Lately, I’ve been hearing from both buyers and sellers about why things feel so stuck in our local housing market. With higher mortgage rates, buyers are finding that monthly payments just don’t make as much sense, so many are choosing to hold off. We’re also seeing pending sales slow down—fewer folks are making that jump from looking to actually making an offer. On the other side, a lot of homeowners are sitting tight, holding onto their lower-rate mortgages and not wanting to give up a good thing. This creates a real standstill: buyers are searching for more affordable payments, while sellers are reluctant to let go of those great rates. As someone who’s been part of this community for decades, I see how these decisions are shaping our market and the pace of transactions right now. Whether you’re navigating these challenges or just keeping an eye on the trends, I’m here in your corner—helping make sense of it all, one step at a time.
