🏠 *FOR SELLERS:* If you're sitting on a COVID-era 2-3% interest rate, don't wait. You have 50%+ equity in your home (if purchased 2018-2020). Sell now before equity drops further. Use net proceeds as a larger down payment on your next home to keep monthly payments affordable.

*KEY INSIGHT:* Homes sitting longer because buyers are getting smart. They want TURNKEY homes with upgrades—not fixer-uppers. If you're selling, invest in renovations and smart home features. Buyers paying $500K+ expect a $1M-quality home.

*REAL EXAMPLES FROM MY PRACTICE:*
Client wanted $5K/month max payment on $1M+ home: Needed $250K down payment
Another client achieved $4K/month on higher rates with proper down payment strategy

*THE BOTTOM LINE:*
Price per square foot is UP. Days on market are UP. But we're shifting to a buyer's market. This is your signal to take action in 2026.
