2026, A YEAR TO INVEST

By Rachel Cardman-Brewer, December 31, 2025

2026 is coming in hot, and so is the real estate market.  People have finally started to realize that rates are not going to magically drop to 2.5% again, likely ever.  With this new found acceptance we are about to see a great spring pop of new inventory.  Are you ready?  If you have been waiting for the right time to invest in your future, this is it.  First time home buyer?  DO IT.  Looking to sell and upgrade? Downsize? Relocate?  DO IT. Want to purchase a “set-it-and-forget-it” duplex, strike while it’s hot.  The market is shifting finally and you should shift with it too.

She/Her

Hey there.  My name is Rachel. I think that purchasing my first house was the single most empowering thing that I did for myself as a younger person.  It gave me a sense of freedom, while providing me with a deep sense of security.  This is why i got into real estate.  I want to help other people feel this same way weather you are a first time homebuyer, or someone looking to make more investments.  I love the idea of helping people secure a future for themselves.   I have a background in design and landscaping that play into my strengths as an agent.  I have a strong background in home repairs and building which give me a keen eye for details and possibilities.   I understand that everyone has individual needs and I would love to help you find and full fill yours.  Reach out me! Im here to help you.
