Headlines highlighting rising foreclosures have a way of stirring up 2008 flashbacks. But the data says not to panic.

We’re nowhere near what happened back then.

In the first half of 2008, foreclosures were filed on over 1.3 million homes. The first half of this year that number was less than 250k.

Now, seeing any homeowner go through this is hard. There’s no arguing that.

But just looking at the market as a whole, we’re a long way from crash territory – even with the recent uptick. So, don’t let the headlines stir up fear.

If you’ve been house-hunting lately, you know the struggle. High prices. And too few homes to choose from.

But this Summer, the tide may be turning in your favor.

Nationally, the median asking price is about $11,000 below where it was a year ago. A sign sellers are meeting buyers where they’re at.

And the number of homes for sale just hit its highest point for any June since 2022.

This doesn’t mean a crash is coming – lower list prices and more options just mean you have more room to find a home that fits your budget and your needs.

So, if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to buy, this might be it. Message me and let's look.
