The listings you're scrolling tonight were old news this morning.

The free national sites update when they get around to it. The search on my site pulls straight from the MLS every 15 minutes — every listing, including the Coming Soon ones the big sites won't show you until they're already spoken for.

You set the pace: alerts daily, weekly, or monthly, your call. See a home you like? One click books the tour. And when you want to know what a place will actually sell for, a human runs that number — not an algorithm guessing from three counties away.

Rates slipped — two weeks straight. Freddie Mac's Thursday survey: 30-year fixed at 7.24%, down from the 7.40% October peak. Honest math inside: on a $400K loan that's about $44/mo back — and still about $284/mo more than last year's buyers are paying on the same loan. Relief is real. Cheap money isn't back.

An algorithm does not know a busy street from a quiet cul-de-sac. It is confident. It is just not local.

My search gives you the full MLS — every listing, Coming Soon included, refreshed every 15 minutes — plus the thing the national sites cannot: a human valuation estimating what the home will actually sell for. One-click tours. Alerts on your schedule.

Search with a pulse — link in bio.

I rebuilt my home searches this weekend — the way I'd actually want them if I lived here.

The old way lumped all of Solano and Contra Costa into one list of 3,000+ homes. Useless. Nobody's commute is "somewhere in two counties."

So now there are three, drawn tight:

🏡 Southern Solano — Vallejo & Benicia, $450K–$800K: 268 homes
🏡 Northern Solano — Fairfield, Suisun City, Cordelia & Vacaville, $450K–$800K: 338 homes
🏡 Northern Contra Costa — the Carquinez shoreline only (Martinez, Hercules, Pinole, Rodeo, Crockett, Port Costa), $500K–$1.1M: 170 homes

Residential only, near the local median, updated from the MLS every 15 minutes — Coming Soon listings included. Pick your patch, set alerts at your pace, and stop scrolling homes you'd never drive to.

Links are in the first comment — start with the one that's actually your neighborhood.

House hunting should not feel like homework.

Every listing, updated every 15 minutes, Coming Soon included. The easiest search interface you will ever touch. You pick the alert rhythm — daily, weekly, monthly. One click to book a tour. And when a place catches your eye, a human tells you what it will actually sell for.

That is it. That is the pitch. Link in bio.

Monday market truth: the rate climb finally stopped — 30-year fixed held at 7.40% for the second straight week. Still the highest since November 2023, and about $301/mo more on a $400K loan than a year ago.

Meanwhile C.A.R.'s 2027 forecast calls next year "balanced" — then projects prices UP 1.4%, affordability frozen at 20%, and, in their words, a "continual shortage" that "should provide upward support for home prices." That's a seller's market wearing a balanced nametag.
