As our market has shifted over the last few years, one main concern that most people have is regarding their home’s value. It’s one thing to be “in the know” about what’s happening in the market, but how it affects you and your own net worth is a little more…

Today as I sit down to write this commentary I am in my office with coffee in hand staring at too many graphs and charts that tell only the beginning of the story that will ultimately be the 2025 housing market. It’s always a question to ponder on which key point and…

It seems that each year when January arrives it feels just as wild as it did the last January… just like that and it’s another year gone by and we’re ready to start fresh. It’s the time for reflection about the previous 12 months and contemplation about the next 12…

As we come into the trailing days of the year and get prepared for 2025 (as crazy as that is to say), there are big questions about where the housing market might be headed in the new year.

For the last couple of years as I’ve written in my newsletter about supply & demand a lot of focus has been paid to the demand side of the equation. This is for good reason, of course, because the high interest rate environment has greatly affected buyers ability or…

Every four years we get a new round of global uncertainty that is laced with hope, and more often than not, a great deal of trepidation. The last two decades have been especially wrought with this mixture of emotions, and this, of course, leads to big questions around what…

It’s time again to return to a regular topic in my market commentary, supply & demand. If you’ve been a reader of mine for any amount of time you’ll know that this is my most revisited topic, and for good reason. Understanding the balance of active sellers…

As crazy as it is to say, we’re already approaching the halfway point in the year, so I thought it would be a good time to give a quick “big picture” update on how the market has been doing so far and what we might have in store for the second half of the year.

A lot of market commentary over the past couple of years, including my own, has focused quite a bit on the rising interest rates, and for good reason. We’ve also talked extensively about the effect these higher rates have had on buyer demand and the market on the whole.

One of the most frequent questions I am asked other than “how’s the market” is, “should I get solar?” It’s an important question because it’s a large investment if you’re purchasing it and a large commitment if you’re leasing the solar.
