Navigating a Shifting Market: Don't Let Opportunity Pass You By!

Zoom, Zoom—Let’s Shift Gears.

I want to share something with you—a personal moment that’s been weighing on me. Lean in. Maybe telling you will help relieve some of this stress…

In the past 10 days, three of my buyers have been outbid. That’s right—three. We toured homes that matched their criteria almost perfectly: the right number of bedrooms, the ideal location, the right price, and the square footage. Everything lined up. We toured, discussed offer details, and strategized. I made calls, gauged the interest of the competing buyers, and reconvened with my clients. We sent out our highest and best offers, and despite all that—they were still outbid.

The kicker? While these homes were flying off the market, the agents from the other homes we toured started calling me back —with reverse offers, incentives, floorplans, and renderings. My clients just weren’t interested.

It’s time to pivot.

We all wanted lower rates, right? Well, now that they’ve dipped, it’s driving prices up fast, and competition is fierce. But not all homes have the same level of demand—at least not right now.

That’s why my focus is always on my clients' success. I’m here to help you manage expectations, gauge your risk tolerance, and most importantly—make sure you don’t get fatigued by this market. It’s a fast-paced ride, but with the right strategy, we’ll get there together.

If you’re planning to buy and are waiting for rates to drop even more, think about what paying $50k-$100k over list price or settling on a home you don’t truly love, might look like. You don’t want to miss a great opportunity by waiting too long.

And sellers now’s the time to make sure your home shines. I’m encouraging prospective sellers to take advantage of my Home Concierge Service, where I’ll handle all repairs and updates before my marketing team creates a “picture-perfect” digital campaign for your listing.

Let’s shift gears together and win in this market!
