Higher mortgage rates are making it harder for buyers to justify those monthly payments, so many are choosing to wait on the sidelines. At the same time, pending sales have lost momentum\u2014fewer folks are moving from browsing to actually making offers. On the flip side, homeowners with lower, locked-in rates aren\u2019t eager to list their homes and give up that advantage. The result is a true housing stalemate: buyers are holding out for better terms, sellers are reluctant to part with their current loans, and overall transactions have slowed to a crawl. Through it all, my goal remains steady: to offer you the integrity, knowledge, and professional service you deserve as you navigate this challenging landscape.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After 27 years as a full-time REALTOR here in Colorado, I\u2019ve seen the market shift in all sorts of ways\u2014but right now, we\u2019re experiencing a unique kind of standstill.
