🚨 Breaking Real Estate News ! 58,000 home deals fell through in July

That’s 15.3% of all U.S. contracts—the highest July cancellation rate since 2017.
📉 Last year? It was 14.5%.

Why does this matter?
➡️ Rising rates & affordability hurdles are forcing more buyers to back out.
➡️ Sellers are feeling the ripple effects in longer days on market and tougher negotiations.

Staying informed = staying ahead in this shifting market.

💰Did you know owning a home comes with some amazing tax perks?

Here are 6 tax advantages you don’t want to miss:

Mortgage Interest Deduction: If you’re filing jointly, you can deduct interest on up to $750,000 of mortgage debt. That’s a big deal!

Real Estate Taxes: You can deduct up to $10,000 per year in state and local property taxes. Every little bit helps!

Mortgage Points: Paid discount points when you got your mortgage? You can deduct those too!

Moving Expenses: Members of the armed forces moving due to a change of station can deduct moving expenses. Thank you for your service!

Capital Gains Exclusion: When you sell your home, you can avoid taxes on the first $250,000 of profit if you’re single, or $500,000 if you’re married, as long as you’ve lived there for two of the last five years.

Tax-Deductible Mortgage Insurance: You might be able to deduct private mortgage insurance and other fees, though this one can change, so check with a tax pro.

Remember, there are more tax breaks where these came from, so always consult a tax professional to make sure you’re maximizing your savings

Meet Ace, a 2-year-old Malinois with a story that shows just how resilient dogs can be. Oxnard Animal Safety once found him in a drainage ditch wearing a chain that had to be removed with bolt cutters. In another instance, Ace appeared in our shelter parking lot, laying down waiting patiently for someone to come out and help him. Through it all, Ace has stayed fun, energetic, and deeply loyal to the people he bonds with.

He already knows “sit” and “lay down,” takes treats gently. Volunteers say he’s affectionate and eager to please - he just appreciates a little patience when meeting new friends.

This Saturday, 8/23, Ace will be part of our Clear the Shelters event. Adoptions will be free for every pet, and we think it’s the perfect chance for him to find the safe, loving home he deserves!

Clear the Shelters Event details:
Hours: 11AM-5PM
Locations: Camarillo (Early bird check in for specific dogs 7AM-10AM here) & Simi Valley
Preview pets: vcas.us/pets

Buyers have the upper hand right now — and most don’t even realize it.

Timing is everything in real estate… and right now? Buyers have a serious edge.

Homes are sitting longer, sellers are motivated, and that opens the door for smart offers and creative deal-making.

More listings mean more options. Less buyer competition means more breathing room. And motivated sellers? That’s your moment to negotiate.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time, this might be it.

For the Realtors working hard to get listings sold or match buyers with the perfect fit, I’m always here to help structure offers that make the deal work for everyone.

Let’s be strategic, well-prepared, and take advantage of what this market has to offer.

Need an agent who can move fast and help you strategize when it counts?

Buying a home with a 7% interest rate feels crazy until you realize your landlord did just that, and you’re paying their mortgage 🤔🤔

The more you know….

Did you know this?? We all know saving for retirement is very important…but in a pinch this can help you get the downpayment funds you need!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Building equity in your home is absolutely another great way to prepare yourself for the future as well!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The important thing here is investing and not throwing money away on rent by finding creative ways to get yourself into a home.

In some cases, qualifying or payment affordability can be overcome with more money down if you’re in the position or have the opportunity to do so.

Discuss what’s right for you by consulting a professional financial advisor.
