Your Life Should Drive the Move — Not Just the Market

May 10

If you’ve been watching the housing market, you’ve probably seen it all — hot takes on interest rates, shifting prices, and whether it’s a “good time” to buy or sell.

Here’s my take:
The best time to move is when it’s right for you.

Maybe you need more space. Maybe you want to stop renting. Maybe your family or financial goals have shifted. Whatever the reason, your situation matters more than any headline.

I’m here to guide you through your options — whether you’re ready now or just thinking ahead.

🛒 For Buyers: Focus on the Big Picture

With all the market noise, it’s easy to get stuck waiting for “perfect conditions.” But perfect is rare — and the longer you wait, the more you may spend on rent or miss out on building equity.

Here’s what really matters:

Are you financially ready for a mortgage that fits your lifestyle?
Do you want a home that works better for your day-to-day life?
Do you have a plan if the right house shows up?

💡 Tip: Inventory in OKC has increased significantly — there were over 5,000 active listings as of April 2025, up year-over-year.

This gives buyers more choices and, in many cases, more negotiating power — particularly in the mid-to-upper price tiers.

🏠 For Sellers: It's Not 2021 — But It's Still a Strong Market

If you’ve owned your home for a few years, you’ve likely built equity. Right now:

Buyers are still active, especially in well-priced homes
Clean, staged, move-in-ready listings are outperforming the market
The right pricing and marketing strategy can still lead to a fast, successful sale

Even with inventory up, homes in good condition and priced right are still moving. If you want help estimating your current home value or prepping for a summer listing, let’s talk.

💬 The Bottom Line

I stay on top of market trends — but at the end of the day, your goals, timing, and life plans matter more than interest rates or headlines. My job is to give you personalized guidance, not a one-size-fits-all strategy.
