A little market recap to kick off September.

There are a few numbers worth paying attention to right now. National active inventory reached 1.14 million homes, the highest level since 2019, while the median asking price slipped to $420,000.

Homebuyer payments also declined in July, mortgage delinquencies improved, and consumer credit remained stable.

At the same time, interest rates are still hanging around longer than many had hoped, which continues to play a big role in both buying and selling decisions.

More homes on the market, slightly lower asking prices, and interest rates continuing to shape the market.

Just a quick look at where things stand as we kick off September! 🏡

If you own property on the Texas coast, here’s one insurance update worth knowing. 🌊

Beginning with TWIA residential renewals effective September 1, dwelling coverage amounts will automatically increase by approximately 3% to account for changes in building costs.

That doesn’t mean your rate increased 3%. It means TWIA may be insuring your home for a higher amount, which can increase both your premium and the actual dollar amount of your deductible.

And if you’re BUYING along the coast, this is another good reminder not to base your expected insurance costs on what the current owner pays. Get an insurance quote for yourself and the property before making assumptions.

Coastal real estate comes with a few extra moving pieces. This is one of them.
