Houston’s June numbers are in — and “balanced” is the right word, but it doesn’t mean the same thing on every street. 🏡

Sales are up, pending contracts jumped 12.3%, and prices held essentially steady. But whether that translates into more negotiating room or a multiple-offer situation depends entirely on your neighborhood.

I break down what actually moved, what didn’t, and what it means if you’re buying or selling in Greater Houston, Mont Belvieu, or Baytown right now. Link in the post below. 👇

Checked mortgage rates yesterday. Checked them again this morning. They're up again, this time to 6.716% on the 30-year fixed.

That's not random. Rates have been climbing as tensions overseas keep pushing oil prices and inflation fears higher, and it's a perfect example of why chasing the "right time" to buy rarely works. Rates react to world events, not your local market.

Here's the good news. The Greater Houston & beyond still have healthy inventory, today's rate is still below the historical average going back to 1971, and getting pre approved now means you have real numbers instead of guesswork. You do not need the market to hold still. You just need to be ready when your moment comes.

I broke down exactly what is driving these swings and what smart buyers are doing right now. Link in comments 👇

Is it a buyer's market or a seller's market in Houston right now? 🤔 Honestly... it depends which side of I-10 you're standing on! 🏡

I work both of these corridors every single week, so I get to see this contrast up close. And it's exactly why I never want you making a big decision based on a national headline. Your street has its own story, and I want to help you understand it.

New blog post is up now with the full breakdown on both markets, what it means if you're buying or selling, and how to know which "mode" you should be in. Link in comments! 📲

🎆 Happy almost 4th of July, Houston! 🇺🇸

This year is EXTRA special. We're celebrating America's 250th birthday, and Greater Houston is going all out with fireworks, live music, and hometown celebrations you won't want to miss!
From Mont Belvieu's City Park celebration (hello, Pat Green! 🎶) to Freedom Over Texas downtown with Keith Urban, to a free symphony show under the stars at Miller Outdoor Theatre... there's something for every family this year. 🎇

I rounded up all the best spots to watch fireworks around Houston (plus a friendly reminder to check your homeowner's insurance before hurricane season peaks 👀) on the blog.

Wishing you a safe, happy, and firework-filled Fourth of July! Here's to 250 years of home, freedom, and the places we love. 🎆🏡

Do you love your mortgage rate but feel stuck in your house because of it? You are not alone! This is called the "golden handcuffs" effect, and it is impacting homeowners all across the Heights and the Mont Belvieu/Baytown area right now.

Here is what most people do not realize: there may be more flexibility than you think. If you have an FHA, VA, or USDA loan, it could be assumable, meaning a buyer can step right into your low rate. That is a powerful selling point in today's market! And if your loan is not assumable, there are still smart options like rate buydowns, strategic refinancing down the road, and tapping into equity you may not even know you have.

The "should I move or stay" decision is about more than just the rate. It is about your life, your growing family, and what fits you now.

If you have been on the fence, let's run your numbers together. Link in comments to read the full breakdown! 🏡

Last week's weather was a reminder that hurricane season isn't something to put off until the next forecast.

🌧️ As Tropical Storm Arthur moved across the Texas coast, many homeowners found themselves asking the same question:

"Is my home... and my insurance coverage... actually ready if the worst happens?"

If you live in Chambers County, Baytown, La Porte, or anywhere along the East Side, now is the time to review your coverage, document your belongings, and make sure your home is prepared before the next storm is on the radar.

I shared an article with a few simple reminders that every homeowner should know. A little preparation today can make a huge difference later.

📖 Give it a read, and if it helps, share it with someone who owns a home. It could save them a lot of stress when the next storm rolls in.

If you spent part of last week watching the radar more than usual, you weren't alone. Tropical Storm Arthur — the first named storm of the 2026 Atlantic season — made landfall near the Texas coast and put 101 counties under a state of emergency, with flood watches stretching across 16 million pe...

On the blog!

🏡 One of the questions I've been hearing more often lately is:

"Should I avoid new construction neighborhoods because they're overbuilt?"

The short answer? Not necessarily.

If you're thinking about buying a home, this is worth a quick read before you make any decisions. I cover what to look for, what matters most, and how to tell the difference between healthy growth and potential red flags. 👇

You've seen the headlines, the new model homes popping up every few months, maybe even a "price reduced" sign that wasn't there last week. So you're asking yourself a fair question: is there just too much new construction out here right now, and should that scare me off?Let me give you the real answ...

❓ Do I need 20% down to buy a home?

Nope!

Many buyers are surprised to learn there are loan programs that may allow much lower down payment options.

Every situation is different, which is why I always recommend having a conversation with a trusted lender before assuming homeownership isn't possible.

You may be closer than you think.

🏡 Thinking about buying a home this year?

One of the biggest mistakes I see buyers make is starting their home search before talking with a lender.

Getting pre-approved helps you:
✔️ Understand your budget
✔️ Strengthen your offer
✔️ Avoid surprises later

Whether you're buying in Mont Belvieu, Baytown, Houston Heights, or anywhere in between, having a plan makes the process much smoother.

Have questions about getting started? I'd be happy to help.
