Experts project mortgage rates will come down slightly, which should lead more buyers and sellers to move. And that’ll create a moderate increase in sales as activity ticks up. It’ll also likely push prices up a little bit nationwide, though price changes will vary by location.

Price Reduction
As inventory grows, the market is starting to balance out a bit. But don’t worry – this isn’t close to an oversupply that would cause a crash.
It just means buyers are regaining negotiation power as their options grow. And sellers need to price their house right and may want to consider some repairs to help it stand out.
Let’s connect to talk more about how this impacts you.
Wondering if the election is going to have an impact on the housing market? Here’s your answer. Usually, it only has a small and temporary effect.
Sales usually slowdown briefly, but rebound fast.
Prices tend to stay on their current trajectory for your market.
And mortgage rates often trend down in the months leading up to the election.
DM me if you want to learn more.
Mortgage rates are declining. And that may make you wonder if it’s time to jump back into the market.
While they’re not going back to pandemic lows, experts say rates could continue to drop as long as inflation eases.
So, what number do you want to see rates hit before you’re ready to move? Drop it in a comment below. And I’ll be the first to let you know when we get there.
What Mortgage Rate Are You Waiting For?
You won’t find anyone who’s going to argue that mortgage rates have had a big impact on housing affordability over the past couple of years. But there is hope on the horizon. Rates have actually started to come down.
Expert Projections for Mortgage Rates
Experts say the overall downward trend should continue as long as inflation and the economy keeps cooling. But as new reports come out on those key indicators, there’s going to be some volatility here and there.
What you need to remember is it’s not wise to let those blips distract you from the larger trend. Rates are still down roughly a full percentage point from the recent peak compared to May.
Know Your Number for Mortgage Rates
So, what does this mean for you and your plans to move? If you’ve been holding out and waiting for rates to come down, know that it’s already...

Did you know? The supply of homes for sale has grown significantly this year.
Here’s what that growth means:
More options for your move
More negotiation power for you
More likely sellers will make some repairs
More moderate price growth
DM me if you want to talk more about how this benefits you when you buy a home.
Want to know the top mistakes sellers are making today? It’s overpricing their house.
A price that’s too high is going to cost you. It turns buyers away and may mean you need a price drop to re-ignite interest in the home.
To make sure you don’t end up making this mistake, DM me, and let’s price it right from the start.
Not all agents are the same. When you’re making a move, you want to be sure you have a great agent by your side.

Today’s Biggest Housing Market Myths
Have you ever heard the phrase: don’t believe everything you hear? There’s a lot of misinformation out there. And right now, making sure you have someone you can go to for trustworthy information is extra important.
1. I’ll Get a Better Deal Once Prices Crash
If you’ve heard home prices are going to come crashing down, it’s time to look at what’s actually happening. While prices vary by local market, there’s a lot of data out there from numerous sources that shows a crash is not going to happen. So, if you think waiting will score you a deal, know that data shows there’s not a crash on the horizon, and waiting isn’t going to pay off the way you’d hoped.

How To Choose a Great Local Real Estate Agent
Selecting the right real estate agent can make a world of difference when buying or selling a home. But how do you find the best one? Here are some tips to help you make that big decision as you determine your partner in the process.
Check Their Reputation
Start by gathering information about agents in your area. From there, try to narrow down the list. Ask the people you trust if they have someone they’d recommend. You’ll want to find an agent with a strong online presence, plenty of positive reviews, and someone whose great reputation truly precedes them.
Look for Local Market Expertise
A great agent should have in-depth knowledge of what’s happening at the national and local level. That way they can clear up any misconceptions sparked by what you’re reading or hearing in the news.

What Credit Score Do You Really Need To Buy a House?
When you're thinking about buying a home, your credit score is one of the biggest pieces of the puzzle. Think of it like your financial report card that lenders look at when trying to figure out if you qualify, and which home loan will work best for you. As the Mortgage Report says:
"Good credit scores communicate to lenders that you have a track record for properly managing your debts. For this reason, the higher your score, the better your chances of qualifying for a mortgage."
The trouble is most buyers overestimate the minimum credit score they need to buy a home. According to a report from Fannie Mae, only 32% of consumers have a good idea of what lenders require. That means nearly 2 out of every 3 people don’t.
So, here’s a general ballpark to give you a rough idea. Experian says:
“The minimum credit score needed to buy...
What Credit Score Do You Really Need To Buy a House? When you're thinking about buying a home, your credit score is one of the biggest pieces of the puzzle.
If you’re thinking about buying a home, there are 3 reasons you may want to make your move this fall.
1) Inventory is growing, giving you more options
2) Newly built homes may be more budget-friendly than you’d expect
3) Mortgage rates have come down from their peak last October

The Great Wealth Transfer: A New Era of Opportunity
In recent years, there’s been a significant shift in how wealth is distributed among generations. It’s called the Great Wealth Transfer.
Basically, as more Baby Boomers retire, sell businesses, or downsize their homes, more substantial assets are being passed down to younger generations. And this creates a powerful ripple effect that’ll continue over the next few decades.
Impact on the Housing Market
One of the most immediate effects of this wealth transfer is on the housing market. Home affordability has been a concern for many aspiring buyers, especially in high-demand areas. The increase in generational wealth is expected to ease some of these challenges by providing future homeowners with greater financial resources. As assets are passed down through generations, buyers may find themselves in a better position to...

Is Affordability Starting To Improve?
Over the past couple of years, a lot of people have had a hard time buying a home. And while affordability is still tight, there are signs it's getting a little better and might keep improving throughout the rest of the year. Here’s a look at the latest data on the three biggest factors affecting home affordability.
1. Mortgage Rates
Mortgage rates have been volatile this year, bouncing around from the mid 6% to low 7% range. But there's some good news. Data from Freddie Mac shows rates have been trending down overall since May. When rates decline, it's easier to afford the home you want because your monthly payment will be lower. Just don’t expect them to go back down to 3%.
2. Home Prices
The second big thing to think about is home prices. Nationally, they’re still going up this year, but not as fast as they did a couple of...
Is Affordability Starting To Improve? Over the past couple of years, a lot of people have had a hard time buying a home.
Affordability has been a challenge for a while now.
There are three main factors that impact it: mortgage rates, home prices, and wages.
Here’s the good news. There are early signs that all three are starting to improve. Mortgage rates are coming down, home price growth is moderating, and wages are going up.

Where Will You Go After You Sell?
If you’re planning to sell your house and move, you probably know there’s been a shortage of options available. But here’s the good news: the supply of homes for sale has grown in a lot of markets this year – and that’s not just existing, or previously-owned, homes. It’s true for newly built homes too.
So how do you decide which route to go? The choice is yours – you just need to figure out what’s most important to you.
Here are some benefits of buying a newly built home right now:
>>Have brand new everything with never-been-used appliances and materials
>>Use energy efficient options to save money and leave a smaller footprint
>>Minimize the need for repairs and benefit from builder warranties
>>Take advantage of builder concessions that can help with affordability
