Stay or Sell? How To Make the Right Call as You Age

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here.

Some people stay and make updates. Others move to simplify things. Either can be the right choice. The goal isn’t to pick one today. It’s to understand your options early, so when the time comes, you feel confident instead of rushed.

And if you ever want a sounding board to think through what the future could look like for you, let’s connect.

At some point, as you start thinking about the years ahead, this question tends to come up...

First-time buyers may be starting to catch a bit of a break – and this list shows where.

Zillow just ranked the top 10 markets for first-time buyers this Spring.

And these metros made the list because there are more homes to choose from. There’s slower price growth. And wages are rising in these areas.

That combination is what’s opening the door for some buyers, even with higher mortgage rates.

But what about your city? Even if your metro isn’t on this list, don’t worry. The full list names 50 cities. And even beyond that, there’s opportunity in any market, if you know where to look.

Want to find the best neighborhoods for first-time buyers locally? Let’s talk.

Did you try to buy a home last year and feel stuck?

Maybe there just weren’t enough options. Or, nothing really fit what you were looking for.

That’s starting to change.

There are now nearly 2x as many new listings hitting the market compared to a few months ago. Those are homes that were just put up for sale.

That means more fresh options and a better chance of finding the house that actually works for you.

If you’re curious what’s out there in our area right now, let’s take a look together.

The net worth of a homeowner is 43x greater than that of a renter. Not 2x. Not 5x. Forty-three.

And even if renting feels like the easier move right now, that’s a number that sticks with you – because it shows what’s at stake over time.

Look, I know buying can feel out of reach. But when’s the last time you actually ran the numbers? Because you might be closer than you think.

Now that doesn’t mean you have to buy today. But you should at least know your options and what it would take to get there.

Getting a tax refund this year?

If homeownership is on your radar, adding that refund to what you’ve already saved could help you take that step a little sooner.

The average refund is higher this year, over $3,500, but your amount will vary. Either way, when you’re buying a home, every dollar helps.

That money could go toward your down payment, help cover closing costs, or even be used to lower your mortgage rate and monthly payment.

If you’ve been wondering how much home you could afford right now, let’s talk it through.

Thinking About an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage? Here’s What You Need To Know.

ARMs are getting more attention again because they can make buying a home more affordable in the short term. But they’re not right for everyone.

The key is understanding how they work, what the risks are, and whether they fit your plan. And that’s why you need to talk to a trusted lender and financial advisor before you make any decisions.

When Buying a Home Feels Out of Reach, Some Families Do This Instead

If you want more information on multi-generational homes, let’s have a quick conversation about what’s available in our area. Sometimes the path to homeownership isn’t doing it alone. It’s doing it together.

For a lot of people, the math on buying a home just doesn’t really work right now.

Scroll through your social feed, and you may come across something that says investors are buying all the homes right now. But housing market data tells a different story.

Only 0.4% of the 86 million single-family homes in the U.S. are owned by large investors (those with over 1,000 properties) today. That's a lot less than headlines would have you think.

So, if that’s been shaping how you see your chances of buying, it might be worth looking at things a little differently.
