WHAT THE SPRING 2026 HOUSING MARKET IS ACTUALLY TELLING US:

Every spring you'll see headlines about the housing market "heating up." This year, the real story is more interesting — and more honest. If you're even thinking about selling in the next 12 months, this is worth a read.

Here's what the data actually shows for March 2026:

📊 National median list price: $415,450 — down 2.2% year-over-year, the fifth straight month of year-over-year price declines, per Realtor.com's March 2026 market report.
📊 Active inventory is up 8.1% year-over-year and now sits at 964,477 listings. For perspective, that's 172% higher than March 2022.
📊 Median time on market is 57 days, up 4 days year-over-year — the 24th consecutive month of homes taking longer to sell than a year earlier.
📊 16.2% of listings cut their price in March — and in the South specifically, that number jumps to 18.4%.
📊 Here in Texas, the slowdown is sharper. Austin's median list price is down 7.9% year-over-year, and DFW median days on market sits at 48 days — up from last spring.
📊 Meanwhile, foreclosure activity is moving in the other direction: Q1 2026 foreclosure starts were up 20% year-over-year, with completed foreclosures up 42% in March alone, according to ATTOM's Q1 2026 report.

Put all of that together and you get a market that is:

🏡 Softening on price — sellers can no longer assume last year's comps.
🏡 Slower to move — expect 50–90 days on market, not 10–20.
🏡 More expensive to carry — every month of delay is a month of mortgage, tax, and insurance.
🏡 Pricing more realistically upfront — the days of "list high and cut later" are ending.

What this means for sellers in plain English: the MLS route still works, but the margin for error is a lot thinner than it was. A home that would have sold itself in 14 days in 2022 now needs to be priced precisely, staged well, and carried for two to three months of showings.

For some homeowners, that's fine. For others — especially if you have low equity, a condition issue, a time pressure, or just want your life back — an off-market sale often nets more actual dollars once you back out commissions, concessions, and carrying costs.
We run the math both ways. If the MLS is genuinely the better route for you, I'll say so out loud. If an off-market sale or a terms deal keeps more in your pocket, we can make that happen too.

Peace and blessings,

Foreclosure numbers are climbing again in 2026 — but that doesn’t automatically mean we’re reliving 2008. It DOES mean you can’t afford to ignore the warning lights blinking on your mortgage dashboard.

According to recent data from ATTOM and other national trackers, U.S. foreclosure filings are up year‑over‑year in early 2026, with certain states and metro areas seeing especially sharp increases. At the same time, a lot of housing analysts are calling this phase a “reset,” not a crash. Home values are still relatively strong, but more distressed properties are quietly entering the pipeline. Banks are moving forward aggressively on delinquent loans, after several years of pandemic-era leniency... and once the legal process is in motion, options shrink with every week that passes.

If you are a homeowner with a mortgage and months of delinquent payments, what does this dynamic mean for you?

👉 It means that, until your house hits the auction block, you still have equity that can protect your credit and your future — but missed payments, late fees, and legal costs can chew through that safety net faster than most people realize.

👉 It means gone are the days where lenders let 6, 7, 8 months of unpaid mortgage to go by without consequences. Without intentional arrangements in place to delay their wrath, lenders are now coming for delinquent homeowners in 60-90 days. You DON'T have time to put your head in the sand and pretend it resolves itself on its own.

‼️Here’s the hard truth I see over and over: most people don’t lose their house because there were no options. They lose it because life got chaotic, the mail got scary and depressing, and they waited just a little too long to reach out for help.

This is our specialty!

At Savanna Buys Houses, my goal is not to swoop in at the last second and lowball you on the courthouse steps. My goal is to talk to you BEFORE the foreclosure clock runs out, while you still have choices. I look at your specific situation — your loan, your timeline, your stress level — and we explore whether selling your home to me could:

⏰ Restore you to good standing and stop the proceedings.

📊 Protect your credit from the atomic bomb of foreclosure.

💰 Turn your remaining equity into breathing room instead of watching it vanish (breaks my heart when this happens to people!).

🚪 Give you a clean, customized exit out of a tough house situation, and help you get a fresh start.

Sometimes, a conversation reveals that another option (like a loan modification with your lender or listing with an agent) truly serves you better. And I will tell you that. The goal isn’t “buying your house at all costs.” The goal is helping you land on your feet in the best financial position possible.

If you’re starting to see the early signs — late notices, collection calls, scary letters, or just that knot in your stomach every time you think about your mortgage — this is your window. You still have time and you still have choices, even if it doesn’t feel that way right now. And you absolutely don’t have to sort through them by yourself.

If any of this hit a nerve, reach out and let’s have an honest conversation about your house and your situation. One conversation now could spare you a whole lot of pain later.

🕊️ WHY PURSUING A TRADITIONAL HOME SALE ISN'T ALWAYS IN YOUR BEST INTEREST 🕊️

At Savanna Buys Houses™, our mission is simple: bring peace back into the home-selling process. That means being honest about the challenges of the “normal” route — and offering you a better option.

🕊️ Let’s talk about what you face when you list with a traditional realtor:

✔️ You’re paying real people with real fees:
In 2025, the average combined commission for listing and buyer’s agent sits right around 5.4 – 6 % of your home’s sale price, and that is paid for by you, the seller. That means if you sell a $400,000 home, you could easily spend $20,000–$24,000 simply on commissions. On top of that, you are paying around 2% in closing costs to the title company, and most sellers get shackled with repair concessions that you either have to come up with cash to complete before the sale, or offer a reduction in sales price to accommodate. When all is said and done, you have sacrificed 10% of the sale of your home when selling in the retail market. Unless you've been in your home for a significant amount of time and you've started paying down the principal of your mortgage, you're literally going to be paying out-of-pocket to sell your house. Ouch.

✔️ The market is not in your favor:
Homes aren’t flying off the shelves like they were a few years ago -- there is a surplus of homes on the market, compared to how many people are looking to buy. Long days on market and multiple reductions in price are a common experience for sellers in the retail market today. Every extra day your home sits unsold can mean more stress, more uncertainty, more carrying costs, and an under-value eventual sale.

✔️ Repairs, showings, cleaning, staging:
Beyond commissions, most traditional sales demand a long list of pre-sale costs. You’ll clean, decorate, fix, open your home repeatedly (often with no notice), and have to keep it spotless for months. It wears you out — especially if you’re already going through life transitions that eat up your bandwidth. This interrupt-driven cycle of hope followed by disappointment -- as potential buyers' feet get cold and funding falls through -- is taxing on a family routine, your pocketbook, and your mental well-being.

🕊️ Here’s how we do it differently:

At Savanna Buys Houses™, the goal is to take the weight off your shoulders—from start to finish.

🔑 No repair list. We buy your house as-is, regardless of condition.

🔑 No hidden fees or evaporating equity. The financial dynamics of your home sale will be transparent and simplistic.

🔑 Customized timeline. You decide your pace — sometimes the sale can close in just a couple of weeks.

🔑 Certainty. You’re not waiting on a buyer who might never materialize, back out, or demand crazy concessions just to sell your house. You're also not on pins and needles about an appraiser trying to devalue your home to manipulate the market -- your home's value will be determined scientifically and fairly.

🔑 Dignity maintained. You’re not a “listing.” You’re a client whose wellbeing matters. You won't be subjected to the violation of feeling exposed inside your own home as strangers walk through, judge, and look for reasons to pay less.

📌 Bottom line

When you list the regular way, you face losing 10% or more of your home’s value once you add up commissions, closing fees, repair concessions, and carrying costs of waiting for your home to sell.
With us, you keep more of your equity, avoid the exhausting showings, and move on with peace of mind. If you are willing to embrace creative financing solutions such as seller finance or lease options, we can meet or get super close to your asking price, without you suffering the sacrifice of paying all of those fees that eat up your profit.

If any of this resonates with you, please get in touch with us by visiting our website at www.savannabuyshouses.com or calling 682-321-9138. Even if you’re just exploring your options, we’ll walk you through it... no pressure, no hurry. You have nothing to lose by getting informed about whether selling off-market could put more money into your pocket and save you from unnecessary pain in the process. If keeping your home is something your heart really wants, but your financial situation looks bleak and selling seems the only option, we'll even counsel you about strategies to prevent foreclosure. We truly care about offering solutions, even if that means we don't buy your home or we find one of our trusted partners to do so. We humbly request the opportunity to earn your trust, and we look forward to hearing from you!

Peace and blessings,

😫 Are you feeling the weight of trying to sell your home in today’s sluggish retail market? We understand how overwhelming it can be to face a market that’s moving slower than ever, with homes lingering on the market and prices softening. At Savanna Buys Houses™️, we’re here to lift that burden and offer you a path to a peaceful solution - we're so committed to minimizing your stress that we put a dove in our logo. Selling your home doesn’t have to be an arduous ordeal, and we’re dedicated to helping you navigate this challenging time with compassion and expertise.

The current retail housing market is tough—here’s what homeowners are up against:

📅 Homes Are Sitting Longer: In May 2025, the median days on market for homes in the U.S. was 38 days, up 6 days from last year, with some areas like Pittsburgh seeing homes linger for 86 days on average.

〽️ Sales Are Slumping: Existing home sales dropped 0.7% year-over-year in May 2025, hitting a sluggish 4.03 million annual rate—the weakest May since 2009. New home sales fell even harder, down 13.7% in May, signaling a market freeze.

💸 Prices Are Cooling: While the national median home price was $440,892 in May 2025, year-over-year price growth slowed to just 0.6%, and some regions, like Denver, saw prices drop 1.7% year-over-year.

🏘 Inventory Is Piling Up: Unsold homes reached 2.1 million in May 2025, up 16.2% from last year, with a 9.8-month supply of new homes—well above the 6-month threshold that signals a buyer’s market.

These numbers paint a clear picture: selling through the traditional MLS market means enduring long waits, price reductions, and the stress of uncertainty. Add in the hassle of repairs, showings, and hefty realtor fees, and it’s no wonder homeowners are feeling stuck. Whether your home needs major repairs, you’re relocating, or you’re just tired of the market’s ups and downs, we know you’re craving a simpler way forward.

That’s where Savanna Buys Houses™️ steps in. As a family-owned business in Fort Worth, TX, we’re not cold corporate investors chasing dollar signs.

🔑 Fast Cash Offers: We provide fair, competitive offers within 24 hours of assessing your property. No waiting months for a buyer or risking a deal falling through.

🔑 Creative Finance Expertise: If a cash sale isn’t right for you, our expertise in creative financing means we can structure a terms strategy to fit your needs and suit your plans, and get you the most money possible for your house.

🔑 Flexible Solutions: — whether it’s a quick close in 14 days or a stretched timeline, or out-of-the-box problem solving that helps you wrap up your affairs... we're here for that.

🔑 No Fees, No Fuss: Say goodbye to realtor commissions, closing costs, or hidden fees. Our transparent process ensures you keep more of your money.

🔑 Compassionate Support: We understand the emotional toll of selling a home. Our team listens, empathizes, and works tirelessly to find a win-win solution, so you can move forward with confidence.

The retail market may be slow, but your fresh start doesn’t have to wait.

Gosh, this one is a sensitive topic, but it's so important to talk about...

After the loss of a loved one, you must operate on low resources while all of your energy is going to healing the wound in your heart.

Selling a house in probate can be a complex process, requiring time, effort, and financial resources that you may prefer to allocate differently during this period of adjustment. It's entirely possible that this home is in an entirely different state, making it incredibly difficult to manage, especially going the traditional route with a realtor. This is where we, as experienced real estate professionals, step in to provide a practical and considerate solution.

Our approach is built on empathy and understanding. We appreciate that your priority is not just a transaction, but finding a resolution that aligns with your needs and timeline. Here's why selling your house to us might be the right choice:

Simplicity: Navigating the legal and financial intricacies of a probate situation can be overwhelming. We have a deep understanding of probate procedures, and we'll handle the paperwork and details, making the process as smooth as possible for you.

Timeliness: We recognize that you may want to settle the estate efficiently. Our expertise enables us to expedite the sale, saving you both time and potential stress associated with the traditional market.

Flexibility: We understand that each situation is unique. Whether the property requires repairs, cleaning, or updating, we are prepared to work with the property as-is, sparing you from any additional burdens.

No Obligations: Our initial consultation comes with no obligations. We will provide you with a fair and transparent evaluation of your property's value and offer, allowing you to make the best decision for your situation.

Compassionate Approach: We are not stuffy corporate investors -- we are empathetic humans who genuinely care about your well-being. Our goal is to provide a solution that respects your needs and the memory of your loved one.

Financial Relief: We offer a cash purchase option, which can provide you with the financial relief you may need to settle the estate, pay off debts, or manage other immediate priorities.

We want you to know that we are here to support you. There is a dove in our logo for a reason: our clients' peace of mind is our top priority. We invite you to reach out for a conversation, even if it's just to gather information. We are dedicated to assisting you in making the most informed decision for your specific circumstances.

Warm regards,
