Did you see headlines saying that home sales are down? If that made you question if it’s still a good time to sell your house, here’s some perspective for you.

Sure, sales have slowed compared to the frenzy of a few years ago. But that doesn’t mean the market’s at a standstill.

Over 11K homes are still selling every single day – not including new construction. That’s 460 an hour. Or roughly 8 each minute.

Serious buyers are still out there. Let’s make sure they see your house.

The market is shifting, and sellers who aren’t up to date are falling behind. But you don’t have to be one of them.

Today, nearly 1 in 5 homeowners are reducing their asking price to try to draw buyers back in. And that’s what happens when homes are priced based on last year’s headlines, not this year’s reality.

Because, in today’s market, if your asking price isn’t compelling, it’s not selling.

But homes priced right are still selling – and for top dollar – they just need a local agent’s expertise to hit that perfect number.

Let’s talk about what’s happening in your neighborhood, even if you’re not ready to sell today. This way, you’re always in the know when the timing is right for you.

Did you know: only 3 in 10 Veterans know they may be able to buy a home with zero down payment? But that’s a very real possibility if they use a Veterans Affairs (VA) home loan.

That means the majority are missing out on one of the most powerful homebuying benefits out there.

If you’re a Veteran or know one, get in touch with a trusted lender for more information on VA loan options and what you may qualify for.

Home prices holding steady!

Do you think the housing market is about to crash? The experts (and the data) say otherwise.
Home prices are still rising at the national level, just not as fast as they were in recent years. And that’s not a sign of a crash. It’s a sign of more balance.
As more homes hit the market, buyers have more options, and that slows down how quickly prices rise. It’s not falling prices. It’s a healthier pace of home price growth.
How does knowing prices are still rising, but more slowly, affect the way you’re thinking about your next move?
