Knowing what’s ahead for the rest of the year is key to your success, whether you’re planning to buy, sell, or just stay informed. And that’s why you need an expert who will keep sharing these market updates with you.

So, what do the latest forecasts show? Mortgage rates will likely settle in the mid-6s for the rest of 2025. And that’s not terribly different from where we are now. So, don’t expect a big drop in rates.

But, keeping an eye on factors like inflation that can influence where mortgage rates move is key. And that’s why you have a pro on your side.

If your plans are changing, don’t wait on a rate that may not come. Let’s have a conversation, so you can see what’s possible in today’s market.

The U.S. Foreclosure Map You Need To See

Recent headlines may not tell the whole story, but the data does. Foreclosure activity remains low by historical standards and is not a sign of another crash.

If you’re simply watching the market and want to understand what’s really going on, or how this impacts the value of your home, let’s connect. I’ll help you separate fact from fear by showing you what the data really says.

Foreclosure headlines are making noise again – and they’re designed to stir up fear to get you to read them.

Despite what you may be hearing in the headlines, experts agree home prices are still projected to rise overall in 2025 – just at a slower pace than we’ve seen recently.

On average, forecasters say it’ll be about a 1.5-2% increase nationwide this year.

While some markets are seeing prices level off or dip slightly right now, a dramatic drop across the board isn’t expected. Prices may even be what some would argue as closer to flat by the end of this year.

But context matters, and what you should always keep in mind is, nationally, prices are up 55% compared to just 5 years ago. So, some slight declines don’t drastically change the game.

But every market is different. So, let’s talk about what prices are doing in our area and what that means for your plans.
