California Dream For All

09/04/2026

The housing market is softening, buyers are gaining more leverage, and sellers are having to adjust but that doesn’t mean every home is automatically a deal.

In this week’s market update, I break down what I’m seeing in housing right now, including why some homes are still selling over asking while others are getting price reductions, what today’s jobs report could mean for mortgage rates, and why buyers should be looking for leverage instead of simply asking for a lower price.

California Dream For All vouchers are beginning to be issued again as the initial 90-day voucher period reaches expiration. Original voucher holders have the option to request one additional 90-day extension, but many did not. As those vouchers expire, we are now seeing meaningful movement on the waitlist.

Join this live update to understand what that may mean if you just received a voucher—or if you are still waiting—and how to prepare for the next step.

We will cover:
• What to do if a voucher arrives
• Why the first 90-day milestone matters
• Where additional voucher movement may come from
• How to get ready before you shop

🚨 Dream For All voucher holders: if you have not requested your extension yet, do it today.

Tomorrow, August 18th is Day 90 from the original voucher email, which means your voucher expires tomorrow if no extension is requested.

If you plan to use it, or you are even unsure, log into your CalHFA portal and request the extension now.

We cannot do it for you.

Waitlisted? This may create some movement.
Not selected? We may still have other options for you.

The housing market isn’t suddenly cheap, but several important trends are quietly moving in buyers’ favor.

This week, we’ll break down:

• Why more than 41% of listings have had a price reduction and why that means something different in every market
• How 4.6 months of housing supply can signal a healthier, more functional market
• Why home prices growing around 2% while wages grow 3.2% may help buyers regain lost ground
• How mortgage spreads are keeping rates from being even higher
• What the latest inflation data could mean for mortgage rates
• Where buyers may have negotiating leverage and how sellers should respond

Join me live with your housing, mortgage and real estate questions. We’ll separate the scary headlines from the information buyers and sellers can actually use.

🚨 Dream For All voucher holders, check your expiration date.

We’re getting very close to expiration for many of the Dream For All vouchers issued this year.

If you received a voucher and haven’t found a home yet, don’t ignore this. Log into your CalHFA Dream For All portal and make sure you request your extension before your voucher expires.

If you let it expire, you could lose your voucher.

And for everyone else who applied:

👉 On the waitlist? The next big opportunity will likely be around November, after original vouchers and extensions have had time to play out.

In the meantime, don't put your homeownership plans on hold. Continue preparing and exploring other programs that could help you buy sooner.

👉 Not selected? Dream For All is not your only path to buying a home. There may be other programs and loan options worth looking at.

If you’re not sure what your next move should be, reach out to us. We can look at your situation and see what other options may be available.

⚠️ Important Dream For All Update

If you have a Dream For All voucher, this is a video you need to watch. I explain how to protect your voucher by extending it, plus I share my latest thoughts on the waitlist and what I'm expecting over the next few months.

I've been hearing rumors that the waitlist has started moving in some areas, so I wanted to take a few minutes to explain what I'm seeing.

The short version is this... I don't think we're going to see much movement just yet.

This year was different because the state gave out more vouchers than they actually had funding for, which changes how the waitlist works compared to last time.

In my opinion, the first chance we'll see any meaningful movement is when vouchers start expiring later this year. I explain why, what to watch for, and what I think it means depending on where you are on the waitlist.

I know it's probably not the update everyone was hoping for, but I'd rather give you an honest perspective than get people's hopes up.

Most buyers ask:
“How much house can I afford?”

Wrong question.

The real question is:
“What payment fits my life?”

Just because you qualify for a payment…
doesn’t mean you’ll feel comfortable with it.

Buy the payment, not the price. 🏡

If you’re waiting on Dream For All results right now… this matters.

And honestly, even if you’re not selected or end up on the waitlist, this still applies.

Because whether you already have a pre-approval or you’re planning to buy soon, the last thing you want is to do something small that ends up costing you your approval.

I’ve seen it happen. Someone gets pre-approved, starts shopping, everything looks good and then right before closing, their credit gets pulled again and something changed.

Not on purpose. Just normal day-to-day decisions like opening a credit card, missing a payment or moving money around.

But it’s enough to change your rate, change your loan or delay everything.

This part of the process is where you want to be the most steady. No big financial changes. No new debt. No surprises.

If buying a home is important to you this year, protecting your credit and income right now is just as important as getting pre-approved in the first place.

Just be mindful 👍
