Get the Facts—Not the Fear

There’s no shortage of dramatic housing headlines these days. As Jay Thompson, a longtime real estate industry consultant, puts it:

“Housing market headlines are everywhere. Many are quite sensational, ending with exclamation points or predicting impending doom. Clickbait has been an issue since the dawn of the internet, and housing news is not immune.”

When information is unclear or overhyped, it creates confusion and anxiety for buyers and sellers. Jason Lewris, Co-Founder of Parcl, explains:

“In the absence of trustworthy, up-to-date information, real estate decisions are increasingly being driven by fear, uncertainty, and doubt.”

This is why working with a real estate agent who understands your market—and who knows how to separate fact from fiction—is essential.

Local Expertise You Can Count On

Every housing market is unique. The right agent knows how to interpret national trends and apply them to your local neighborhood. They’ll help you understand what’s really going on in your area—whether home prices are rising, what inventory looks like, and how long homes are staying on the market.

This kind of insight can help you:

• Understand how today’s market compares to historical norms
• Determine if your neighborhood is trending like the broader region
• Decide on the right time to buy or sell

Most importantly, a great agent brings perspective. They help you stay grounded and make informed decisions, not emotional ones.

The Right Agent Makes Home Buying Simpler

Buying a home is a major life decision. It should be exciting, not overwhelming. That’s why your choice of agent matters. With their guidance, you’ll move through the process with less stress and more clarity.
