What’syourhome reallyworthin today’smarket?
That's the question you should be asking yourself.
Our market is incredibly diverse and rapidly changing. Values vary not just by neighborhood but by street. Your home isn't necessarily worth what your neighbors' home is. It's the current market that sets the value of your home.
So, do you know what your home is worth in today's market?

MortgageRates:Past,Present, andPossibleFuture
If you’re hoping to buy a home this year, you’re probably paying close attention to mortgage rates. Since mortgage rates impact what you can afford when you take out a home loan – and affordability is a challenge today – it’s a good time to look at the big picture of where mortgage rates have been historically compared to where they are now. Beyond that, it’s important to understand their relationship with inflation for insights into where mortgage rates might go in the near future.
Giving Context to the Sticker Shock
Freddie Mac has been tracking the 30-year fixed mortgage rate since April of 1971. Every week, they release the results of their Primary Mortgage Market Survey, which averages mortgage application data from lenders across the country (see graph below):
Looking at the right side of the graph, mortgage rates have increased significantly since the start of last year. But even with that rise, today’s rates are still below the 52-year average. While that historical perspective is good context, buyers have gotten used to mortgage rates between 3% and 5%, which is where they’ve been over the past 15 years.
That’s important because it explains why the recent jump in rates might have you feeling sticker shock even though they’re close to their long-term average. While many buyers have adjusted to the elevated rates over the past year, a slightly lower rate would be a welcome sight. To determine if that’s a realistic possibility, it’s important to look at inflation
Where Could Mortgage Rates Go in the Future?
The Federal Reserve has been working hard to lower inflation since early 2022. That’s significant because, historically, there’s been a connection between inflation and mortgage rates (see graph below):
This graph shows a pretty reliable relationship between inflation and mortgage rates. Looking at the left side of the graph, each time inflation moves significantly (shown in blue), mortgage rates follow suit shortly after (shown in green).
The circled portion of the graph points out the most recent spike in inflation, with mortgage rates following closely behind. As inflation has moderated a bit this year, mortgage rates haven’t yet made a similar move. That means, if history is any guide, the market is waiting for mortgage rates to follow inflation and head back down. It’s impossible to accurately predict where mortgage rates will go for sure, but moderating inflation means mortgage rates going down in the near future would fit a well-established trend.

Home Concierge's secret weapon is our local project directors, who visit and personally manage each of our projects. When the agent reached out with a tight deadline, project director Azary Khalfan took it in stride and immediately called on her local vendors and subcontractors. Our in-house designer, Samantha Black, worked quickly over the holidays to design a new kitchen while Azary ordered finishes for other parts of the home. Ingenuity, strong vendor connections, and hard work transformed the kitchen in 17 days! The home sold for over $400,000 over asking in just one week.

Tips to Harden Your Home During Wildfires
Source: Cal Fire
ROOF
Build your roof or re-roof with materials such as composition, metal, clay, or tile Remove any vegetative debris from the roof.
VENTS
Remove all openings with 1/16-inch to 1/4-inch metal mesh Do not use fiberglass or plastic mesh because they can melt and burn
EAVES + SOFFITS
Eaves should be boxed in and protected with ignition-resistant or non-combustible materials.
WINDOWS
Install dual-paned windows with one pane of tempered glass to reduce the chance of breakage in a fire.
WALLS
Use ignition-resistant materials, such as stucco, fiber cement, wall siding, fire retardant, treated wood, etc.
DECKS
Create an ember-resistant zone around and under all decks and clear debris from under your deck.
FENCES
Separate your fences from your house or upgrade the last 5 feet of the fence to a non-combustible material.
GUTTERS
Keep rain gutters clear or enclose rain gutters to prevent accumulation of plant debris
DRIVEWAY
Driveways should be built and maintained in accordance with state and local codes to allow fire and emergency vehicles to reach
CHIMNEY
Close the fireplace during fire season when the chimney is not being used.
PATIO COVER
Use the same ignitionresistant materials for patio coverings as a roof
DECKS
Have a fire extinguisher and tools such as a shovel, rake, bucket, and hose available for fire
