Mortgage rates have taken a welcome dip, giving both homeowners and buyers an opportunity to act before the market heats up again.
The second quarter of 2025 brought a welcome dose of optimism to the housing and mortgage markets. After a slower start to the year, we’re now seeing conditions tilt more favorably for buyers, current homeowners looking to refinance, and real estate professionals helping clients navigate their options.
You may have seen a recent Redfin article, widely picked up by national news outlets, claiming there are half a million more sellers than buyers in today’s housing market. While the headline is attention-grabbing, the figures are based on questionable methodology and don’t reflect what’s actually happening in most markets.
The truth is, real estate continues to be one of the most reliable long-term investments available. According to Gallup’s latest annual report, Americans have voted real estate as the best long-term investment for the 12th year in a row. That confidence doesn’t come from market hype. It’s based on decades of steady appreciation and wealth-building through owning real estate.
Here is what our clients are saying.
