Summer’s Heating Up — And So Is Buyer Activity

Summer always brings a surge of new home shoppers — families moving before school starts, first-timers finally ready to look, and renters checking out open houses “just to see.”

But here’s what most of them don’t realize:

✅ They can get fully underwritten before making an offer

✅ They don’t need 20% down

✅ Many programs offer seller credits or down payment assistance

✅ Acting now = beating the late-summer crowd

I’ve had several buyers this month go from “We’re just browsing” to “We’re writing an offer” in under two weeks — because they got clarity, fast.

Browsing is fine — but strategy turns browsing into winning.

If you're shopping this summer (or working with buyers who are), the market’s moving.

Having a clear plan now could be the difference between closing in August… or still browsing in October.

Let’s make the summer count.
