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.

Big Investors Are Backing Off and That’s Your Opening
Big investors are stepping back, and they're adding homes to the market as they go. If you've been waiting for a better shot at buying, this could be it. Let’s connect so you can see what's popping up in our area. You may have more options than you think.
Big Investors Are Backing Off and That’s Your Opening For years, a lot of would-be homebuyers have worried about the same thing. How do you compete with big investors who can swoop in, pay cash, and snap up the houses you want?
Don’t Try To Time the Housing Market
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.

Buying and selling at the same time and not sure where to start?
With houses staying on the market a little longer these days, selling first could be the right move. It keeps you from juggling two mortgages while you wait for your house to sell.
You’ll also know exactly how much equity you’re walking away with (probably more than you think), and you can put it straight toward your next home.
Not sure where you’d stay in between? That part’s manageable with the right plan.
Let’s talk through the pros and cons. We’ll figure out what makes the most sense for you – and how to make the whole process as stress-free as possible.

71% of homeowners say their insurance costs have gone up over the past few years.
And if you're buying a home, that's worth knowing – but it shouldn't scare you away from your plans.
Yes, affordability is still tight. But you can't control every cost that comes with buying a home. You can only control how prepared you are.
And in a market like this, one of the smartest things you can do is get an insurance quote before you make an offer. It'll give you a clearer picture of what your monthly housing costs will look like, help you build a more realistic budget, and keep you from being surprised after closing.
Buying a home is a big decision. The more you know before you buy, the more confident you'll feel when it's time to make your move.

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.

You have a serious edge if you’re selling a luxury house right now.
Sale prices for luxury homes have gone up about three times faster than the rest of the housing market.
That’s because buyer demand is surprisingly strong for high-end homes. So, while most tiers are cooling off, luxury stayed hot this Summer.
And that means you’re in a good position to get the most possible from your sale.
Ready to cash out at the top? Let’s talk strategy.
