Foreclosures are up from last year. But that doesn’t mean the market is about to be flooded with homes for sale.

Even with the increase, completed foreclosures are still about 30% below pre-pandemic levels. And the supply of homes for sale is in a balanced range – not dangerously oversupplied. So this isn’t like it was back in 2008 when foreclosures overwhelmed the market.

And equity is one big reason why.

Nearly two in three homeowners have paid off their mortgage or have more than 50% equity. So, if they hit a rough patch, many can sell instead of facing foreclosure.

This isn’t 2008 all over again – no matter what the headlines may say.

Completed foreclosures are up 33% from last year, and that headline is making a lot of people nervous. The data tells a much calmer story.

Today’s numbers are still a small fraction of what the market saw during the 2008 crash. And they aren’t flooding the market with homes for sale.

Right now, there’s about 4.8 months’ supply of homes for sale, according to the National Association of Realtors. Four to six months is considered balanced. In the years around the crash that ballooned up to 12 months.

So why isn’t this turning into a repeat of 2008? Equity.

Nearly two in three homeowners have paid off their mortgage or have more than 50% equity.

Back in 2010, nearly one in four homes were underwater. Today, just 2% of homeowners are considered seriously underwater.

That cushion gives today’s homeowners options if they hit a rough patch, which means far fewer distressed sales.

Could the midterm elections mean lower mortgage rates? History gives us an interesting reason to keep an eye on what happens next.

The election is bringing us a divided government. That means the President and Congress won't be controlled by the same political party.

And here's what's interesting: in 4 of the last 5 midterm elections that led to divided government, the 30-year fixed mortgage rate was lower one year later.

Does that mean rates are guaranteed to fall this time? No.

Inflation, the economy, and the Federal Reserve still have a much bigger influence on where mortgage rates go. And the historical declines weren't all the same size.

But rates have edged down slightly over the past few weeks. So, it'll be interesting to see whether history repeats itself.

Want to know if this trend continues and what it could mean for your next move? Follow along for updates.

Bidding wars. Offers over asking. For years, sellers had the upper hand in most major markets. Now, two-thirds of the top 100 metros favor buyers – up from almost none in 2021. The balance of power in the housing market is shifting. And where you live can completely change your strategy. Because it’s not happening everywhere. Want to know where your local market stands? Let’s chat.

If you’re seeing headlines about the “silver tsunami” in housing, you should know it’ll be more of a slow tide than a sudden flood.

About 13.9 million homes owned by older Americans are expected to change hands by 2036 – that’s true. But that works out to roughly 1.3 to 1.5 million a year, spread over the next decade.

And since the country hasn’t built enough homes to keep up with demand in the years following the housing crash, those sales will help close a gap that’s already there. Not overwhelm the market.

So don't let a dramatic national headline scare you - especially if you’re thinking of selling.

What matters far more is what's happening in your local market. How many houses are for sale nearby? What are buyers looking for? And what are similar houses actually selling for?

Those are the numbers that should shape your selling strategy.

Curious what the market looks like in your neighborhood? Let's take a look.

What if you could make your house more attractive to buyers without lowering your asking price?

With 43% of sellers cutting prices right now, according to HousingWire, it's a question worth asking – especially because there's another way to give buyers what they really want: a lower monthly payment.

It's called a mortgage rate buydown. And the difference can be pretty remarkable.
Here's an example.

Let's say you're willing to offer a buyer $10,000 to help get your house sold.

A $10,000 price reduction could save that buyer about $70 a month.

But putting that same $10,000 toward a temporary mortgage rate buydown could save them roughly $500 a month in the first year.

Same amount from you. A much bigger impact on their immediate budget.

Now, those savings won't last forever with a temporary buydown. But for the right buyer, that upfront relief could be exactly what makes your house stand out.

Thinking about selling? Send me a message. Let's explore which incentives could attract buyers while protecting your bottom line.

Did the latest climb in mortgage rates take a bite out of your home budget and have you rethinking your move?

If you’re aiming for a $2,000 monthly payment, that rise in rates cut about $22,000 from what you can spend. That’s a lot.

But what if you could close the gap?While headlines focus on lost buying power, they’re not calling enough attention to how seller concessions can offset that blow.

More than 40% of homes for sale have had a price cut, and the typical cut on a median-priced home is around $18,000. That alone could win back most of what rates took.

And you could get back even more by asking for repair credits or closing cost help, too.

How much a seller will negotiate depends on the house and the area. Send a DM to find out how much of that $22,000 you could get back around here.
