Early in Q3, US existing-home sales dipped 1.7% month-over-month, but still edged up 0.7% compared to last year\u2014a sign that, even as the market shifts, completed transactions are holding steady. Median home prices hit $434,100, continuing an impressive 37-month run of annual gains. That means many homeowners have seen their equity grow, giving you more options whether you\u2019re considering a move or just keeping tabs on your investment.<\/p>\n<p>Inventory remains tight, with 1.54 million homes on the market at the end of Early-Q3\u2014down 1.9% from the previous month and 0.6% from last year. For buyers, that\u2019s a cue to stay actively engaged and work with someone who knows how to spot opportunities when they arise. Despite higher prices, housing affordability has actually improved nationwide, so those prepared to act when value, timing, and selection align can still benefit. Mortgage rates are averaging in the high-6% range for a 30-year fixed loan, but any easing could further assist buyers as summer continues.<\/p>\n<p>With deep roots in Franklin, Brentwood, and across Williamson County, I\u2019ve seen cycles come and go\u2014and I know how to guide you through them. If you\u2019re weighing your next move, let\u2019s make the numbers work for you.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As someone who\u2019s spent over 30 years navigating the Williamson County real estate market, I keep a close eye on national trends that shape our local experience.
