Exciting news! Our daughter, Alexis (many of you know her as Ali) is participating in the LA Marathon this March.

Ali has put in a lot of hard work and many miles training in preparation for this event.

As part of this, Ali is raising funds to support the non-profit organization CORE at a critical time when organizations that provide assistance to those in need are struggling to meet the demand.

If you can, please take a moment to offer any help you can so Ali can reach her goal, and in doing so wish her the best of luck in the quest to cross the finish line while helping those in need.

I’m running the Los Angeles Marathon for CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort) because in a moment when the U.S. government has stepped back from providing both comprehensive domestic support and international humanitarian aid, I want to empower o...

Mortgage rates have been the monster under the bed for a while. Every time they tick up, people flinch and say, “Maybe I’ll wait.” But here’s the twist. Waiting for that perfect 5-point-something rate could end up haunting your wallet later.

With home prices still projected to rise in many markets, holding out for lower rates could end up costing you more in the long run. Once rates dip below 6%, expect more buyers to rush back into the market. That means tighter inventory, stiffer competition, and less room to negotiate. In addition, waiting for a rate below 6% may not save you as much as you may think.

Here’s the good news—rates are already at their lowest point all year, dropping to 6.19% for the week ending October 23rd, with another Fed rate cut expected soon. However, according to Zillow, rates are projected to hover in the 6–7% range.

Let’s work together to make sure you’re positioned for success in this new era. Learn more on my website at www.SkipSellsHomes.com, and let’s get to work!

As the leaves start to turn and the air gets a little crisper (at least in some places!), the real estate market is shifting too—and not just in subtle ways. 

Buyers are rethinking their strategies, sellers are adjusting expectations, and agents like myself are staying sharp to guide clients through what’s becoming a very dynamic landscape.

Working closely with both buyers and sellers, I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to offer clear, honest advice—especially now, as we head into the final quarter of 2025.

Yes, interest rate cuts have sparked some optimism. But the real number to watch? The Treasury rate. It’s the key to unlocking better mortgage options for buyers and motivating sellers who’ve been sitting on the sidelines for the past couple of years. Still, with economic uncertainty and employment concerns lingering, it’s hard to say whether we’ll see a meaningful shift in inventory or pricing anytime soon.

Here’s the truth: in a market like this, having an agent who communicates openly and doesn’t sugarcoat things is essential. There’s a lot of noise out there—some agents and brokers are painting a picture of a quick rebound. 

But the reality is more nuanced.

Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make. That’s why it’s so important to look at all the factors—market timing, pricing strategies, and compensation models—before making a move.

If your agent hasn’t talked to you about how the market is changing, let’s fix that. I’d love to chat and help you understand what’s really going on and how to position yourself for success.

Here are a few things I’m seeing right now:
1. 🏡 Buyers are more selective than ever. Homes that would’ve had multiple offers a few months ago are now getting passed over.
2. ❌ Contract cancellations are up. Buyers are walking away over small issues—something we weren’t seeing earlier this year.
3. 📉 Sellers are pulling listings. If they’re not getting the price they want, many are choosing to wait it out. Even well-priced homes aren’t guaranteed to sell.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling or just want to understand what’s happening in today’s market, let’s talk.

The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rate fell to a 10-month low this week, down to 6.56%.

Combined with the Federal Reserve’s hints of a rate cut at the September meeting, this week’s news may lead to an increase in homebuyers’ enthusiasm after the holiday weekend if the declining trend continues.

Realtor.com takes a closer look at the housing market this summer. Inventory is on the rise, giving buyers more choices, while sellers are navigating how to position their homes competitively. Affordability challenges remain, but strong equity and the potential for future rate relief point to encouraging opportunities ahead. Change is in the air, and balance may finally be on the horizon.

Buyers, sellers, and builders are emerging from this summer feeling stymied due to a mix of high costs, elevated interest rates, and sluggish demand.
