyers have more choices, and negotiating opportunities vary by neighborhood and property type.

For communities like The Aurora Highlands, Bud Hardin and Sojourn at Idlewild, it's worth comparing builder incentives with other mortgage strategies.

The goal isn't simply finding the lowest advertised rate. It's understanding how financing affects cash flow, liquidity and long-term goals.

Your Mortgage Can Do More.

📊 THE BIGGER PICTURE | WEEKLY MARKET UPDATE

🏡 HOME SALES ARE SLOWING. BUT OPPORTUNITIES ARE EMERGING.

September pending home sales declined 11.3% nationally compared to last year.

But how does Colorado compare?

📍 COLORADO VS. NATIONAL

September pending contracts, year over year:

🇺🇸 National: ↓ 11.3%
🏔️ Colorado: ↓ 10.9%
🏙️ Denver Metro: ↓ 12.7%

Denver's slowdown is slightly more pronounced than the national trend.

And here's what makes these numbers interesting.

Nearly 64% of Denver Metro sales included seller concessions, while approximately 49% involved a price reduction.

Buyers may have more negotiating opportunities, even without a significant increase in available homes.

🏗️ NEW CONSTRUCTION

National housing starts declined 5.2%, while completed homes fell 14% compared to last year.

Builders are slowing construction, which could limit future supply.

For communities like The Aurora Highlands, Sojourn at Idlewild and Bud Hardin understanding builder incentives alongside other financing options is increasingly important.

📈 MORTGAGE RATES & BONDS

Global uncertainty and movements in Treasury yields continue to influence mortgage pricing.

The national average 30-year fixed mortgage rate is currently 7.33%, according to Mortgage News Daily.

But the advertised rate is only one part of the financial equation.

💡 THE BIGGER PICTURE

In Colorado, the slowdown is creating opportunities to negotiate price, concessions and financing terms.

There are also mortgage strategies that approach cash flow, liquidity, investments and mortgage debt differently than traditional financing.

The goal isn't simply to purchase a home.

It's to understand how your mortgage can support your broader financial picture.

Don't just build equity. Build options.

🎃 Does your mortgage consultant ask how much you spend on groceries? Your cell phone bill? Or traveling to see family during the holidays?

Most mortgage conversations focus on income, credit, debt, and how much home you qualify for.

But qualifying for a mortgage and understanding how that mortgage fits into your life are two very different conversations.

Here’s why I ask questions that might seem unrelated to buying a home.

Your everyday spending tells me something important about your cash flow, lifestyle, and financial priorities.

And when I understand those things, we can explore strategies that go beyond simply finding a competitive interest rate.

🏡 What if the way you structured your mortgage could help you manage cash flow more effectively?

💰 What if you could reduce interest costs while maintaining access to money for other opportunities?

📈 What if your mortgage became part of your broader financial strategy instead of simply another monthly payment?

The goal isn’t just to help you buy a home. It’s to understand how your home fits into the life and financial future you’re building.

Sometimes the smallest details lead to the biggest opportunities.

Don’t just build equity. Build options.

🍂 Fall into homeownership. Your next chapter might be closer than you think.

Sometimes the biggest obstacle to buying a home isn’t affordability. It’s knowing what options are available and how to put them together.

From down payment assistance and builder incentives to creative financing strategies, there may be opportunities you haven’t considered.

And the bigger picture isn’t just about getting into a home. It’s about making sure your mortgage fits your financial goals, protects your flexibility, and positions you for what’s next.

The right home matters. So does the right financial strategy.

Whether you’re buying your first home, moving up, or exploring new construction, let’s look beyond the interest rate and find the approach that makes sense for you.

🍂 October is Financial Planning Month.

A good financial plan isn’t just about how much you earn or save. It’s about how everything works together.

Your cash flow. Your investments. Your debt. Your real estate. And the opportunities you want to create for the future.

As you give your finances a fall refresh, here’s something worth considering:

Is your mortgage simply a monthly expense, or could it be part of your broader financial strategy?

For the right homeowner, how you structure your mortgage can make a meaningful difference in managing cash flow, preserving liquidity, reducing interest costs, and creating more financial flexibility.

Sometimes building wealth isn’t just about accumulating assets. It’s about making smarter decisions with the assets and resources you already have.

Don’t just build equity. Build options.

📊 THE BIGGER PICTURE | WEEKLY MARKET UPDATE

MORTGAGE RATES ARE VOLATILE. DENVER INVENTORY IS UP. AND BUYERS HAVE MORE OPTIONS.

🏦 THE FED & MORTGAGE RATES

Inflation, economic uncertainty, and global bond markets continue to influence mortgage rates.

Here’s what matters: The Fed doesn’t directly control mortgage rates. Even when expectations for Fed policy change, mortgage rates can move in a different direction.

📍 THE DENVER PERSPECTIVE

September pending home sales fell 13% compared with last year, according to REcolorado.

Higher financing costs can affect buyer confidence, making pricing, seller incentives, and mortgage strategy increasingly important.

🏡 HOUSING MARKET

National home prices were up 1.8% annually in August, according to Cotality.

Denver tells a different story.

September’s median closed price was $575,000, approximately 2% below last year.

With over 13,500 active listings, buyers have more choices and potentially more negotiating opportunities.

📈 THE BOND MARKET

Global bond-market volatility continues to influence U.S. mortgage pricing.

Whether you’re buying in Denver, Aurora, Parker, or Castle Rock, these national developments can directly affect your financing options.

💡 THE BIGGER PICTURE

The national average 30-year fixed mortgage rate finished Friday at 7.48%, according to Mortgage News Daily.

Builders in communities like The Aurora Highlands and HARDIN FARMS | ARVADA, CO are offering compelling incentives.

But there are also mortgage strategies outside traditional builder incentives that can be competitive while offering a different approach to managing cash flow, liquidity, investments, and mortgage debt.

The goal isn’t simply to find the lowest advertised rate.

It’s to understand how your mortgage fits into your bigger financial picture.

Your Mortgage Can Do More.

A picture I took of my son at The Aurora Highlands. The sunsets and view of the mountains here is something you have to experience.

What if the ability to see beyond what exists today is the very thing that makes tomorrow’s possibilities a reality?

Belief creates the willingness to do things other people won't do, endure discomfort, develop discipline, and keep going when results haven't appeared.

Vision is seeing something before the evidence exists. Faith is believing it’s possible. Action is what brings it to life.

And maybe the bigger picture isn’t just about achieving what once seemed impossible. It’s about who you become along the way.

Buying a home comes with enough expenses upfront. Your first year of payments doesn’t have to add quite as much pressure. 🏡

With Rate Break, CMG covers a temporary buydown that bases your principal and interest payment on a rate 0.50% below your note rate for the first 12 payments.

You still qualify using the full note rate, and on eligible fixed-rate loans, a seller may be able to contribute additional funds toward an even larger temporary buydown.

It’s another example of why the conversation shouldn’t only be, “What’s the rate?”

Sometimes the better question is: How can we structure the financing around what you’re trying to accomplish?

JOBS SLOWED. INFLATION COOLED. HOME PRICES KEPT GROWING.

This was a big week for economic data, especially jobs and inflation.

The September Jobs Report showed the economy added just 29,000 jobs, well below expectations, while unemployment moved from 4.1% to 4.2%.

ADP showed private employers added 90,000 jobs, but job openings also came in below expectations at 7.08 million.

Why does all of this matter?

The labor market is one of the biggest things the Federal Reserve is watching right now. A continued slowdown in hiring could give the Fed more room to lower rates, especially if inflation continues moving in the right direction.

And we got some encouraging news there too.

The Fed's preferred inflation measure, PCE, came in cooler than expected. Annual headline inflation was 3.4% versus the 3.7% forecast, while core inflation was 3.0% versus 3.3% expected.

So we had softer employment AND cooler than expected inflation.

Both are important pieces of the puzzle for where rates could go next.

Housing was also interesting.

Case Shiller showed home prices increased nearly 3% from March through July, even with mortgage rates rising during part of that period.

That's an important reminder that housing doesn't move based on one national number. Rates matter, but so do inventory, location, demand, price point and financing strategy.

That's especially true in new construction communities like The Aurora Highlands and Hardin Farms.

Builders are offering some compelling financing incentives right now. But there are also mortgage strategies available outside of those traditional incentives that can be competitive with both builder offers and today’s market rates, while providing a completely different way to manage cash flow, liquidity, investments and mortgage debt.

The Bigger Picture isn't just the house.

It's how the house fits into everything else you're building.

Your next buyer may not start their home search on Zillow or Google.

They may ask AI:

“Find me a 4-bedroom home in a great school district with a payment around $4,000.”

The question for builders and real estate agents is becoming:

Will your home show up?

Bank of America found that 1 in 5 prospective buyers and current homeowners used AI for homebuying research in the past year. Among prospective buyers using AI, 57% researched affordability, mortgage payments or closing costs.

That creates a new opportunity.

I’m working with builders and agents on ways to make their homes, financing options and payment information easier for both traditional search and AI-driven search to find and understand.

This isn't about changing how you list your homes. It’s about building the infrastructure around what you're already doing so your properties have a better opportunity to be discovered.

If you're a builder or agent and want to explore this with me, send me a message.
