Lower Asking Prices Are a Win for Buyers Chart

If affordability has been the biggest thing standing between you and a home, there’s a little bit of good news.

Asking prices have started to ease – the typical asking price this May came in under where it was a year ago.

And these lower prices are good news for your move – not a sign the market’s in trouble. It points to a market that’s rebalancing with more realistic seller expectations and a little more breathing room for buyers again.

So, if you’ve been waiting for an opening, let’s connect. I’ll help you see what that looks like in our area.

What’s Ahead for the Housing Market for the Rest of 2026

One of the biggest questions I’m getting right now is: “What’s going to happen with the housing market in the second half of the year?”

And it makes sense why everyone is asking.

Affordability is tight. Rates feel high. Prices do too.

And people want to know if the second half of the year is going to be better.

Here's the honest answer. A lot of it depends on what happens with inflation – and the lingering uncertainty overseas. But even in today’s market, there’s opportunity, if you know where to look.

Want a breakdown of what’s impacting the market, where experts think things could go from here, and what you can actually do about it?

A better price makes this private paradise even more irresistible 🌴🏡✨

After 27 years in real estate, I received my first closing gift from a client today…and I have to admit, it meant more than I can put into words. ❤️

Helping people buy and sell homes has always been about so much more than the transaction for me. It’s about the relationships and being a part of such an important chapter in their lives.

To my wonder clients (who are now also my neighbors😊), thank you Jenna and Liam for this thoughtful gift and for allowing me to be part of your journey. Your kindness truly made my day. 🏡✨
