Is 2026 the year to buy a new home in the Santa Valley?
It’s a question our clients ask us every single day.
The market is beginning to soften, inventory is increasing, and more homes are coming on the market. Tiffany and I are out there every week, walking through properties, evaluating each one carefully to determine whether it truly meets our standards for value and quality.
2025 was an incredibly successful year for us, and what we realized is that much of that success came down to one thing: patience. Knowing when to act—and when not to—made all the difference. By waiting, holding firm, and negotiating strategically, our buyers consistently secured the best possible prices and terms. In many cases, success meant not being afraid to pause, reassess, and come back with confidence.
As we move into 2026, our approach remains the same. If you see a home you like—maybe it’s priced a bit high or isn’t perfect but checks most of your boxes—tell us. Tiffany and I will handle the negotiations and the terms. That’s what we do best. We don’t settle, and we don’t compromise on quality or assurances. Our goal is always to help our clients secure the home they truly want, not just any home.
What truly sets us apart is the relationships we build. Our 2025 clients are our 2026 clients—and beyond. They have our numbers on speed dial. They call us for advice, questions, and guidance, and we keep them informed and connected with what’s happening in the valley, from market updates to local events. Our clients become extended family, and we consider those relationships lifelong.
Looking ahead, we believe 2026 is going to be a great year for real estate. Interest rates should continue to come down—gradually—inventory is expected to rise, and buyers will have more power and leverage than they’ve had in years.
If you’re in the area, reach out to us. We’d love to show you around and walk you through the home of your choosing. We’re already off to the races and look forward to a busy, successful, and exciting 2026.
