Buying a home doesn’t have to be overwhelming!
With over a decade working with families to find their dream home, here’s what I often see people get wrong, that I coach them thru:
-Waiting for the Perfect Market
Waiting for prices or rates to drop often causes buyers to miss good opportunities. The market has shifted, and timing looks different in 2026.
-Relying on Automated Valuations
Online estimates do not reflect condition, competition, or local demand. Buyers need real data and local context.
-Thinking They Can Outwait Competition
Buyer activity patterns today reward preparation and decisiveness, not hesitation.
-Skipping Pre Approval Until Finding a Home
Waiting to get pre approved slows offers down and can cause sellers to overlook buyers entirely.
-Lowballing Because It Used to Work
Aggressive low offers often backfire and reduce negotiating power in today’s market.
-Believing Every Home Will Be Cheaper Later
Long term supply challenges continue to influence prices and affordability in many areas.
-OH AND THE BIGGEST ONE
Only relying on information you see on the internet! Seriously, if you have a goal of homeownership tips like this are a great start, but you really need to talk with a local expert in your area.
So if you’re in Santa Cruz County, let’s have a chat and make your home ownership goals actually happen 🤗

Luxury isn’t just about price tag. It’s about scarcity and desirability. In Santa Cruz County, luxury means location, views, and privacy that can’t be replicated.
Don’t look at just 2 years of data. Look at price per square foot trends over 10 years. Markets cycle, but irreplaceable features hold value.
The best ROI? Properties with unique features that can’t be built again:
Waterfront or coastal proximity
Panoramic mountain/ocean views
Historic significance or architectural pedigree
Land that’s protected from future development
In our market, coastal proximity and tech money from Silicon Valley drive long-term appreciation. But you have to buy strategically, not emotionally.
