Have Home Values Hit Bottom?
Whether you’re already a homeowner or you’re looking to become one, the recent headlines about home prices may leave you with more questions than answers. News stories are talking about home prices falling, and that’s raising concerns about a repeat of what happened to prices in the crash in 2008.
Think Twice Before Waiting for 3% Mortgage Rates
Last year, the Federal Reserve took action to try to bring down inflation. In response to those efforts, mortgage rates jumped up rapidly from the record lows we saw in 2021, peaking at just over 7% last October. Hopeful buyers experienced a hit to their purchasing power as a result, and some decided to press pause on their plans.
What Past Recessions Tell Us About the Housing Market
It doesn’t matter if you’re someone who closely follows the economy or not, chances are you’ve heard whispers of an upcoming recession. Economic conditions are determined by a broad range of factors, so rather than explaining them each in depth, let’s lean on the experts and what history tells us to see what could lie ahead.

Is It Time To Sell Your Second Home?
During the pandemic, second homes became popular because of the rise in work-from-home flexibility. That’s because owning a second home, especially in the luxury market, allowed those homeowners to spend more time in their favorite places or with different home features. Keep in mind, a luxury home isn’t only defined by price. In a recent article, Investopedia shares additional factors that push a home into this category: location, such as a home on the water or in a desirable city, and features, the things that make the home itself feel luxurious.
Today’s Housing Market Is Nothing Like 15 Years Ago
There’s no doubt today’s housing market is very different than the frenzied one from the past couple of years. In the second half of 2022, there was a dramatic shift in real estate, and it caused many people to make comparisons to the 2008 housing crisis. While there may be a few similarities, when looking at key variables now compared to the last housing cycle, there are significant differences.
The Truth About Negative Home Equity Headlines
Home equity has been a hot topic in real estate news lately. And if you’ve been following along, you may have heard there’s a growing number of homeowners with negative equity. But don’t let those headlines scare you.

TESTIMONIALS
Bought a Single Family home in Foresthill, CA.
In all the years of dealing with many real estate personnel, Susan Kelly is the best!
After a brief conversation of our desire and goals of the house we were looking for,
she knew exactly where to take us and what to show us. In fact,
it was the first house we saw, out of 3, that we made the offer and eventually ended up buying!
She is honest and works hard for you.
Thank you Susan.
Antonio Pizano Highly likely to recommend!
Bought a single family home in Foresthill, CA.
Not only is Susan Kelly extremely knowledgable, professional, respectful and a go-getter!
She has been an inspiration! Through all the ups, downs and jumping through hoops to purchase a home…
Susan was there helping me and encouraging me every step of the way!
I always dreamed of being a homeowner so that I could have a place of stability for my four children…
A place to call HOME! Susan helped make this dream come true and inspired me to get a real estate license
so that I may be able to help others get their dream of being a homeowner too!
Sincerely, Danelle Halling
Bought a Single Family home in Citrus Heights, CA.
Susan was very helpful to me in my first time home buying experience.
She was always available to answer my inquiries, and she was calm when I was nervous about the whole process.
I really liked that I could ask her questions, even the same ones in a different way, and I got a patient response from her.
I had gone to a home buying class and thought I knew what I was doing,
but I sure found out quickly that was not the case. I am so glad Susan was there with her expertise.
Thanks, Susan. I sure appreciate your efforts!
Linda
In all our dealings with Realtors over the past ten years,
we have never met anyone as helpful and energetic as you have been.
Without hesitation, we would highly recommend your service to anyone who is looking for an experienced Realtor
who cares about getting things done and doing them right!
Thanks for taking such good care of us, we couldn’t have done it without you!
DANIEL AND BARB NORTHFIELD
Susan did a great job. We have been very involved with real estate as both buyers and sellers for over 30 years and she stayed in contact with us better than any agent we have ever used.
In a tough market, with a piece of property that was difficult to sell because of it’s location, herefforts generated 8 offers. Impressive in any market.
We will never use another agent unless she retires.
