🏡💘 If Buying a Home Were Like Dating 

(And Why You Should Say “Yes” Right Now)

Let’s be real - buying a house in today’s market feels a lot like dating… there are butterflies and there are red flags, all while hoping you’re picking the right one.

Sometimes you're checking out beautiful homes on our website at 2 am and swiping right, wondering what you're doing with your life 😂

But here's the truth: now is still a great time to find “the one” — your dream home — even with today's interest rates.


Let’s break it down:


🫢😵‍💫 The "Swipe Right" Phase

You start scrolling our home buying app like it's a dating app at 2 AM, falling in love with a craftsman bungalow one minute, and a beachfront condo the next.
"Ooh, cute porch!"
"OMG... the views 😍
"Built in 1982 but 'full of character' — yikes."

🔥 Pro Tip: Just like dating profiles, listings sometimes exaggerate🤦🏻‍♂️ That's why you need an agent (hi, that's me) to help you filter through the wrong ones to find the love of your life.


😬 The First Date Jitters

You walk into a showing. You’re nervous.
Does the kitchen give you butterflies?
Do you envision a future together... like Saturday brunches and Netflix marathons?

Sure, rates are higher than the glory days of 3%, but guess what... Competition is way lower too.

No more bidding wars with 13 other buyers or giving up your first born. You actually have the ability to find the right home and possibly even negotiate. 

 🔥 Pro Tip: Higher rates = fewer buyers = more negotiating power for you.


💍Putting a Ring On It (a.k.a. Making an Offer)

Look… finding the perfect house is no different than finding the perfect significant other... is that really a thing?! Good luck 😂

But when it’s 90% "HECK YES" and 10% "I can deal with that" (weekend home projects, of course), that’s a keeper.

And about those interest rates?
 👉🏻 You can always refinance later.

 👉🏻 You can negotiate with the seller to pay towards you obtaining a lower interest rate

👉🏻 You can't go back and buy your dream house once it's gone 

Waiting for “perfect” rates is like waiting for someone who loves dogs and makes a perfect soufflé and runs triathlons — rare, exhausting, and possibly fictional.

 🔥 Pro Tip: Waiting for rates to drop could mean paying more later if home prices climb.


 🫣Meeting the Parents aka The Home Inspection

Once you find a place you love, don’t skip the inspection.
Just like you wouldn’t marry someone without at least Googling them first — you shouldn’t buy a home without knowing what’s under the hood.

Thankfully, in a buyer's market, you have the ability to not only ask for some repairs to be made, but most sellers will consider it!


 ❤️ Ready to Find "The One"?

Don't ghost your dream home just because of today's rates.
With the right strategy (and the right real estate agent — hi, it's me 👋🏻), you can make moves that you'll look back and be glad you did.
