The Sands Group

This fall brings encouraging news for both buyers and sellers. Following the Federal Reserve’s rate cut in September, mortgage rates have begun to ease—a welcome shift that’s bringing new energy to the market.

In this issue of Market Insights, we’ll explore how lower rates and steady demand are shaping what’s expected to be a stable and resilient fall season.

We had a great time at our summer happy hour last night! 🎉

Thank you to the amazing clients and friends who joined us. While we love hosting our larger client appreciation events, there’s something truly special about these more intimate gatherings—where we get to connect, share stories, and strengthen the relationships that matter most.

For the past 15 years, The Sands Group has been incredibly fortunate to serve clients across PA, NJ, and FL. We’re proud of the community that’s grown around our business, and we never take your trust and support for granted.

Here’s to more moments like these—and to the people who make it all possible.

Today, roughly 1 in 3 homeowners—nearly 29 million households—have built up more home equity than the federal capital gains tax exclusion for single filers protects when they sell their primary home, according to a recent analysis by the National Association of Realtors®. By 2030, that number is expected to grow to 56% of homeowners.

The map above shows the percentage of homeowners across the country whose home equity surpasses the capital gains exclusion limit—potentially leading to unexpected taxes when they sell.
