    Happy 4th of July week! As your Stillwater real estate expert, I’m here with the latest market pulse and the best local celebrations for America’s birthday.

    📈 Market Snapshot

    • Local market index dropped back to 49—we’re seeing reduced buyer demand.
    • Median list price for new listings is trending down, hinting at potential price softening.
    • Interest rates recently hit a two-month low. If they continue downward, we could see increased buyer activity, more listings, and a cooling in pricing—but it's early days.

    I’ll keep tracking shifts in inventory, interest, list price, and buyer behavior—your market continues evolving, and so do my insights.
