Lately, I’m seeing what many of you are feeling: the real estate market is in a bit of a standoff. Higher mortgage rates are making it harder for buyers to justify monthly payments, so many are choosing to wait rather than make an offer. At the same time, I talk daily with homeowners who secured great rates in recent years and are understandably hesitant to move and give those up. This combination means fewer new listings and fewer buyers moving forward—pending sales are slowing down as a result. It’s a classic stalemate: buyers are holding out for better payment options, while sellers want to keep their low-rate loans. I’m here to help clients navigate these unique challenges, share strategies, and make informed decisions—whether you’re looking for your next home or thinking about selling in Massachusetts or Rhode Island.
