When a seller is motivated, they're often open to more than just a price reduction. They may negotiate on closing costs. They may consider funding a rate buydown, which could lower your interest rate for the first one to three years of your loan. They may work with you on your timeline.
Seven consecutive months of falling asking prices nationally, means this isn't a blip. Sellers in this segment have been sitting longer than they expected. That's leverage for a prepared buyer.

The buyers winning right now aren't just finding the right home. They're structuring the right deal. DM me and let's talk about what that looks like.

You've been lied to about the housing market. Here's what the data actually shows. 👇

Everyone keeps saying now is the worst time to buy. But the numbers tell a completely different story.

"There's nothing in my price range."
Entry-level home inventory rose 4.5% year over year in June while luxury inventory fell 5.2%. More affordable homes are available right now — and fewer people are competing for them. Source : July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ New Zillow® data "Sellers are overpriced and won't budge."

Asking prices have dropped for nine consecutive months nationally. One in four sellers cut their price in June before a buyer even made an offer. Sellers are more open to negotiating on price, closing costs, and terms than they've been in years — and Movement offers buydown options that sellers can fund as part of the deal to lower your payment early on. Source: Realtor.com, research. July-2026-data.

"I'll lose to investors every time."
Large corporate investors have largely stepped back after new federal rules restricted them from buying existing housing stock. Today 96% of investor-owned single-family homes belong to small individual investors. The playing field has shifted in your favor. Source: BatchData, Q2 2025 Investor Pulse.

"Rates make it unaffordable."
Household incomes grew 4.6% last year while the median monthly mortgage payment actually fell slightly. A mortgage takes up a smaller share of take-home pay than it did a year ago. And with down payment assistance available, you may not need as much saved as you think.

The path to homeownership looks different for everyone. Some borrowers have straightforward finances. Others own businesses, work independently, invest in real estate, or have income that fluctuates from month to month. Different financial situations can require different lending solutions.

National housing headlines don't always tell the whole story.

According to Zillow Research, starter-home inventory increased 4.5% year over year in June, while luxury-home inventory declined 5.2%.*

That could mean more options for some buyers searching at lower price points. Zillow also found that price cuts were more common among starter homes, with 25% of listings receiving a price cut in June. Market conditions can vary significantly by location, so what's happening nationally may look very different in your area.

Worried you can’t afford to buy a home? Before you decide, take a look at what you’re already spending on rent. You might be closer to homeownership than you think. Let's see what your options look like.

The reason most people don't grow their investment portfolio isn't opportunity, it's capital. Every dollar tied up in a down payment is a dollar that can't go toward the next deal. Investor Plus was built for exactly that problem. As little as 10% down on an investment property, no mortgage insurance on single units, short-term rental eligible.

If you've been waiting until you have enough, let's figure out what enough actually looks like. DM me.
