Confused by Home Price Headlines? Here’s Why.

National headlines can’t tell you what your home is worth or how much room you have to negotiate. Local data can. If you’re thinking about buying or selling, let’s look at how prices are moving in your area, so you can set your price or make your offer with confidence.

Why There are More Homes for Sale Right Now (and What It Means for You)

In many places right now, inventory is growing and homes are taking a bit longer to sell. And that’s information that should shape the strategy you use going in.

Whether you're buying or selling, let's look at how long homes are taking to sell in your neighborhood, so your offer, or your price, fits today's market.

Mortgage rates being back above 7% isn't exactly the news most people wanted. But it’s changing the market in ways that matter whether you’re buying or selling.

10/14/2026

Same time of year. 2 very different stories. And mortgage rates are a big reason why.

Last fall, mortgage rates came down and the number of homes for sale barely budged. This fall, rates have climbed above 7%. Some buyers have pulled back, homes are taking longer to sell, and instead of coming off the market, more listings are sticking around.

Since August, the number of homes for sale has grown by about 25,000. So, what does that mean for you?

Buying? You’ve got more homes to choose from and potentially more room to negotiate on price, repairs, or closing costs.
Selling? Buyers have more options, so you’ve got to give them a reason to choose your house. That means getting the price right from day one and making sure your house stands out from the competition.

Want to know what this shift looks like where you live? Drop a comment or send me a DM, and let’s look at the local numbers together.

TWO homes. TWO different styles - COMING SOON 🏠🏠⤵️
Keep these on your radar…

1. 3 bedroom | 2 bathroom home in Dunkirk!
The property has over 3.5+ acres. An oversized 2car Garage. Privacy! A great kitchen perfect for entertaining or everyday family life. The home has vaulted ceilings making it very open, a covered front porch, and a patio outback with a new retaining wall. There is a barn out back for those that could make use of it for horses or if a barn is what you need. The above ground pool is an added bonus! 😁 The owners are sprucing up some things, trimming up trees, replacing a few items, and getting it ready for the market!!

2. 3 bedroom | 1.5 bathroom home in Saint Leonard! Bay side. Traditionally laid out with all of the bedrooms and bathrooms on the top level. Downstairs has a full, separate laundry/utility room, a functional wood burning stove perfect for saving $$ during the winter months, and an exit straight to the yard, perfect for pets or kids you need to keep contained. 😜
This split level home has a fully fenced in back yard and is super close to Flag Harbor Marina with access to the beach around the corner.
This home is getting a fresh reset with all new paint, new flooring in the kitchen, possibly a kitchen upgrade, and more. Tenants currently reside in the home, but the owner is working hard to get it market ready.

I can’t wait to show you what makes each one special. Stay tuned 🫶🏽

The Fed is raising the Fed Funds Rate to cool inflation, and that can keep upward pressure on mortgage rates for a while. But you can still make a move that works for you.

It just takes the right strategy.

Buyers need to know their real budget at today's rates. Sellers need a price and plan that fits what buyers can afford right now.

Relief on rates could take some time. If you're thinking about a move, let's put together a game plan built for today's rates, so you'll know your next step.

Myth vs. Reality: Does the Fed Control Mortgage Rates?

The Fed doesn’t set mortgage rates, but its hikes can keep them higher for a while. The goal is to bring inflation, and eventually rates, down over time. With more hikes likely this year, waiting may not pay off. So, let's map out a plan that works at today's rates.

You've probably heard the Federal Reserve (the Fed) is raising rates again. And if you're planning to buy or sell a house, you may be wondering what that means for you.

Another Happy Seller 😁

There’s nothing better than getting to the finish line and knowing our sellers can officially close this chapter and the new homeowners get to start theirs. 3730 Thunder Hill Dr. is officially SOLD! This one was such a beautiful property, sitting on nearly 5 acres in Prince Frederick, and we’re so happy to see it passed on to its new owners.

A huge thank you to our sellers for trusting Jeremy and me, and Burch Property Group, to represent you throughout this process. We never take that trust lightly.

& Congratulations to the new owners!! We hope this home brings you years of amazing memories, happiness, and plenty of reasons to love where you live.

Another closing, another set of clients taken care of, and another reminder of why we love what we do. 🖤

Thinking about buying or selling in Southern Maryland? We’d love to help you put a plan together for your next move.
