Mortgage Rates Aren’t Backing Down Yet
No sugarcoating it—mortgage rates are holding steady near 7%, and unless inflation gets under control, we’re likely to see these levels stick around through the end of the year. If inflation stays high or the Fed decides on another hike, borrowing could get even pricier. Add in those wider mortgage-backed securities spreads, and there’s even more upward pressure on rates. A real drop? That’ll take steady progress on inflation, lower long-term yields, clear signals from the Fed, and tighter MBS spreads. For now, whether you’re buying, investing, or refinancing, consider today’s rates your planning baseline. Any future relief is a bonus—not a guarantee. That’s my direct take, shaped by years of helping clients navigate the ups and downs of this market.

Homebuyers Enjoy Greater Choice as Listings Reach Six-Year High
Right now, sellers are outpacing buyers by nearly 58%—the widest gap I’ve seen in years. Listings have jumped 3.9%, while buyers are only up by 0.1%. But high mortgage rates and prices are still keeping affordability tight, and inventory hasn’t been this high since 2020. Sales are slipping. I always give it to you straight: it’s a buyer’s market on paper, but the real story is more complicated. If you want honest, experience-backed insight—not the usual fluff—I’m here to cut through the noise like I always do.

Gen Z buyers lead every generation on affordability trade-offs
Gen Z buyers are showing real grit when it comes to homeownership. They're leading the pack on making affordability trade-offs—cutting back on spending and opting for smaller homes if it means they can get on the property ladder. Canadians seem the most willing to downsize, while British buyers hold out for more space. Having seen a few market cycles (and raised three kids of my own), I respect this kind of practical flexibility. It’s a reminder that a thoughtful, no-nonsense approach to your goals—especially with the right guidance—can make all the difference in any generation.

California Housing Market Forecast for the Next 2 Years: 2026-2028
Here’s a straight shot on where California’s housing market is headed through 2028: we’re looking at steady, moderate price growth—think 2.5% to 4% a year. More homes on the market and stable mortgage rates mean buyers have a bit more to choose from, but affordability is still a real hurdle. That’s why entry-level homes and the more budget-friendly neighborhoods are getting so much attention right now. After years in insurance marketing, I cut through the noise for my clients. If you want a clear read on what’s actually happening, I’m here to help you make sense of these shifts.

California Streamlines Small-Lot Home Approvals
California has introduced a streamlined path for small-lot home approvals—a move that could mean more opportunities for buyers looking for something different in our neighborhoods. Now, subdivisions with up to 10 homes on eligible infill sites can get ministerial approval within 60 days, as long as they meet the requirements. That means no lengthy environmental reviews or public hearings for qualifying projects, which is a major shift. In multifamily zones, each new small lot must be at least 600 square feet, and the average home size is capped at 1,750 net habitable square feet. For the 10-home limit, multifamily zones exclude ADUs and JADUs, while single-family zones only exclude JADUs. Los Angeles actually led the way on this years ago with a local ordinance, making compact ownership more accessible before the state got on board. The goal here is simple: open up more paths to homeownership. Whether these small-lot projects will truly serve as starter homes is still up for debate, but recent changes have also made it possible to redevelop vacant single-family lots. As someone who’s always straightforward with my clients—and who’s seen how these changes can affect real families—I’ll be watching closely to see how this evolves and what it really means for buyers.

What can Chicago tell us about real estate in Southern California?
It’s always interesting to compare Chicago’s real estate scene with what we experience here in Southern California. Chicago stays more affordable—thanks to more available land and a steady population. Meanwhile, in our corner of the country, prices keep climbing because demand keeps outpacing supply. Both regions are wrestling with how to keep housing reasonable and sustainable while still making room for growth. After years in business and plenty of repeat clients, I find that understanding these differences helps my clients make smarter choices—no fluff, just the facts.
