Prices are falling.  Days on market are increasing.  Price reductions are increasing.  There are less offers over list price.  The market is shifting!   Or is it? In the news last week, there were, as usual, a lot of negative headlines around housing.  Buyers have had enough.  The end of crazy ap...

A Real Estate Bubble Isn't Happening, and Here's Why Real estate is on fire.  It's no secret that home prices have gone up astronomically over the past 2+ years, and they continue to rise, in a phrase coined by crypto investors, "to the moon!".  This meteoric rise in prices has caused the phrase ...

Don't Quit Your Day Job (during the mortgage process) It happened.  I've always heard the stories.  I've seen it happen to other people.  And now it's happened to me.  We've had a complicated loan in process for the past couple months.  I'll spare too many details, but it's a unique property in a...
