San Diego is the top producer of avocados, number three in honey production, number five in lemons, number nine in strawberries and ranked tenth in the number of egg-laying hens. We also grow a lot of guavas, pomegranates, limes, macadamias and more.

At daily San Diego farmers markets in neighborhoods throughout the county, you can sample fresh-from-the-farm produce from regional farmers and tasty treats from local artisans. Mingle with the locals and meet the farmers while you nibble on sweet, ripe fruit, listen to live music, stroll through colorful booths and experience San Diego's delicious lifestyle. At some markets, cooks whip up crepes, kettle corn, and tamales; vendors sell garlic-stuffed olives, olive oil, cheese and honey, all prepared locally.

At many farmers markets you'll also find local artisans selling everything from handmade soaps, jewelry, and art to textiles, pottery, photography and other crafted treasures.

These commercial and residential spaces can be used for a variety of business as well as living quarters. Some of the many live/work lofts Downtown are currently used as salons, cafes, food establishments, law firms, architectural offices, and real estate offices.

Over the years, that dream has certainly changed around quite a bit. The days of a white picket fence and big yard to calculate wealth coupled with a large square foot house like our parents owned, have passed. Many young people today are in favor of living in a downtown condo with small manageable floor plans, great views, lively atmosphere, fun places to easily walk to, and the benefit of a shorter commute to work. Whatever, your pleasure and preference, if you are bold enough to venture from suburbia and embrace the downtown condo life, these are some things to keep in mind in order to prepare yourself and your family for the lifestyle change...... dog walking downtown

Gardens If you have always loved working in your own garden and outdoor space, you might feel boxed in living with limited space in a condo. Gray urban gardens are a little bit different than plush green gardens. So, find a community garden where you can lease a plot to grow your own veggies, flowers, and fruits. In downtown San Diego, The Juniper Front Community Garden is the perfect choice- close by and beautiful! And, if you have always enjoyed sitting outside in your yard of Zen greenery, make sure that you frequently visit parks, etc. with lots of vegetation and bird sounds to keep your renewing connection to the natural environment. I can't stress enough how important this is. community garden

Kids Having children and living in downtown San Diego might spark you into thinking that it is not the ideal choice because you REALLY need a yard for them to play in immediately- one that only a house will supply. Not the case! The first year of having a baby can be isolating. Getting out with Jr. when living in a condo is easy- strap that baby up and walk out the door! You’ll run into your neighbors, other parents with their kids, etc. to keep you feeling connected. You’ll also be able to walk to Ralph’s grocery store, Jimbo’s, Lofty Coffee in Little Italy, great boutiques, etc. Your kid will also feel tired after the adventure and, hopefully take a nice long nap. Maybe your car will not even be driven for weeks. Life can be great with kids in downtown San Diego! And, the infrastructure is always being enhanced to cater to the downtown family unit. family walking in downtown

Dogs If you have a dog, find out where all of the off-leash dog parks are, the doggy daycare businesses, and get the names and numbers of your local dog walkers. Your dog will be thrilled to have so many doggie friends to see and poles to pee-over each day whilst on your morning and evening walks around the neighborhood. Your downtown living adventure will be fantastic and you’ll quickly discover that so many opportunities abound! What are your priorities? For many of us current downtown residents, being in a neighborhood with lots of friends, a great walk score, and easy access to everything fun and exciting is more important than a yard, a garden, and more space for lots of extra stuff that you don’t need anyway!

East Village, Downtown

Mark your calendars: March 7th, 2014 will launch the GRAND OPENING of a exciting new project in Downtown's East Village,unlike anything else: Quartyard San Diego.

Quartyard is an inspired city block located at 1102 Market Street, that has been completely transformed to a thought provoking social gathering space for mankind and canine companions alike...

What was once a desolate vacant lot, now is an outdoor venue for social gatherings on many levels. The 25,000 sq ft lot that resides on North side of Market Street between 11th Avenue and Park Boulevard is owned by the City Of San Diego, has been vacant for years, with the notion that this prime location will one day be developed into potentially a high-rise residential or commercial project. Developers are certainly looking at this lot as an opportunity in the future; however, the feasibility may or may not work to construct a profitable development project... yet.

Enter: RAD LAB- A forward thinking group of architects who recently graduated from the nearby New School of Architecture, who came up with a temporary use for the vacant lot, which has evolved into the fascinating concept of Quartyard: A eco-friendly community space with a much needed gated leash- free dog park, beer garden, coffee shop, restaurant, and music venue , with a rotating array of food trucks that will cater to the venue on a daily basis.

Designed with re-purposed shipping containers, Quartyard will be open 7 days a week and will host a multitude of cultural events from farmers markets to film festivals and outdoor concerts.

RAD LAB Founders, Phil Auchettl, David Lowenstein, and Jason Grauten envisioned a sustainable community gathering place that caters to the local residents and promotes many of the local vendors. RAD LAB proposed their idea for a interim use public park to the city and the East Village association and raised over $60,000 through a kickstarter program to make bring it to life. Now you can join in on the fun at the Quartyard Grand Opening Event on March 7th, 2015. Tickets can be purchased HERE.

East Village Dog Park

In addition to the many culinary offerings that will include S&M Sausage & Meat, Quartyard will be home to a 5,000 square foot dog park that will serve as an urban oasis for pups in downtown San Diego, providing some much needed off-leash recreation in the city.

East Village residents have been begging for a "leash free" dog park, and Quartyard is going to deliver!

Imagine a place where you can bring your pet, socialize over a carousel of eateries, and an incredible selection of craft beers and cocktails. I expect Quartyard to be a huge hit in one of the hottest up-and-coming neighborhoods on the West Coast: The East Village. Considering moving to the East Village?

Artisan Donuts-Downtown San Diego

As if I need any more motivation to hit the gym... A new temptation has hit the Downtown San Diego breakfast scene, and it is quickly becoming a phenomenon... San Diego's Donut Bar is a new spin on an old idea. Since it's Grand Opening in the Core District of Downtown at 631 B street, patrons have been lining out the door, to get their fill of some of these decadent creations.

San Diego's Donut Bar is no ordinary donut shop!

The Donut Bar has flavors that change daily, which really gives this modest establishment a gourmet, independent persona. some of the flavors that make their regular appearance range from creme brulee, bacon chocolate maple bars, Bourbon Infused Maple, Meyer lemon drizzled blueberry donuts, chocolate espresso, and strawberry cheesecake just name a few... Get there early because the Donut Bar typically sells out of donuts by 12:00 PM noon! I highly recommend that you stop by this fantastic new arrival in Downtown.

Downtown San Diego

The East Village: A neighborhood with vast diversity in culture, lifestyle, entertainment, and dining choices. In the latter category; The Village @ 631 has come into it's own as a local hot-spot for farm-to-fork cuisine, organically grown coffee and teas, and now craft beer and wines. The space was previously operated as Java Jones Coffee House, but was unable to survive among the larger big name coffee chains. The space did have a loyal following, but unfortunately not enough to keep the doors open. Since then, new owners have moved in, along with an incredibly expanded menu that is starting to draw much deserved attention to a great new neighborhood eatery and coffee house.

The Village @ 631- Fresh food and ideas, as diverse as the neighborhood in which it resides.

The Village @ 631 has a personality all of it's own, which has evolved dramatically over the past 12 months. Cynthia Hillman, the owner and visionary behind the Village @ 631, recruited a renown chef from the Lodge at Torrey Pines, breathing new life into the little neighborhood coffee shop. When entering, you immediately are drawn to its open and inviting atmosphere. The space is tastefully decorated, complimenting the industrial brick walls and exposed beam character of the building. The Menu at the Village @ 631 focuses on Breakfast and Lunch. All breakfast entrees include seasonal fresh fruit, and range from creative omlettes and scrambles, to quiches and health conscious dishes. The breakfast menu is ever-changing, and will often include chef's specials, served daily from 7:00am- 1:00pm. The lunch menu offers a variety of salads and hot & cold sandwiches, and is moderately priced, for the quality ingredients being offered. I like the fact that you can add delicious options to your salads like marinated flank steak, or roasted garden vegetables.

The desserts and pastries are to die for...

Everything is from scratch, and it shows. I have a personal weakness for cookies, and as a self proclaimed cookie connoisseur, I can tell you that The Village @ 631 has some of the most interesting and delicious cookies I have ever tasted! Among my favorites are the salty/ sweet sensation of sea salt-white chocolate chip cookies. I also loved the hand dipped macaroons that are not only massive, but they taste amazing. Both are a perfect compliment to a delicious cup of slow brewed organic coffee.

Reggae Brunch at The Village @ 631

Looking for "Positive Vibrations" on your Sunday morning? The Village @ 631 now has Live Reggae music to add to their fantastic Sunday Brunch! Unlike any other breakfast venue in Downtown, you can enjoy the sounds from the Caribbean. A relaxing kick start to a Sunday morning with $2.00 mimosa glasses, or if you are feeling really festive, purchase a pitcher for $10.00. There are also craft beer specials, like $4.00 Maui Coconut Porter cans. I think that this is going to be a big hit that will put this great little neighborhood eatery on the map. The Welcome To San Diego Team often features The Village @ 631 as one of the stops on their Downtown Lifestyle & Real Estate Tours every Saturday. Cynthia Hillman personally tells her story and offers delicious samplings for our guests. Sound enticing? Book a Lifestyle and Real Estate Tour Today To Learn More.

Welcome to San Diego Real Estate Tours

Over the past several months, the Welcome to San Diego Real Estate Team has been hosting San Diego Real Estate Tours. Yesterday, we had the chance to share the experience with several Downtown Hotel Concierges. The day was a riot for the Concierges and the realtors. We all acted like visitors to the city and "newbies" to Downtown San Diego. We had a wonderful "walk through East Village." Our guests engaged in the lifestyle of the neighborhood from street level. It's really eye-opening for Downtown residents, other San Diegans, and people visiting our city to take a stroll and experience commerce, cuisine and culture in this urban setting. We also visited a gorgeous 8th floor condo with ballpark, bridge and bay views.

San Diego Condo Tour

Let me share yesterday's Lifestyle and Real Estate Tour program: We met on the Harbor Drive Pedestrian Bridge--a 550 foot span in a nautical theme. It shares the style of the Convention Center and other Embarcadero architecture. Most importantly, it's a key link in the Bay to Park vision of SD that has been nearly a 100 years in the making. On the way to Petco Park for a private stadium tour, we discussed the long anticipated San Diego Quiet Zone and the Martin Luther King Promenade. Both are really important aspects to urban life. Whether living, visiting or working downtown, the noise of trains has been an incessant annoyance. In late spring or early summer the completed project will significantly improve downtown life. Cities are identified by their parks. MLK is an amazing linear park--both for recreation and inspiration. At Petco, we see the Sony Home Plate Club facilities, sit behind home plate and walk on the field. It seems like you don't have to be a baseball fan to get a rush from standing on a major league field and catching a city view from home plate!

Changes in East Village Landscape

Walking north from the Stadium, we have the chance to talk about 2 new iconic additions to Downtown San Diego. The new San Diego Public Library will be opening in Summer 2013. Much more than a place to read books, it will have terraces and entertainment space for 400. Additionally, the 6th and 7th floors will be home to a much needed urban charter school. The Thomas Jefferson School of Law is a beautiful architectural addition to East Village. It also brings more than 1,000 students and faculty to the neighborhood. Oh, and in excavating for the building, it became an extraordinary archaeological discovery dating back over 500,000 years!

Downtown San Diego Lifestyle

Food is a major part of the tour. With the wide variety of choices, there are innumerable options. Yesterday, we started the culinary part of our tour with a private seating at The Cowboy Star. The sliders were sublime with choice beef, bourbon caramelized onions and a homemade pickle. But the best part was having the owner, Jon Weber, talk about his passion in creating the restaurant and being a member of the East Village community.

From there, we experienced the sensory overload of Venissimo Cheese Shop. The amazing smells and sight of over 800 cheeses in this tiny little shop is not to be missed. Rob, the cheese maven, provides 15 minutes of education and 3 samples. However, tastings are unlimited--and almost everyone seems to leave the shop with a taste for later. We point out some of the other restaurateurs and shop owners in the Neighborhood who seem quintessentially East Village like Cafe Chloe, Zanzibar, the Pacific Regal Theaters, Cars2Go, 7th Street Cleaners and... Back to Park @ the Park. A great place for sun and recreation. Also, an interesting history with the famous move of the Showley Candy Factory to make room for the whiffle ball stadium and picnic area. Baseball fans take notice of the Tony Gwynn Statue. On a normal day we would have viewed 2 real estate properties by this point. To save time, we showed only one. It was a beautiful condo at The Legend. The Concierge response was much like other downtown visitors...wow! People watch HGTV to be "real estate voyeurs." This is the same experience, up close and personal. The response of visitors from all over the world or San Diego natives has been universally, WOW! Can we see more? And therein, is the tour's biggest challenge. We start at 1:00 and finish at 5:00. After the last property yesterday, we sat at The Proper Pub, where the Guv'nor himself provided a wide sampling of beers and pub food. He explained the evolution of the Gastro-Pub movement, and how they are sourcing their food from local farms and purveyors. Although we shortened the tour by nearly 45 minutes, our concierge guests did not want to leave. (and it wasn't just the fabulous food and beverages). The Welcome to San Diego team is ready to show off our city! Check out The Lifestyle and Real Estate Tours website. You can book tickets for most weekends. More details coming in future blogs. There is so much to experience in Downtown San Diego's neighborhoods. We invite you to join us and try the "tourist point of view." It's an entirely different perspective of Downtown. We'll keep you posted on our upcoming schedule. Just let me know what works for you. Send an e-mail to david.manes@welcometosandiego.com or call 858.432.3203.

The place seems to have done a major turnaround just since August when the new owners took over. The highly East Village-esque coffee shop sits inside a converted warehouse with 20' plus ceilings and exposed wood beams at 631 G Street. 619-255-9405 They offer an indoor outdoor setting that takes advantage of San Diego's amazing weather. The best part of The Village @ 631 is that they use great ingredients from top to bottom in their establishment. They feature Cafe Virtuoso coffee that is roasted in San Diego and is 100% organic coffee.

East Village San Diego Coffee Shop

Best of all, the chef comes from The Lodge at Torrey Pines and makes all of their pastries and entrees "in house". That's right, they are not buying the food in the case from a frozen mass distributor and thawing out to serve. Quality food, a great space and good people is what The Village @ 631 cafe is all about. So what's the part about the wine bar? They just had their soft opening this weekend for their wine and beer bar located in the back section of the cafe. They are serving local craft brews and an array of delicious local and international wines. Make sure to stop by and try out this great East Village neighborhood amenity. Every neighborhood needs a great cafe and the Village @ 631 is poised to be East Village's best! Sorry Starbucks, but The Village has the EV style factor that makes me enjoy living in the neighborhood. Plus, they are pet friendly so you can bring your dog in with you too!"

Gaslamp Quarter- San Diego

Looking for a healthy alternative for dining out in the Gaslamp? Look no further! Cafe 21 combines some of California's freshest organic ingredients, inspired by international traditions of Azerbaijan.

This unique blend of "farm to fork" ingredients blended with the influences of Central Asia, Turkey, Persia, and Europe make for a healthy dining option in the Gaslamp!

I had the opportunity to visit Cafe 21 recently for Sunday Brunch. The atmosphere is contemporary and casual with exposed brick and distressed wood, which complimented the location's urban appeal. It also had a fantastic outdoor dining patio in front of the restaurant, which the majority of the patrons preferred, making for great people watching in the Historic Gaslamp District.

Cafe 21: Sustainable foods, grown locally.

The MENU is on the gourmet side and they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food comes from local farmers who provide exceptional organic produce, and the menu changes weekly, reflecting the freshest seasonal ingredients. This was an exotic and flavorful experience with signature home made bread sandwiches, fresh organic salads, hearty breakfasts, and wide selection of organic coffees, teas, and specialty cocktails, and sangrias. The pricing is moderate, and breakfast entrees range from $9-$14 per plate. The service was fantastic, and we were greeted by Alex, the owner, who went out of his way to introduce and welcome us to his restaurant. For breakfast, I tried the lamb sausage omelett with red bell peppers, goat cheese, tomato and mozzeralla, and it was delicious! I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, and I can't wait to try the lunch and dinner menus. This was a pleasant surprise and a wonderful, healthy alternative to the multitudes of steakhouses, pizzerias, and burger joints in the Gaslamp. Cafe 21 in the Gaslamp is open Tuesday- Thursday from 8am-10pm. Friday & Saturday from 8am- 11pm, and Sunday from 8am-3pm. CLOSED on Mondays. Go and try Cafe 21, I highly recommend it!

Not every homebuyer wants the biggest house on the block. Some want something simpler, more affordable, and easier to maintain, especially in a market where every dollar counts. That’s where condos come in.

For first-time buyers, they can be a smart way to get into homeownership without stretching your budget. For downsizers, they offer less space to maintain with the flexibility to stay in a great location.

And right now, condos are one of the most buyer-friendly parts of the market.

Condo Inventory Is Up, And That Means More Choice

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), there are 194,000 condos for sale right now. That’s the second highest amount we’ve seen in the last three years (see graph below):

Just remember, this is the national figure. The exact number is going to vary based on where you’re looking to buy. But, generally speaking, you have more options and less competition.

You’re not stuck waiting for something to pop up or rushing into an offer just to beat someone else to it. You’ve got plenty to choose from. And if you’re particular about layout, location, or amenities, this is your chance to be selective.

That’s a big shift from the market frenzy of just a few years ago. Compared to early 2022, we’ve got nearly double the condos available now. That gives you more breathing room to find the right fit.

Prices Are Cooling, and Buyers Hold More Negotiating Power

And since there are more for sale, many sellers are more open to negotiating right now. So, you may be able to get a better price. As Redfin explains:

“. . . condo buyers in many cities may be able to find sellers who are willing to give concessions and/or sell for less than their asking price.”

Condo prices are starting to ease in many markets. According to Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), condo prices dipped 1.3% in June compared to last year. And over half of the top 100 U.S. metros saw condo prices drop slightly year-over-year.

Data from Redfin shows what the recent dip in prices looks like (see graph below):

That doesn’t just help with affordability, it also shifts the power dynamic. Condo buyers in many markets are now in a position to negotiate on price and ask for concessions, like help with closing costs.

Bottom Line

Condos aren’t just a fallback option. In today’s market, they’re one of the most strategic ways to buy. With more options, softening prices, and more room to negotiate, now could be the right time to make your move.

Could a condo check more boxes than you expected? Let’s talk through your options and find out.

Cutting out the agent might seem like a smart way to save when you sell your house. But here’s the hard truth.

Last year, homes that sold with an agent went for almost 15% more than those that sold without one.

That gap is pretty hard to ignore. And with more homes on the market to compete with right now, selling on your own is a mistake that’s going to cost you.

This Isn’t the Market for DIY Selling

A few years ago, you might’ve gotten away with a “For Sale By Owner” (FSBO) sign in your yard, navigating the process on your own. That’s because homes were flying off the market and buyers were pulling out all the stops. But that’s just not the case anymore. With more inventory than we’ve seen in years, we’re not in a “list it and they will come” market anymore. You need professional expertise.

A yard sign and some photos you take on your own won’t cut it.

Right now, the housing market is getting back to what most would consider a more normal balance of buyers and sellers, and that really changes the game. According to Realtor.com, the latest number of listings for sale was the highest it’s been in any month of July since 2019 (see graph below):

And while inventory growth is going to vary by local market, nationally, this graph shows the number of homes for sale is inching back toward normal.

With more listings available, that means buyers can be more selective. They’ll compare your home to others on price, condition, photos, location, and more. If yours doesn’t stand out, it will get skipped over.

More Inventory = More Competition for You

Selling today requires the latest pricing strategy, expert prep work, professional marketing, and strong negotiation skills. And if you’re not bringing all of that to the table, chances are, you’re going to feel it in your bottom line.

More Homeowners Are Turning To the Pros

That’s why even more home sellers are working with agents today. Data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows a record-low percentage of homeowners sold without an agent last year. And the few sellers who tried to sell on their own realized their mistake pretty quickly.

According to Zillow, 21% of homeowners ended up hiring an agent anyway after struggling to sell on their own.

So, why take the risk? With a local pro, you'll have:

Pricing precision to attract buyers and maximize your return
Expert staging and presentation advice to highlight your home’s best features
Pro-level marketing, including the best exposure and access to buyer networks you can’t reach on your own
Skilled negotiation to evaluate offers and navigate inspections, protecting your bottom line
Local market expertise that helps your listing stand out based on what inventory looks like in your area

An agent's expertise isn’t optional anymore. It’s essential.

Bottom Line

In a market with more listings and pickier buyers, many sellers who try to sell on their own end up working with an agent anyway. So why not start there?

Connect with an agent so you have a pro who knows exactly what it takes to sell your house in today’s market, for the best possible price, without leaving money on the table.

Reach out to an agent if you want a professional assessment on what your house could sell for today.

According to Fannie Mae, 90% of buyers don’t actually know what credit score lenders are looking for, or they overestimate the minimum needed.

Let that sink in. That means most homebuyers think they need better credit than they actually do – and maybe you’re one of them. And that could make you think buying a home is out of reach for you right now, even if that’s not necessarily true. So, let’s look at what the data really says about credit scores and homebuying.

There’s No One Magic Number

There’s no universal credit score you absolutely have to have when buying a home. And that means there’s more flexibility than most people realize. Check out this graph showing the median credit scores recent buyers had among different home loan types:

Here's what’s important to realize. The numbers vary, and there’s no one-size-fits-all threshold. And that could open doors you thought were closed for you. The best way to learn more is to talk to a trusted lender. As FICO explains:

“While many lenders use credit scores like FICO Scores to help them make lending decisions, each lender has its own strategy, including the level of risk it finds acceptable. There is no single ‘cutoff score’ used by all lenders, and there are many additional factors that lenders may use . . .”

Why Your Score Still Matters

When you buy a home, lenders use your credit score to get a sense of how reliable you are with money. They want to see if you typically make payments on time, pay back debts, and more.

Your score can impact which loan types you may qualify for, the terms on those loans, and even your mortgage rate. And since mortgage rates are a big factor in how much house you’ll be able to afford, that may make your score feel even more important today. As Bankrate says:

“Your credit score is one of the most important factors lenders consider when you apply for a mortgage. Not just to qualify for the loan itself, but for the conditions: Typically, the higher your score, the lower the interest rates and better terms you’ll qualify for.”

That still doesn’t mean your credit has to be perfect. Even if your credit score isn’t as high as you’d like, you may still be able to get a home loan.

Want To Boost Your Score? Start Here

And if you talk to a lender and decide you want to improve your score (and hopefully your loan type and terms too), here are a few smart moves according to the Federal Reserve Board:

Pay Your Bills on Time: This is a big one. Lenders want to see you can reliably pay your bills on time. This includes everything from credit cards to utilities and cell phone bills. Consistent, on-time payments show you’re a responsible borrower.
Pay Down Your Debt: When it comes to your available credit amount, the less you’re using, the better. Focus on keeping this number as low as possible. That makes you a lower-risk borrower in the eyes of lenders – making them more likely to approve a loan with better terms.
Review Your Credit Report: Get copies of your credit report and work to correct any errors you find. This can help improve your score.
Don’t Open New Accounts: While it might be tempting to open more credit cards to build your score, it’s best to hold off. Too many new credit applications can lead to hard inquiries on your report, which can temporarily lower your score.

Bottom Line

Your credit score doesn’t have to be perfect to qualify for a home loan. But a better score can help you get better terms on your home loan. The best way to know where you stand and your options for a mortgage is to connect with a trusted lender.

If you’ve been watching the market, you’ve likely noticed a few changes already this year. But what’s next? From home prices to mortgage rates, here’s what the latest expert forecasts suggest for the rest of 2025 – and what these shifts could mean for you.

Will Home Prices Fall?

Many buyers are hoping home prices will come down soon. And recent headlines about prices dipping in some areas are making some people believe it's just a matter of time before there’s a bigger drop. But here are the facts.

While home price growth is slowing down, that doesn’t mean we’re headed for a crash. As NAHB explains:

“House price growth slowed . . . partly due to a decline in demand and an increase in supply. Persistent high mortgage rates and increased inventory combined to ease upward pressure on house prices. These factors signaled a cooling market, following rapid gains seen in previous years.”

But experts say, even with that slowdown, prices will still rise this year at the national level. The average of 8 leading forecasters shows prices are expected to go up 1.5-2% in 2025 (see graph below):

That means, if you’re waiting for a major drop, experts agree that’s just not in the cards.

Keep in mind, while some markets are already seeing prices come down slightly, the average dip is just -3.5%. That’s a far cry from the nearly 20% decline the market experienced during the 2008 crash.

Plus, those small changes are easily absorbed when you consider how much home prices have climbed over the past few years. Data from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) shows prices are up 55% nationally compared to just 5 years ago.

The takeaway? Prices aren’t crashing. They’re expected to keep climbing – just not as quickly these days. And some may argue they’ll be closer to flat by the end of this year. But, again, this is going to vary by market, with some local ups and downs. So, lean on a pro to see the latest price trends for your area.

Will Mortgage Rates Come Down?

Another common thought among today’s buyers is: I’m just going to wait for rates to come down. But is that a smart strategy? According to Yahoo Finance:

"If you’re looking for a substantial interest rate drop in 2025, you’ll likely be left waiting. The latest news from the Federal Reserve and other key economic data point toward steady mortgage rates on par with what we see today."

In other words, don’t try to time the market or wait for a drop that may not be coming. Most experts say rates will remain in the 6s, and current projections have them settling in the mid-6% range by the end of this year (see chart below):

And that’s not a big change from where they are right now. So, if you need to move, let’s talk about how to make it happen and what you should watch for. Because while rates may not be as low as you want them to be, you don’t want to put your needs on the back burner, hoping for something the data shows isn’t likely to happen.

Working with an expert who is keeping an eye on all the economic factors that can influence mortgage rates is going to be essential this year. That’s because changes in things like inflation and other key drivers could impact how rates move going forward.

The Takeaway for Buyers and Sellers

Whether you're buying, selling, or thinking about doing both, this market requires strategy, not guesswork. Prices are still rising nationally (just more slowly), and rates are projected to stay pretty much where they are, so the bigger picture is one of moderation – not a meltdown.

Bottom Line

If you want to make a move, your best bet is to focus on your personal situation – not what the headlines say – and work with a real estate pro who knows how to navigate the shifting conditions in your local market.

Over the past few years, affordability has been the biggest challenge for homebuyers. Between rapidly rising home prices and higher mortgage rates, many have felt stuck between a rock and a hard place.

But, something pretty encouraging is happening. While affordability is still tight, mortgage rates have shown signs of stabilizing in recent months. And that may finally make it a bit easier to plan your move.

Mortgage Rates Have Stabilized – For Now

Over the past year, mortgage rates have had their share of ups and downs, making it tough for buyers to know what to expect. But recently, rates have started to level out and have settled into a more narrow range (see graph below):

As the graph shows, rates have stayed within that half-percentage-point since late last year. Yes, there’s been movement within that range, but wild swings and sudden ups and downs just haven’t been the story lately. And that’s a bigger deal than you may realize. As HousingWire explains:

“Analysts, economists and mortgage professionals are coining this quarter’s activity as one of the most “calm” periods for mortgage rates in recent memory.”

How This Helps Today’s Buyers

Let’s be real. Unpredictability makes it tough to plan ahead. When rates are bouncing around and making big jumps week to week, it’s easy to be intimidated. But with rates staying in a pretty steady range over the past several months, you have a clearer picture of what your potential monthly payment could look like. That makes moving feel less uncertain – and more doable. So, stop waiting. And start planning. Even though rates may not be where you want them to be right now, they have been much less volatile for quite some time.

Will This Stability Last?

According to the experts, it looks like that stability might hang around for a bit. Rates may come down ever so slightly in the months ahead, but it’ll likely be a slow and mild change. As Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at Realtor.com, says:

“I expect a generally downward trend for rates this year, but at a slow enough pace that it might not be noticeable in any given month.”

So, if you’ve been holding out for the perfect mortgage rate, the best advice is to avoid trying to time the market. It may not look terribly different than the opportunity you already have in front of you. As Jeff Ostrowski, Housing Market Analyst at Bankrate, explains:

“Trying to time mortgage rates is really difficult. There’s no guarantee that rates are going to be any more favorable in three months or six months.”

And if we look at the latest expert forecasts that go out a bit further, even those tell much of the same story. Two out of the three projections say rates will still likely be in the mid-6% range by the end of 2026 (see graph below):

This puts today’s buyers in a much better spot. As Sam Khater, Chief Economist at Freddie Mac, explains:

“Mortgage rates have moved within a narrow range for the past few months . . . Rate stability, improving inventory and slower house price growth are an encouraging combination . . .”

Just remember, mortgage rates are still going to react to changing economic conditions, inflation, and more – and that means they could shift again. But right now, you’ve got more predictability, and that means more opportunity, too.

Bottom Line

While affordability is still a challenge, the market may be offering a bit more stability – and that makes planning your next move a lot easier. Let’s connect if you want to run the numbers and see what a monthly payment would look like in today’s market. That way you can stop waiting and start planning.

Here’s something you need to know. The housing market is getting back to a healthier, more normal place. And even though it may not sound like it, this shift is actually a good thing.

It’s what you should expect. It’s just that our expectations have been skewed by the intense seller’s market over the past few years.

But what you need to remember is: there’s still plenty of opportunity to be had if you’re thinking about selling – whether that’s next month or next year. You just need to stay up to date on what’s happening in the market, and have a strategy that matches the moment. Here's your update.

1. Inventory’s Up. Buyer Power Is Coming Back.

According to the latest data, the number of homes for sale is rising back toward more normal levels (see graph below):

But inventory growth is going to vary a lot based on where you live.

If you’re in a market where the number of homes for sale is back to normal, buyers may have more sway than you’d expect. That doesn’t mean buyers have all the power – it just means they have more choices, so your home has to stand out.

But if you live where inventory is still pretty limited, you may see more buyers competing for your house.

No matter where you are, the key is to work with a pro who can help you adjust your game plan for your local market.

2. The Right Price Matters More Than Ever

With more homes to choose from, today’s buyers are quick to skip over homes that feel overpriced. That’s why pricing your house right is the secret to selling quickly and for top dollar. That’s a point Realtor.com really drives home:

“ . . . a seller listing a well-priced, move-in ready home should have little problem finding a buyer."

Miss the mark, though, and you may have to backtrack. Today, about 1 in 5 sellers (19.1%) are reducing their asking price to attract buyers (see map below):

Here’s how to avoid being one of those sellers who has to reduce their asking price. Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at Realtor.com, says:

“The rising share of price reductions suggests that a lot of sellers are anchored to prices that aren't realistic in today's housing market. Today's sellers would be wise to listen to feedback they are getting from the market.”

The best way to get that information? Lean on your local agent. They have the expertise to set a price that sells in any market. Because if your price isn’t compelling, it’s not selling.

3. Flexibility Wins Negotiations

Gone are the days of buyers waiving inspections and appraisals just to get a deal done. Now, because they have more homes to choose from, buyers are able to ask for things like repairs, credits, and help with closing costs. And data from Redfin shows nearly 44.4% of sellers are willing to negotiate (see graph below):

The takeaway? This isn’t a bad market. It’s just a different one. And it’s in line with more normal years in the housing market, like back in 2019. The savviest sellers are the ones taking advantage of every opportunity to work with buyers and make their house shine.

And it’ll help if you think of concessions as tools, not losses. Use them to bridge gaps, sweeten deals, and get across the finish line. And don’t stress. Since prices went up roughly 55% over the past five years, you’ve got plenty of room to make a concession or two and still come out ahead.

Just be sure to work with your agent to understand which concessions could be the key to sealing the deal.

Bottom Line

Sellers who are going to succeed in the weeks and months ahead are the ones who understand this market shift and lean into it with the right expectations and the right strategy.

Connect with a local agent and talk about what’s working in your area right now – and how to make those wins work for you, too – whenever you’re ready to make a move.

Some Highlights

Over the past 5 years, home prices have risen dramatically. If you own a home, that means your house may be worth a lot more than you think.

Nationally, prices are up nearly 60% since 2019. And, if selling has been on your mind, you can use that bigger-than-expected return to power your next move.

If you want to know how much your home is worth in today’s market, reach out to a local agent. The number may surprise you.

Visit Bankers Hill
Bankers Hill is an uptown San Diego neighborhood bordered by Mission Hills and Hillcrest to the north, by Downtown to the south and Balboa Park to the east. It sits perched on the hillside over the San Diego bay and airport. It was named “Bankers Hill” because of its reputation for being home to the affluent. Many of the homes, designed by the likes of Irving Gill and other notable architects, date back to the late 1800s and some have been restored into bed-and-breakfast inns and office suites occupied by accountants and attorneys. Many of the homes have views of the ocean or Balboa Park and the walk-ability to restaurants, cafes, bars and the world famous Balboa park make it one of the best urban neighborhoods in San Diego. 5th Avenue is the primary business section, many of which are medical and dental offices, which have led to the area being dubbed “Pill Hill.” In 2014 Sharp Reese Steely constructed a beautiful new medical facility with urgent care, general practitioners and even doctors specializing in many areas of medicine.
Balboa Park Condos
The area is home to existing condominiums and courtyard apartments, as well as new condos being constructed all over the area. Buildings like Mi Arbolito, Vue on 5th, and blank are among the newest projects the area. There are a mix of older low rise condo buildings as well as luxury high rise condos like Park Laurel. The neighborhood has a good blend of modern meets historical so it feels like a dynamic place with good energy.
Banker's Hill is where modern meets historical
Popular restaurants include the Hob Nob Café, Bertrand at Mr. A’s, Busalacci’s, Croces Park West and Cucina Urbana. Bankers Hill finds itself in the flight path and airplane watching is a common pastime. 2015 marks the 100 year anniversary for Balboa Park so there have been many public projects improving the area.

Not every homebuyer wants the biggest house on the block. Some want something simpler, more affordable, and easier to maintain, especially in a market where every dollar counts. That’s where condos come in.

For first-time buyers, they can be a smart way to get into homeownership without stretching your budget. For downsizers, they offer less space to maintain with the flexibility to stay in a great location.

And right now, condos are one of the most buyer-friendly parts of the market.

Condo Inventory Is Up, And That Means More Choice

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), there are 194,000 condos for sale right now. That’s the second highest amount we’ve seen in the last three years (see graph below):

Just remember, this is the national figure. The exact number is going to vary based on where you’re looking to buy. But, generally speaking, you have more options and less competition.

You’re not stuck waiting for something to pop up or rushing into an offer just to beat someone else to it. You’ve got plenty to choose from. And if you’re particular about layout, location, or amenities, this is your chance to be selective.

That’s a big shift from the market frenzy of just a few years ago. Compared to early 2022, we’ve got nearly double the condos available now. That gives you more breathing room to find the right fit.

Prices Are Cooling, and Buyers Hold More Negotiating Power

And since there are more for sale, many sellers are more open to negotiating right now. So, you may be able to get a better price. As Redfin explains:

“. . . condo buyers in many cities may be able to find sellers who are willing to give concessions and/or sell for less than their asking price.”

Condo prices are starting to ease in many markets. According to Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), condo prices dipped 1.3% in June compared to last year. And over half of the top 100 U.S. metros saw condo prices drop slightly year-over-year.

Data from Redfin shows what the recent dip in prices looks like (see graph below):

That doesn’t just help with affordability, it also shifts the power dynamic. Condo buyers in many markets are now in a position to negotiate on price and ask for concessions, like help with closing costs.

Bottom Line

Condos aren’t just a fallback option. In today’s market, they’re one of the most strategic ways to buy. With more options, softening prices, and more room to negotiate, now could be the right time to make your move.

Could a condo check more boxes than you expected? Let’s talk through your options and find out.

Cutting out the agent might seem like a smart way to save when you sell your house. But here’s the hard truth.

Last year, homes that sold with an agent went for almost 15% more than those that sold without one.

That gap is pretty hard to ignore. And with more homes on the market to compete with right now, selling on your own is a mistake that’s going to cost you.

This Isn’t the Market for DIY Selling

A few years ago, you might’ve gotten away with a “For Sale By Owner” (FSBO) sign in your yard, navigating the process on your own. That’s because homes were flying off the market and buyers were pulling out all the stops. But that’s just not the case anymore. With more inventory than we’ve seen in years, we’re not in a “list it and they will come” market anymore. You need professional expertise.

A yard sign and some photos you take on your own won’t cut it.

Right now, the housing market is getting back to what most would consider a more normal balance of buyers and sellers, and that really changes the game. According to Realtor.com, the latest number of listings for sale was the highest it’s been in any month of July since 2019 (see graph below):

And while inventory growth is going to vary by local market, nationally, this graph shows the number of homes for sale is inching back toward normal.

With more listings available, that means buyers can be more selective. They’ll compare your home to others on price, condition, photos, location, and more. If yours doesn’t stand out, it will get skipped over.

More Inventory = More Competition for You

Selling today requires the latest pricing strategy, expert prep work, professional marketing, and strong negotiation skills. And if you’re not bringing all of that to the table, chances are, you’re going to feel it in your bottom line.

More Homeowners Are Turning To the Pros

That’s why even more home sellers are working with agents today. Data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows a record-low percentage of homeowners sold without an agent last year. And the few sellers who tried to sell on their own realized their mistake pretty quickly.

According to Zillow, 21% of homeowners ended up hiring an agent anyway after struggling to sell on their own.

So, why take the risk? With a local pro, you'll have:

Pricing precision to attract buyers and maximize your return

Expert staging and presentation advice to highlight your home’s best features

Pro-level marketing, including the best exposure and access to buyer networks you can’t reach on your own

Skilled negotiation to evaluate offers and navigate inspections, protecting your bottom line

Local market expertise that helps your listing stand out based on what inventory looks like in your area

An agent's expertise isn’t optional anymore. It’s essential.

Bottom Line

In a market with more listings and pickier buyers, many sellers who try to sell on their own end up working with an agent anyway. So why not start there?

Connect with an agent so you have a pro who knows exactly what it takes to sell your house in today’s market, for the best possible price, without leaving money on the table.

Reach out to an agent if you want a professional assessment on what your house could sell for today.

According to Fannie Mae, 90% of buyers don’t actually know what credit score lenders are looking for, or they overestimate the minimum needed.

Let that sink in. That means most homebuyers think they need better credit than they actually do – and maybe you’re one of them. And that could make you think buying a home is out of reach for you right now, even if that’s not necessarily true. So, let’s look at what the data really says about credit scores and homebuying.

There’s No One Magic Number

There’s no universal credit score you absolutely have to have when buying a home. And that means there’s more flexibility than most people realize. Check out this graph showing the median credit scores recent buyers had among different home loan types:

Here's what’s important to realize. The numbers vary, and there’s no one-size-fits-all threshold. And that could open doors you thought were closed for you. The best way to learn more is to talk to a trusted lender. As FICO explains:

“While many lenders use credit scores like FICO Scores to help them make lending decisions, each lender has its own strategy, including the level of risk it finds acceptable. There is no single ‘cutoff score’ used by all lenders, and there are many additional factors that lenders may use . . .”

Why Your Score Still Matters

When you buy a home, lenders use your credit score to get a sense of how reliable you are with money. They want to see if you typically make payments on time, pay back debts, and more.

Your score can impact which loan types you may qualify for, the terms on those loans, and even your mortgage rate. And since mortgage rates are a big factor in how much house you’ll be able to afford, that may make your score feel even more important today. As Bankrate says:

“Your credit score is one of the most important factors lenders consider when you apply for a mortgage. Not just to qualify for the loan itself, but for the conditions: Typically, the higher your score, the lower the interest rates and better terms you’ll qualify for.”

That still doesn’t mean your credit has to be perfect. Even if your credit score isn’t as high as you’d like, you may still be able to get a home loan.

Want To Boost Your Score? Start Here

And if you talk to a lender and decide you want to improve your score (and hopefully your loan type and terms too), here are a few smart moves according to the Federal Reserve Board:

Pay Your Bills on Time: This is a big one. Lenders want to see you can reliably pay your bills on time. This includes everything from credit cards to utilities and cell phone bills. Consistent, on-time payments show you’re a responsible borrower.

Pay Down Your Debt: When it comes to your available credit amount, the less you’re using, the better. Focus on keeping this number as low as possible. That makes you a lower-risk borrower in the eyes of lenders – making them more likely to approve a loan with better terms.

Review Your Credit Report: Get copies of your credit report and work to correct any errors you find. This can help improve your score.

Don’t Open New Accounts: While it might be tempting to open more credit cards to build your score, it’s best to hold off. Too many new credit applications can lead to hard inquiries on your report, which can temporarily lower your score.

Bottom Line

Your credit score doesn’t have to be perfect to qualify for a home loan. But a better score can help you get better terms on your home loan. The best way to know where you stand and your options for a mortgage is to connect with a trusted lender.

If you’ve been watching the market, you’ve likely noticed a few changes already this year. But what’s next? From home prices to mortgage rates, here’s what the latest expert forecasts suggest for the rest of 2025 – and what these shifts could mean for you.

Will Home Prices Fall?

Many buyers are hoping home prices will come down soon. And recent headlines about prices dipping in some areas are making some people believe it's just a matter of time before there’s a bigger drop. But here are the facts.

While home price growth is slowing down, that doesn’t mean we’re headed for a crash. As NAHB explains:

“House price growth slowed . . . partly due to a decline in demand and an increase in supply. Persistent high mortgage rates and increased inventory combined to ease upward pressure on house prices. These factors signaled a cooling market, following rapid gains seen in previous years.”

But experts say, even with that slowdown, prices will still rise this year at the national level. The average of 8 leading forecasters shows prices are expected to go up 1.5-2% in 2025 (see graph below):

That means, if you’re waiting for a major drop, experts agree that’s just not in the cards.

Keep in mind, while some markets are already seeing prices come down slightly, the average dip is just -3.5%. That’s a far cry from the nearly 20% decline the market experienced during the 2008 crash.

Plus, those small changes are easily absorbed when you consider how much home prices have climbed over the past few years. Data from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) shows prices are up 55% nationally compared to just 5 years ago.

The takeaway? Prices aren’t crashing. They’re expected to keep climbing – just not as quickly these days. And some may argue they’ll be closer to flat by the end of this year. But, again, this is going to vary by market, with some local ups and downs. So, lean on a pro to see the latest price trends for your area.

Will Mortgage Rates Come Down?

Another common thought among today’s buyers is: I’m just going to wait for rates to come down. But is that a smart strategy? According to Yahoo Finance:

"If you’re looking for a substantial interest rate drop in 2025, you’ll likely be left waiting. The latest news from the Federal Reserve and other key economic data point toward steady mortgage rates on par with what we see today."

In other words, don’t try to time the market or wait for a drop that may not be coming. Most experts say rates will remain in the 6s, and current projections have them settling in the mid-6% range by the end of this year (see chart below):

And that’s not a big change from where they are right now. So, if you need to move, let’s talk about how to make it happen and what you should watch for. Because while rates may not be as low as you want them to be, you don’t want to put your needs on the back burner, hoping for something the data shows isn’t likely to happen.

Working with an expert who is keeping an eye on all the economic factors that can influence mortgage rates is going to be essential this year. That’s because changes in things like inflation and other key drivers could impact how rates move going forward.

The Takeaway for Buyers and Sellers

Whether you're buying, selling, or thinking about doing both, this market requires strategy, not guesswork. Prices are still rising nationally (just more slowly), and rates are projected to stay pretty much where they are, so the bigger picture is one of moderation – not a meltdown.

Bottom Line

If you want to make a move, your best bet is to focus on your personal situation – not what the headlines say – and work with a real estate pro who knows how to navigate the shifting conditions in your local market.

Over the past few years, affordability has been the biggest challenge for homebuyers. Between rapidly rising home prices and higher mortgage rates, many have felt stuck between a rock and a hard place.

But, something pretty encouraging is happening. While affordability is still tight, mortgage rates have shown signs of stabilizing in recent months. And that may finally make it a bit easier to plan your move.
Mortgage Rates Have Stabilized – For Now
Over the past year, mortgage rates have had their share of ups and downs, making it tough for buyers to know what to expect. But recently, rates have started to level out and have settled into a more narrow range (see graph below): As the graph shows, rates have stayed within that half-percentage-point since late last year. Yes, there’s been movement within that range, but wild swings and sudden ups and downs just haven’t been the story lately. And that’s a bigger deal than you may realize. As HousingWire explains:
“Analysts, economists and mortgage professionals are coining this quarter’s activity as one of the most “calm” periods for mortgage rates in recent memory.”

How This Helps Today’s Buyers
Let’s be real. Unpredictability makes it tough to plan ahead. When rates are bouncing around and making big jumps week to week, it’s easy to be intimidated. But with rates staying in a pretty steady range over the past several months, you have a clearer picture of what your potential monthly payment could look like. That makes moving feel less uncertain – and more doable. So, stop waiting. And start planning. Even though rates may not be where you want them to be right now, they have been much less volatile for quite some time.
Will This Stability Last?
According to the experts, it looks like that stability might hang around for a bit. Rates may come down ever so slightly in the months ahead, but it’ll likely be a slow and mild change. As Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at Realtor.com, says:
“I expect a generally downward trend for rates this year, but at a slow enough pace that it might not be noticeable in any given month.”
So, if you’ve been holding out for the perfect mortgage rate, the best advice is to avoid trying to time the market. It may not look terribly different than the opportunity you already have in front of you. As Jeff Ostrowski, Housing Market Analyst at Bankrate, explains:
“Trying to time mortgage rates is really difficult. There’s no guarantee that rates are going to be any more favorable in three months or six months.”
And if we look at the latest expert forecasts that go out a bit further, even those tell much of the same story. Two out of the three projections say rates will still likely be in the mid-6% range by the end of 2026 (see graph below): This puts today’s buyers in a much better spot. As Sam Khater, Chief Economist at Freddie Mac, explains:
“Mortgage rates have moved within a narrow range for the past few months . . . Rate stability, improving inventory and slower house price growth are an encouraging combination . . .”
Just remember, mortgage rates are still going to react to changing economic conditions, inflation, and more – and that means they could shift again. But right now, you’ve got more predictability, and that means more opportunity, too.

Bottom Line

While affordability is still a challenge, the market may be offering a bit more stability – and that makes planning your next move a lot easier. Let’s connect if you want to run the numbers and see what a monthly payment would look like in today’s market. That way you can stop waiting and start planning.

Here’s something you need to know. The housing market is getting back to a healthier, more normal place. And even though it may not sound like it, this shift is actually a good thing.

It’s what you should expect. It’s just that our expectations have been skewed by the intense seller’s market over the past few years.

But what you need to remember is: there’s still plenty of opportunity to be had if you’re thinking about selling – whether that’s next month or next year. You just need to stay up to date on what’s happening in the market, and have a strategy that matches the moment. Here's your update.

1. Inventory’s Up. Buyer Power Is Coming Back.

According to the latest data, the number of homes for sale is rising back toward more normal levels (see graph below):

But inventory growth is going to vary a lot based on where you live.

If you’re in a market where the number of homes for sale is back to normal, buyers may have more sway than you’d expect. That doesn’t mean buyers have all the power – it just means they have more choices, so your home has to stand out.

But if you live where inventory is still pretty limited, you may see more buyers competing for your house.

No matter where you are, the key is to work with a pro who can help you adjust your game plan for your local market.

2. The Right Price Matters More Than Ever

With more homes to choose from, today’s buyers are quick to skip over homes that feel overpriced. That’s why pricing your house right is the secret to selling quickly and for top dollar. That’s a point Realtor.com really drives home:

“ . . . a seller listing a well-priced, move-in ready home should have little problem finding a buyer."

Miss the mark, though, and you may have to backtrack. Today, about 1 in 5 sellers (19.1%) are reducing their asking price to attract buyers (see map below):

Here’s how to avoid being one of those sellers who has to reduce their asking price. Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at Realtor.com, says:

“The rising share of price reductions suggests that a lot of sellers are anchored to prices that aren't realistic in today's housing market. Today's sellers would be wise to listen to feedback they are getting from the market.”

The best way to get that information? Lean on your local agent. They have the expertise to set a price that sells in any market. Because if your price isn’t compelling, it’s not selling.

3. Flexibility Wins Negotiations

Gone are the days of buyers waiving inspections and appraisals just to get a deal done. Now, because they have more homes to choose from, buyers are able to ask for things like repairs, credits, and help with closing costs. And data from Redfin shows nearly 44.4% of sellers are willing to negotiate (see graph below):

The takeaway? This isn’t a bad market. It’s just a different one. And it’s in line with more normal years in the housing market, like back in 2019. The savviest sellers are the ones taking advantage of every opportunity to work with buyers and make their house shine.

And it’ll help if you think of concessions as tools, not losses. Use them to bridge gaps, sweeten deals, and get across the finish line. And don’t stress. Since prices went up roughly 55% over the past five years, you’ve got plenty of room to make a concession or two and still come out ahead.

Just be sure to work with your agent to understand which concessions could be the key to sealing the deal.

Bottom Line

Sellers who are going to succeed in the weeks and months ahead are the ones who understand this market shift and lean into it with the right expectations and the right strategy.

Connect with a local agent and talk about what’s working in your area right now – and how to make those wins work for you, too – whenever you’re ready to make a move.

Some Highlights

Over the past 5 years, home prices have risen dramatically. If you own a home, that means your house may be worth a lot more than you think.

Nationally, prices are up nearly 60% since 2019. And, if selling has been on your mind, you can use that bigger-than-expected return to power your next move.

If you want to know how much your home is worth in today’s market, reach out to a local agent. The number may surprise you.
