The HOLM Stretch | June 12th, 2026
Thanks for stopping by!
Should you sell now or wait?
The housing market looks a lot different than it did a few years ago.
Prices have cooled in some markets, stabilized in others, and affordability is still a real factor for buyers. Even with more inventory available in many areas, monthly payments are still shaping what people can afford.
So, should you sell now?
It depends less on the national headlines and more on what selling would help you do next.
š Waiting may make sense if youāre comfortable with your current mortgage payment, youāre happy where you are, or buying your next home would stretch your budget more than youād like.
š Selling may make sense if your home no longer fits, youāre relocating, you need less space, you want to be closer to family, or you have enough equity to make your next move comfortably.
There isnāt one right answer for every homeowner. The best place to start is with the numbers: your current home value, your estimated equity, and what your next move would realistically cost.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?
WHAT ELSE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
Summer buyers are different. Here's what that means for sellers.
The buyers out there right now are not the same crowd that was searching in April.
In June and July, the market shifts toward people who have a real reason to move and a date they're working toward. Families who need to be settled before school starts. Buyers relocating for a job with a start date already set. People who searched all spring and are done waiting.
That motivation changes how offers come in and how fast decisions get made.
This week's post is all about exactly what sellers need to know about who's buying right now and how to set your listing up for this specific group.
What Sellers Need to Know About Summer Buyers
Summer buyers are motivated, deadline-driven, and more decisive than spring browsers. Here...
