There has been a lot of positive news lately about the housing market, and overall, I believe much of it is supported by the data. That said, I also think many of the headlines are written as marketing pieces designed to encourage buyers and sellers to jump back into the market.

Here are a few areas where I think the forecasts deserve a little more context:

• Mortgage rates are not driven by oil prices alone. While lower energy prices can help reduce inflation, mortgage rates are influenced much more by bond markets, inflation expectations, Federal Reserve policy, and the overall economy.

• Affordability remains the biggest challenge. Even if mortgage rates ease slightly, home prices are still historically high in many areas, so monthly payments will remain a hurdle for many buyers.

• Real estate is local. National headlines don't tell the whole story. Here in the Pacific Northwest, market conditions can vary significantly by county and even from one town to the next. That's why national averages should never be used to estimate the value of an individual home.

• Home prices are still expected to appreciate, just modestly. Most national forecasts call for home values to increase approximately 1.2% to 2% during 2026. While that's a healthy sign for the market, it's a far cry from the double-digit appreciation we experienced during the pandemic years.

• More buyers may return, but don't expect a frenzy. There is significant pent-up demand, and lower rates could bring more buyers into the market. However, today's buyers are more cautious, negotiate harder, and take longer to make decisions than they did a few years ago.

• Inventory is improving, but we're not back to a balanced market everywhere. More homes on the market means buyers have more choices, but inventory levels still vary greatly from one region to another.

My outlook for the second half of 2026 is cautiously optimistic. I expect a healthier, more balanced market than we've seen over the past couple of years, but not a return to the rapid appreciation and bidding wars of 2021.

As always, don't make real estate decisions based solely on national headlines. The best advice comes from understanding what's happening in your local market and how those conditions apply to your specific goals.

If you're curious about what the market looks like in Pierce, South King, North Thurston, or North Lewis County, I'd be happy to share what I'm seeing on the ground.

💰INCREASED STATE, LOCAL, AND PROPERTY TAX BREAKS FOR HOME OWNERSHIP!

With rising rents and higher home prices, many people are questioning whether homeownership still makes financial sense. What many do not realize is that there is tax advantages tied to owning a home that can help offset part of the overall cost of homeownership.

Recent tax law changes may create additional opportunities for both current homeowners and future buyers to discuss with their accountant or tax professional, including:

• Increased SALT deduction limits for qualifying households
• Potential deductions for mortgage interest and property taxes
• Mortgage insurance premiums expected to become deductible again beginning with the 2026 tax year for qualifying buyers using lower down payment loan programs

For some homeowners, these deductions may make itemizing worthwhile again and could positively impact their overall financial picture.

If you are currently renting and wondering whether owning may be more affordable than you think, this is a conversation worth having.

If you already own a home, now may also be a good time to revisit your tax strategy with your accountant to make sure you are taking advantage of every benefit available to you.

I cannot give tax or legal advice, so please speak directly with your CPA or tax professional regarding your specific situation. If you do not currently have an accountant you trust, I am happy to share the contact information for mine.

If you have been sitting on the fence about buying a home because of monthly payments, down payment concerns, or simply not knowing where to start, give me a call. I am happy to walk you through the process, connect you with trusted local lenders, explain what it takes to buy a home, and help you explore whether homeownership may make more financial sense than you realized while these potential tax advantages are available.

Homeownership is not just about having a place to live. It is about building long-term stability, equity, and future opportunity.

I invite you to personally walk this stunning home where mornings begin with Mt. Rainier glowing across the horizon and evenings end beneath endless stars, this extraordinary 20-acre retreat captures everything people dream about when they picture life in the Pacific Northwest.

Tucked above the Nisqually River Valley and surrounded by miles of managed timberland, this custom-crafted Eatonville property was built for those who crave freedom, adventure, privacy, and space to truly live.

Wake up to crisp mountain air. Sip coffee while deer and elk wander nearby. Spend your afternoons exploring private trails leading to the river, riding horseback along community bridle trails and miles of seasonal accessible timberlands. Here, your backyard is not measured in feet, but in acres of possibility.

This is the kind of property where hobbies finally have room to breathe.

Bring the horses. Build the dream shop. Create the hobby farm. Store the toys. Plant the garden. Raise chickens and goats. Gather around bonfires after long summer days. Watch the game with friends in the theatre rec-room, then unwind in the sauna before heading out beneath a sky untouched by city lights.

Inside, warm Northwest craftsmanship fills every corner with rich wood detailing, hand-crafted cabinetry, solid surfaces, soaring spaces, and expansive windows framing the beauty surrounding you. Designed for both everyday comfort and memorable gatherings, the home balances rustic warmth with functionality.

The lower level was made for entertaining and flexible living. A theater setup, recreation space, wet bar, fitness area with sauna, full bath, and 4th flex bedroom create the ideal setup for guests, multigenerational living, game-day celebrations, or unforgettable movie nights.

Every detail supports the lifestyle this property was designed to offer.

320-amp service allows room for future expansion.
Private well.
Auto-start generator.
Underground propane tank.
Storage garage with direct lower-level access.
Surround sound throughout bedrooms and main living areas.
New heat pump.
50-year roof.

Outside, the land unfolds with open pastures, towering evergreens, dramatic Mt. Rainier and valley views, plus complete privacy rarely found this close to modern conveniences.

This is not simply a home.
It is a basecamp for adventure.
A gathering place for generations.
A place to build, create, explore, and slow down.
A property that invites you to live differently.

Peaceful.
Private.
Wildly beautiful.

Welcome to your PNW lifestyle retreat!

💖There is just something special about an old homestead that instantly makes you slow down and appreciate the life that was lived there before us.

This beautiful 1930’s home was completely remodeled from the foundation up, but what I love most is how much care was taken to preserve the heart of it. The original wood floors, the stone walls, the reused exterior siding to make the handcrafted cabinets and trim… you can feel the love and respect that went into every decision. It does not feel like a “remodel.” It feels like the home was brought back to life!

And I could go on and on about the original barn and the little 100+ year old one bedroom home still standing on the property. The whole place just feels full of stories
My clients have been part of the Ashford and surrounding area for years, so it makes me incredibly happy to see them finally putting down roots here and officially calling this beautiful town home. I already know they are going to do amazing things with this property and for our town! And honestly, I cannot wait to watch the next chapter for this homestead, as well.

Now onto the home inspection! Send us all your good vibes and happy thoughts!

Spring market update for Pierce County and the surrounding areas. The numbers are telling a very clear story right now.

Buyer activity is strong across almost every price range, even with interest rates sitting around 6.125%. Homes priced correctly and presented well are still moving quickly, especially in the $350,000 to just under $1M range where over half of the new listings are going pending within the first 30 days.

What stands out to me most is that buyers have not disappeared. They have simply become more selective. The homes getting the most attention are the ones that are clean, well prepared, professionally marketed, and positioned correctly from day one.

This is exactly why pricing is not “just a number.” It is a strategy.

I am also seeing many sellers hesitate because they are waiting for rates to drop. The reality is, if rates do come down significantly, we will likely see even more buyers flood back into the market, creating heavier competition for sellers on the purchase side.

For anyone thinking about selling this spring or summer, May through early July is traditionally one of the strongest windows of the year. Buyers want to get settled before fall, before school starts, and before holiday season distractions begin.

If you are curious where your home would fit in today’s market, I am always happy to have a no pressure conversation. Call me at 253-576-4100 or email at [email protected]
