Job gains should bring more buyers into the market, especially if mortgage rates stabilize or decline, though that impact takes time to show up. Right now, pending contracts are 30% below their pre-pandemic 2019 level, while payroll employment is 5% above.

That gap points to sizable pent-up demand that should be unleashed in the coming years as more supply reaches the market and affordability improves.”

Payroll employment is up at least 10% from pre-pandemic levels in eight states—well above the national growth rate and Utah is in second place only below the joining state, Idaho.

Signs of Market Cooling

The latest HMI survey also revealed that 37% of builders cut prices in July, up from 35% in June and 32% in May. The average price reduction was 6% in July, the same rate as the previous month.

The use of sales incentives was 63% in July, up slightly from 62% in June, and marking the 16th consecutive month this share has reached 60% or higher.

New builds are worth exploring and we can help you connect with the right builder that will meet your budget and needs.

Think big investors are snapping up all the homes? The data says otherwise.

The largest institutional investors are now selling more homes than they're buying – and the gap is growing every quarter.

That means those homes are going back on the market for regular buyers. And since big investors tend to own lower-priced homes, a lot of them are right in the range first-time buyers want.

Less competition. More options for you.

DM me and I'll show you what's hitting the market in our area.

Torn between buying a home now or holding out for the perfect moment? Trying to time the market rarely works. Rates, prices, inflation… These variables are all beyond your control. So, if you want or need to move, focus on your numbers instead. Because… “Ultimately, whether it’s a good time to buy comes down to your personal financial readiness.” If the math works, you can move. It’s that simple. Let’s chat if you want help thinking it over. No pressure, just perspective.

A lot of buyers are waiting because they think mortgage rates will drop dramatically.

The problem? That's not what today's forecasts say is going to happen.

Experts believe mortgage rates will actually stay in the mid to low 6s through 2027 due to a number of factors – including inflation.

What’s that tell me? Waiting may not pay off the way you hope it will.

So, if moving is important to you, I want you to know waiting isn’t your only option.

Builder incentives, adjustable-rate mortgages, assumable mortgages, and rate buydowns are just a few of the strategies worth exploring that could help with affordability right now.

I’m not saying you have to buy today, but you should at least know your options. Let's talk about what could work for you.

Stuck deciding between buying a home now and holding out for the “perfect” mortgage rate?

The truth is, trying to time the market rarely works. Home prices, mortgage rates, and inflation are all outside your control.

And if you wait for all of them to line up just right, you may be waiting a long time.

My advice? If you want or need to move, look at your own numbers instead.

Because whether it's a good time to buy really comes down to your financial situation.

Can you afford the monthly payment?

Do you have enough money left over as a safety net?

What about for repairs?

It’s not a bad time to buy if the math makes sense for you. And that’s true no matter what you’re hearing about the market right now.

Connect with a trusted lender to run the numbers, then let’s chat.

Did home prices just hit a turning point?

Even though all the headlines out there make it sound like prices are crashing, here’s what the data really says.

Yes, price growth cooled from around 7% in mid-2024 to closer to 3% today. But that’s not a crash. It’s just a slowdown.

And if you look at the right side of this graph, it seems like price growth may have hit its low point and started to turn.

Now, two months of data doesn’t necessarily make a trend. But a few things back this up.

Compared to earlier this year, fewer markets are seeing price declines right now. And, forecasts call for price growth to pick up a bit before end of year.

Whether you’re buying or selling, I want you to have breaking info like this as soon as I have it – especially when it looks like something is changing.

DM me "PRICES" and I'll show you exactly what home prices are doing in our local market and what that means for you.

Putting off selling because it feels like the market’s at a standstill and no one’s buying right now?

Sure, the pace has cooled in some areas recently. But houses are still selling all the time. In fact, more than 4 million will sell this year.

Do a little math, and that works out to over 11k sold every day, almost 470 an hour, and about eight every minute.

So, don’t count your house out. Another home just sold as you were reading this – let’s make the next one yours.
