What are homeowners saying in 2026?

$695K for THIS in Compton?! 👀🏚️

Looking through this listing in real time and, based on what I’m seeing, I’m struggling to understand the price.

Yes, it’s a tough market, but buyers still have to buy smart.

Don’t just ask, “Can I afford it?” Ask: “Is this home worth this price for me and my family?”

At $695K, this one wouldn’t make sense to me.

What y’all think, $695K or nah? 👀😂

🏡 WANT TO BUY A HOME IN THE NEXT 6 MONTHS? HERE’S THE GAME PLAN:

MONTH 1: KNOW YOUR NUMBERS
Pull your credit, review income/debts, document your savings, and determine your comfortable payment — not just what you can get approved for.

MONTH 2: BUILD THE STRATEGY
Set your target price, compare FHA/Conventional/assistance options, estimate cash to close, and identify any debts or credit issues that actually need attention.

MONTH 3: PRACTICE THE PAYMENT
If your homebuying funds are already saved, leave them alone.

Paying $2,500 in rent but expecting a $4,000 mortgage? Start putting that $1,500 difference into savings every month.

Getting approved for a payment and being comfortable making it are two different things.

MONTH 4: PROTECT YOUR POSITION
🚫 No new car loans
🚫 No unnecessary credit
🚫 No financing furniture or major purchases
Keep your credit, income, assets and debts stable.

MONTH 5: GET PURCHASE READY
Update your documents, recheck your buying power, connect with your Realtor, narrow down your areas, and start watching homes in your actual price range.

MONTH 6: GET APPROVED & GO SHOPPING 🔑
Complete your pre-approval, confirm your cash to close and payment, and start making serious offers.

The goal isn’t to spend 6 months hoping you’re ready.

It’s to spend 6 months proving you’re ready.

💰 Money saved
📈 Credit positioned
🏠 Payment practiced
📄 Documents ready
🔑 Financing understood

Comment “6 MONTHS” if buying a home is one of your goals and you want a game plan.

The hardest part of buying a home isn’t always the down payment, it’s knowing which path makes sense for you.
Save this if homeownership is your Goal 📌

For a quick example:
    •    FHA may require as little as 3.5% down
    •    Conventional financing is primarily  5% down
    •    Other possibilities may include down payment assistance, retirement funds, gift funds, or money from a qualifying settlement

But the percentage is only the beginning.
You also have to consider closing costs, reserves, credit, debt-to-income ratio, income stability, the area you want to live in, and how much you can realistically save each month.

If you need $29,000 and can save $1,500 monthly, that’s about 19 months, before life happens. A car repair, kids’ expenses, emergencies, and everyday costs can change the timeline quickly.

That’s why the first step isn’t always looking at houses. Sometimes it’s creating a plan.
Whether you want to buy in 30 days or 3 years, education and time can make the difference between “not yet” and “approved.”

$1.3 MILLION in Yucaipa… and I’m not seeing it. 😅🏡

I toured this home expecting the price tag to make sense once I walked through the door.

It didn’t.

Don’t get me wrong, the home is nice. It has upgraded finishes, a pool, and it shows well.

But for $1.3 MILLION?!

I’m expecting something that separates this house from everything else around it.

A massive lot.
A crazy view.
High-end custom features.
More usable outdoor space.
Something.

Instead, most of what stood out were upgraded finishes and the pool. And according to the information I reviewed, the pool itself was only contributing around $125K in value.

And maybe it’s because I’m a Loan Officer, but when I walk through a house, I’m not just looking at the purchase price, I’m thinking about the monthly payment that comes with it.

When I think about the payment somebody would be taking on for a $1.3M home, what I saw just didn’t justify it in my opinion.

Because there’s a difference between:

“This is a nice house.”

and

“This house is worth that payment every single month.” 😂

For me, this one didn’t get there.

Would you pay $1.3M for this home in Yucaipa? 👀

I’m saying NO.

What do y’all think?

She said, “My son is looking to buy his first home,” and all I heard was, “Danny, start the car.” 😂🚗💨

Four years later, she still had my contact information (probably because I send 3 emails a week 😂😂😂) and trusted me to help the next generation of her family become homeowners.

That means more to me than just another transaction. My goal is to become your family’s loan officer, not just your loan officer for one purchase. 🏡 Do you want to own a home?
