If you've been waiting for the housing market to give buyers a break — June is looking like your moment.

Here's what's happening as the summer market opens up:
📈 More homes to choose from — inventory is sitting above year-ago levels
💰 Listing prices have eased year-over-year for 19 straight weeks (a record stretch), with more sellers pricing realistically from day one
📊 Mortgage rates are holding in the mid-6% range — and actually lower than they were a year ago
🤝 The takeaway: less bidding-war pressure, more room to negotiate
Smart buyers use a market like this to their advantage — and it starts with knowing your number.

Today, we honor the ones who never came home — so we could come home to ours. 🇺🇸

For every life laid down so that ours could be lived freely.

For every family who carries a name they'll never stop saying.

For every flag folded, every salute held, every grave marked with a story that ended too soon.

We remember.

Not just today. Always.

Affordability is shifting and most buyers haven't noticed yet.

Here's what this week's data is telling us:

17 weeks of price softening — sellers continuing to price more competitively to attract serious buyers

2,600+ down payment assistance programs nationwide — a new high, with more options than most first-time buyers realize exist

One caveat: mortgage rates moved sharply upward late last week — worth watching as we head into summer

The takeaway? Even with rates climbing, the broader affordability picture is opening up — especially for first-time buyers who think they "can't afford it yet."

Most homebuyers don't know about the DPA programs that exist in their state. Most assume rates and prices are out of reach without checking. Most are wrong.

If you've been waiting on the sidelines, this might be your window.
