The cost of homeownership: 1990 vs. 2025 🏠📉
Incomes grew by 174%, but home prices skyrocketed by 331%.
The result? It now takes almost 10 years to save a down payment (up from 3 years), and the age of a first-time buyer jumped from 30 to 40. If it feels harder to buy a home today, it’s because it is.

A throw back. 3 seasons, 3 championships. What a run these boys had! But all good things come to an end, and now it’s off to new pastures!

When you get that Clear-to-Close

01/12/2026

Most people wait until their lease is almost over to think about buying. That’s when everything feels rushed and stressful.

Buying a home takes time, and the smoothest purchases start with preparation - not listings.
When you handle the financial side first, decisions feel easier and more confident. You move with a plan, not pressure.

If 2026 is your year to buy, starting now gives you options later.

Let’s connect and I’ll walk you through your next steps using real numbers that make sense for you.

A lot of buyers are quietly doing more than one thing to make life work.

A main job.
A second job.
A side hustle that fills the gap.

And the big question always comes up: Can both incomes actually count?

Short answer: yes.
But only when it’s consistent and sustainable.

Your primary job will always carry the most weight.
A second income can count if it shows a steady pattern over time, typically two years, and doesn’t look temporary or forced.

If you’re not there yet, it doesn’t mean stop dreaming.
It means shift the focus. Credit strength. Savings. A smarter timeline.

Buying isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about lining things up the right way.

’Tis the season for spending… but what if this year, you gave yourself the gift of a smaller mortgage payment? 🎁
While everyone’s wrapping gifts, here’s how to wrap up real savings that could cut your monthly payment — no magic required:
💰 1. Refinance to a lower rate�Even half a percent matters. If you bought when rates were higher, check your current rate — refinancing a $400K loan from 7% to 6.5% could save you roughly $130/month.
🏠 2. Remove PMI once you hit 20% equity�If your home value’s gone up, you might qualify to drop private mortgage insurance — that’s $150–$300/month in instant savings.
📅 3. Switch to biweekly payments�It’s not about paying more — it’s about paying smarter. Two half-payments every two weeks means 26 payments a year — that’s one full extra payment snuck in, helping you pay off your loan years faster.
🧾 4. Shop around for better homeowners insurance�Most people renew without checking. Compare quotes from at least three insurers — bundle with auto, raise your deductible a bit, or ask your agent about loyalty and safety discounts. You might save $500+ a year with one phone call.
