Blythe Romo Realty

Remember when sellers could basically respond to every buyer request with a simple “No thanks”? 😏
Those days are mostly behind us.

Today’s market is giving buyers a little more room to negotiate, and smart sellers are paying attention. In fact, many sellers are helping with closing costs or offering other concessions to get their home sold.

Does that mean you should automatically say yes to every request? Absolutely not.

It just means negotiation is back on the menu. 🏡

The key is knowing which requests make sense, which ones don’t, and how to keep the deal moving while protecting your bottom line.

A 3% mortgage rate in 2026? 👀

No, that’s not a typo.

Join me this Saturday & Sunday from 2-4 PM at 12800 Herringbone Way in Rancho Cordova and check out one of the most exciting opportunities on the market right now.

✨ Only 5 years old
✨ Located in the highly sought-after Elk Grove School District
✨ And the real showstopper: a 3% assumable loan

If you’re wondering what that means, it’s simple: qualified buyers may be able to take over the seller’s existing loan at their ultra-low interest rate instead of today’s higher rates. Translation? Potentially lower monthly payments and serious long-term savings. 💰

The house is gorgeous. The loan is even prettier.

Come see it for yourself this weekend. 🏡💁🏻‍♀️

The headlines love the drama, but real estate is a little more nuanced than that. 💁🏻‍♀️

Yes, rates have ticked up. No, that’s not exactly the news buyers were hoping for. But rates are only one piece of the affordability puzzle.

Here’s what isn’t making headlines:
✨ Wages are growing faster than home prices.
✨ Home values have remained relatively stable.
✨ Buyers have more options and negotiating power than we’ve seen in years.

Could rates come down? Maybe. Will anyone accurately predict when? Not likely.

If buying makes sense for your life and your budget today, then waiting for the “perfect” rate could mean putting your plans on hold for who-knows-how-long.

The best move isn’t based on headlines—it’s based on your numbers.

Curious what that looks like for you? Send me a message and let’s run the numbers. No pressure, no sales pitch, just real talk. 🏡

In today’s market, sometimes the smartest financial decision is bringing a plus one 💁‍♀️✨

In this economy, people are buying homes with best friends, siblings, long-term partners, and honestly… I support the teamwork.

Nearly 1 in 3 buyers today are co-buying, because let’s be real — pooling resources is a lot smarter than sitting on the sidelines waiting for the market to magically get cheaper. A combined income can mean a stronger offer, more buying power, lower monthly costs, and actually getting your foot in the door sooner.

And before anyone panics: yes, there are ways to protect everyone involved. Contracts exist. Boundaries exist. We’re being strategic, not reckless. 💅

Moral of the story?

If buying solo feels out of reach right now, you might not need to give up on homeownership… you might just need a teammate.

Questions about co-buying? My DMs are open. 🏡✨
