Wondering what's happening in the housing market this year?

The latest 2026 housing forecast shows mortgage rates are expected to remain elevated, inventory is still limited, and home prices are projected to continue appreciating. 📈 While some buyers are waiting for the "perfect" market, home values are still expected to rise, which could make waiting more expensive in the long run.

The good news? Homeownership is still possible with the right strategy, loan program, and guidance. As your mortgage lender, my job is to help you understand today's market and create a plan that works for your goals, not the headlines. 💙📲 Thinking about buying this year? Let's connect and discuss your options.

If you base your home buying decision on what others are telling you or what the media is saying, you may not be setting yourself up for success.

Buying a home should be based on when YOU are ready. Ready mentally for the responsibility AND financially.

Let’s get together and get started on YOUR plan.

Thinking about buying a new construction home? You may have more negotiating power than you realize. With 60% of builders currently offering incentives to attract buyers, now could be a great time to explore your options. From mortgage rate buydowns and closing cost assistance to upgraded finishes and even price reductions, these incentives can help make homeownership more affordable and stretch your budget further.

Every builder and community is different, which is why having a lender on your side can help you understand how these incentives impact your monthly payment and overall savings. Ready to see what's available in your area? Send me a message and let's explore your opportunities! ✨

This weekend was filled with summer sun, summer sports and a whole lot of summer fun.

Jaxon had a baseball tournament for his Hit Machine team. We held played great defense our first game but came up just shy of a win. Our second game the team kicked it into gear and we won that game and what a way to end the day. Sunday we were back at the ball field but unfortunately didn’t have the game we were hoping to have. Lots of lessons to be learned on and off of the baseball diamond for sure. It was great to see Jax show his skills behind the plate catching and we were able to see him play Second Base, Short Stop and Pitcher too. We just LOVE watching him play and seeing his hard work paying off.

Olivia was having fun with some friends at a grass volleyball camp/scrimmage. Lots of different rules to adjust to versus the volleyball played in the gym but she had a blast getting more touches and experiencing something new.

The Sheboygan South Football team had their annual fundraising golf tournament and I was happy to show my support. The weather was absolutely beautiful and from what I hear, great times were had by all.

Think you need a huge down payment to buy a home?

You may be surprised to learn that homeownership could be closer than you think. With the right loan program, many buyers can purchase a home with little to no money down. 💰

Programs like FHA financing, down payment assistance, gift funds, and eligible secondary financing options can help make buying a home more affordable than many people realize.

The biggest mistake I see? People waiting because they believe they need years to save a large down payment. The truth is, there may be options available right now that could help you move forward sooner. At New American Funding, we're here to help you explore your options, understand your buying power, and create a plan that works for your goals. ✨

This weekend kicked off with celebrations – Olivia’s last day of her Freshman year and Jaxon’s last day of his 7th grade year. I cannot believe how fast time is really flying. Jaxon received the Mic Drop Award from his 7th grade teacher team and it was wonderful to surprise him at that ceremony.

Olivia and Jax also kicked off the 2026 baseball season at The Sheboygan A’s baseball diamond. Jax will be executing his Bat Boy skills and Liv will be rounding up some of the fans for the in-between innings games. If you haven’t been to the ball park – what are you waiting for?

Jax and I also spent some time at the beach collecting sea glass, enjoying the pelicans and walking to the light house.

This summer is going to be a busy one with kids schedules and events and I cannot wait to make millions of memories.

How did you spend your weekend kicking off the beginning of Summer Vacay?
