Are Home Prices Dropping? Here’s the Real Story.

 


You’ve probably seen posts on social media talking about how “home prices are falling.” And when you see something like that, it’s normal to wonder:
Is this the start of a crash?
What does this mean for my house?
Let’s clear this up right away. This is not a crash. And your home is not suddenly losing a lot of value.
The National Story – Prices Are Still Going Up
Here’s what often gets left out of what you’re seeing online. While some markets are experiencing slight declines, they’re the minority. Most places are still seeing prices rise or at the very least, hold steady.
That’s why, at the national level, home prices are still rising, just at a slower pace. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR):
“Home prices continued to rise in the fourth quarter of 2025. National median prices rose 1.2% year over year to $414,900.”
That’s not the rapid g ...

The Majority of Builders Are Offering Buyer Incentives

 


Homebuilders are in deal mode right now. Here’s why. There are more new builds on the market than usual. Now, this doesn’t mean builders are overbuilding. But it does mean they're motivated to sell their current inventory before they build more – and that’s good for buyers like you. It’s why the majority are offering incentives like rate buydowns, closing cost credits, and free upgrades. And roughly one-third are even cutting prices. The opportunity to get a good deal is there. You just need a partner to help you make the most of it. DM me if you want to know which builders are offering the best incentives in our area. #NewConstruction #Homebuilders #KeepingCurrentMatters

Top Mistakes Homeowners Are Making in 2026 (And How To Avoid Them)

 


Let’s be clear: selling your house is absolutely possible right now. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), roughly 11k homes sell every day in this country.
And the sellers who are making their moves happen all have one thing in common: they’ve adjusted their strategy to match today’s market. They’re realizing inventory has grown. Homebuyers are more selective. And buyer expectations are higher.
The sellers who struggle are usually approaching today’s market with yesterday’s expectations. Here are the three biggest mistakes they're making – and how to avoid them.
1. Pricing Based on What Their Neighbor Got a Few Years Back
Setting your price is the most important decision you make when you sell – and the one that’s most often mishandled. Realtor.com data shows almost 1 out of 5 sellers in 2025 had to drop their price. Here’s what t ...

The Price You Set Can Make (or Break) Your Sale

 


There’s one decision you're going to make when you sell that determines whether your house sells quickly, or it sits. Whether buyers make an offer, or scroll past it. Whether you walk away with the maximum return, or you end up cutting the price later.
And that’s your asking price.
The #1 Mistake Sellers Make Today: Trusting the Wrong Number
If you’re thinking of moving and trying to figure out what your house may sell for, it’s tempting to start with an online home value tool. They’re fast, free, and easy. And you don’t have to talk to anyone. But here’s the problem: they don’t know your house.
And that can be a bigger drawback than you realize.
Where Online Estimates Fall Short 
Online tools often lag behind the market. They look in the rearview mirror, relying on closed sales and delayed information. And in that sense, they’re using incomplete data.
That’s not a miss in how these sys ...

Do You Know What Your House Is Really Worth

 
If there’s one number you should know as a homeowner, it’s how much your house is worth. Not your mortgage rate. Not the price you paid. What it’s valued at right now. Because home values jumped nearly 50% over the last five years, and if I were you, I’d want to know what that means for my house. If you want a free, no-pressure home value estimate, let’s connect. #HomeValues #HomeValueUpdate #KeepingCurrentMatters ...
