Great advice from the Doctor. Bill I know this post is going to rub some people the wrong way. We have all been conditioned for our entire lives that the sun is our enemy. Stay out of the sun!

I have been doing some deep research into this whole topic and have found a lot of information that is incorrect, misleading, and downright troubling. Now, don't shoot the messenger here and just move along if you are a sunscreen-loving person. This post is probably not for you. The sun is NOT our enemy. The problem is many will flock outside on the first sunny day of Spring or Summer and try to take it all in with one, extended sitting. If you have not be... 04/26/2025

Real estate can often feel like the weather—unpredictable, ever-changing, and influenced by various external factors. Just as a sunny day can quickly turn into a thunderstorm, the real estate market can shift rapidly based on economic conditions, interest rates, and consumer sentiment.As I sat at my desk today, the sky was sunny blue and a very comfortable 70 degrees.

The weather can change anytime, just like the real estate market. It's not good or bad weather. It's just weather! It is how it is perceived.In many markets, spring is synonymous with a surge in activity, akin to the blooming of flowers. Buyers come ... 04/26/2025

It’s TRUE.Buying a home is about playing the long game — not trying to hit some "perfect moment" where prices magically drop and rates are dreamy. Spoiler alert: that unicorn moment? It rarely shows up.Here’s what a lot of people don’t realize:The longer you wait, the more buying a home could cost you. And you deserve to know why.Experts (think over 100 serious housing pros who eat market trends for breakfast) are all saying the same thing: home prices are projected to keep rising through at least 2029.Not crazy jumps like we saw during the frenzy years — but a good, solid, healthy 3-4% each year.  Slow and steady wins the race... and builds your ... 04/26/2025
