WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE MARKET? 

CNBC recently reported a 12% jump in mortgage applications.

At first glance, 12% might not seem like much—but compared to the same time last year, that’s an increase of over 52%.

So, what does this mean?

Two key takeaways:

  1. Buyers have become more accepting of interest rates in the 6-7% range but remain highly sensitive to even small rate drops.
  2. This shift could be good news for would-be sellers. It suggests the pool of buyers—especially those keeping an eye on interest rates—may be growing, making it a great time to consider listing your home.

This surge could translate to more offers, faster sales, and potentially higher prices for sellers who position their homes strategically.
