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.

Putting off selling because it feels like the market’s at a standstill and no one’s buying right now?

Sure, the pace has cooled in some areas recently. But houses are still selling all the time. In fact, more than 4 million will sell this year.

Do a little math, and that works out to over 11k sold every day, almost 470 an hour, and about eight every minute.

So, don’t count your house out. Another home just sold as you were reading this – let’s make the next one yours.

Thinking about buying in a Boca Raton gated community? Here is what most buyers do not realize until closing.

Our new guide covers the full picture: the types of gated communities in Boca Raton, the real cost of living behind the gates, the approval process, insurance considerations, and what to look for when you tour.

Sticker shock keeping you on the sidelines? Condos might help.

The median condo sold for $380,000 in June, while the median single-family home went for $446,400. That's a gap of more than $66,000.

Part of that is because condos are usually smaller. But that's exactly the point. Smaller square footage can mean a smaller price tag.

So, if you can make less space work for your life, it may work for your budget, too.

For a lot of buyers, especially first-timer buyers, a condo or townhome is the difference between waiting and owning.

Curious what condos and townhomes are selling for in our area? Drop a comment or send me a DM, and I'll put together a list that fits your budget.

For most people, their first house was never meant to be their forever home. It was meant to be a stepping stone to whatever came next.
And today's market is creating an interesting opportunity for homeowners who are ready to move up.
Starter homes are still in short supply, which means the house you're selling may be exactly what another buyer has been hoping to find.
At the same time, there are more move-up homes on the market than buyers have had to choose from in years.
Throw in the equity you've likely built over the years, and moving up may be more realistic than you think.
If your current home no longer fits your life, let's talk about what your next chapter could look like.

The House That Started It All Could Kickstart What's Next

Your first home was never meant to be your forever home. It was meant to help you build a life and build the financial foundation for whatever came next.
If your current home no longer fits the life you're living today, let’s connect. You may be closer to your next chapter than you realize.

The House That Started It All Could Kickstart What's Next Remember how exciting it was to buy your first place?

If you’ve been house-hunting lately, you know the struggle. High prices. And too few homes to choose from.

But this Summer, the tide may be turning in your favor.

Nationally, the median asking price is about $11,000 below where it was a year ago. A sign sellers are meeting buyers where they’re at.

And the number of homes for sale just hit its highest point for any June since 2022.

This doesn’t mean a crash is coming – lower list prices and more options just mean you have more room to find a home that fits your budget and your needs.

So, if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to buy, this might be it. DM and let's look.
