2026 Kicks Off with Lower Rates and New Opportunities

Wanted to pop on with some great news… For the first time in THREE YEARS, Interest rates are now under 6%!! The Fed is signaling we will see another series of drops this year. My hope is- eventually- we will be closer to 5% at some point. Fingers crossed it’s soon.

What does that mean? Well, it means that there will be a lot more buyers come into the market. It may also start motivating sellers who are ready to upsize or downsize. Regardless of buying or selling, a plan is important. I have been honored to meet with so many of you (and your friends… thanks for those referrals) on your real estate goals. I can’t wait to see how they pay off!

If you are thinking of re-financing… I would wait a little longer. Your time is coming soon though, so start prepping!

I am kicking this year off with a bang- and on the host committee for an incredible event from Lifeway Network and Bedford Books. Please see information below and all the great work they are doing! I am bringing the husband AND staying for the afterparty. Join in on the fun here!
