Today I’m jumping on a slippery slope… I’m seeing so much talk about what we are expecting out of the new administration, and what impact it could have on interest rates. I get it – some of these topics are very controversial and we don’t understand the fallout that it could have in the future. […]
Think It’s Too Expensive to Downsize Your House? Don’t Forget About CA Prop 19
Today I’m talking about a scenario that I am dealing with right now. It’s a really great reminder, because there are a lot of people who don’t know this. In California, under Prop 19, if at least one of the homeowners is 55+ years old and you want to buy a different house, you can […]
The Fed is Already Disobeying Orders! Does it Even Matter?
It’s Fed Day, and The Fed just made their announcement. The market has been expecting that The Fed was going to pause on the Fed Funds Rate reduction, and that’s what happened. Of course, there has been a lot of talk from the current administration that they are going to pressure him to reduce rates. […]
If You Were in Charge, What Would You Do?
If you’ve been watching the news, then you’ve probably seen that President Trump is at it already. One of the executive orders about affordability specifically mentions housing.

Remember When We Thought the Fed Cutting Would Help Mortgage Rates?
Do you remember awhile back when we were anticipating The Fed dropping the funds rate and we would see mortgage rates come down? Here’s what’s happening: now, The Fed dropped rates again today – the third time they’ve dropped it. Guess what: mortgage rates are significantly higher compared to when they started cutting rates! It’s […]
Blame it on AI
In today’s video, I’m excited to have a special guest: my daughter! Earlier today, we were talking about an article I found that shared how mortgage declines are way up compared to this time last year. Maddy works in technology and mentioned that it could have something to do with AI. Understanding How AI Plays […]
Where You Get Your Solar Matters – A Lot!
It’s been awhile since I’ve talked about solar, but I feel like it’s worth a mention because it’s become a big deal in the real estate business.

Are You Seriously Still Waiting?
Over the last 2 – 3 years, it’s interesting to look at the numbers considering the fact that many people are waiting to buy a house. As I’ve said many times recently: I get it, houses are expensive and house payments are high. But I’m thinking about people who are actually ready to buy a […]
