Thinking of buying a home? 🏡 Mortgage rates just hit a 7-week low—30-year at 6.43% and 15-year at 5.79%! With more homes available and prices easing, is now the time to make your move? Let’s talk in the comments! 📉🤔

Looking ahead to next week, there’s a lot of valuable insight coming our way for anyone following the real estate landscape. We’ll see the release of the 2026 Hottest ZIP Codes, shedding light on which areas are drawing the most attention—a detail that always sparks my curiosity as someone who’s spent decades tracking market shifts. There’s also an in-depth look at how AI is shaping the housing market around data centers, plus the July Luxury Monthly Report for those interested in the upper end. We'll get the latest numbers on existing-home sales and the July consumer price index, along with Freddie Mac’s update on mortgage rates. With over 27 years as a full-time REALTOR and a commitment to integrity and service, I know staying on top of these reports helps me provide the best guidance to my clients as they navigate their next real estate steps.
