    What Buyers & Sellers Should Expect for the Rest of 2026

    The 2026 housing market has been a roller coaster, and the volatility may not be over yet. In this episode of The Shivers Report, Nick and Keegan discuss what buyers, sellers, homeowners, and investors should expect through the remainder of the year. With mortgage rates moving from below 6% to nearly 7%, inflation concerns returning, oil prices climbing, and uncertainty continuing across the economy, there does not appear to be major relief on the horizon. They also break down why builder confidence and institutional investor activity could provide important clues about where the market is headed. Topics covered: • Why mortgage rates could remain between 6.5% and 7%• What low builder confidence may signal• Why institutional investors are selling more homes• The difference between a slow market and a housing crash• What sellers should consider before moving• Why buyers should not bank on refinancing later• How to identify opportunities in a depreciating market• Why investors make their money when they buy Whether you are considering buying, selling, relocating, or investing, this episode explains how to evaluate the full picture and make decisions based on today’s market, not the market you hope is coming. #ShiversReport #HousingMarket #RealEstate #MortgageRates #MarketUpdate #HomeBuying #HomeSelling #RealEstateInvesting #PNWRealEstate #PortlandRealEstate #OregonRealEstate #WashingtonRealEstate #RealEstatePodcast #NickShiversTeam #WeHaveYouCovered

    The 3 Things That Determine Whether Your Home Sells in 2026

    Today’s real estate market is not for the faint of heart, especially for sellers. In this episode of The Shivers Report, Nick and Keegan break down the three factors that can determine whether a home sells successfully in 2026: pricing, exposure, and negotiation. With the market changing quickly, sellers can no longer rely solely on an old appraisal, tax-assessed value, a nearby sale from six months ago, or what they originally paid for the property. What matters most is the competition buyers are seeing today. In this episode: • Why active and pending listings matter more than older sold properties• The difference between aspirational, perceived market value, and event-based pricing• Why pricing is an invitation to see the home• How overpricing can help sell competing properties• Why maximum exposure usually creates stronger offers• When an off-market sale may make sense• How online engagement should translate into in-person activity• Why negotiation experience matters more in a difficult market• How condition, location, competition, and property type affect strategy Whether you are selling an entry-level home, a rural property, a luxury residence, or something completely unique, the right strategy must reflect the current competition in your specific market. The market does not care what a seller wants or how much they invested. It responds to price, presentation, exposure, location, and demand. #ShiversReport #HomeSelling #SellerTips #HousingMarket #RealEstate #PricingStrategy #ListingAgent #RealEstateMarketing #HomeValue #PNWRealEstate #PortlandRealEstate #OregonRealEstate #WashingtonRealEstate #NickShiversTeam #WeHaveYouCovered

    New Construction vs. Resale: Which Makes More Sense in Today's Market?

    A brand-new home and an existing home are both listed for $500,000. But are they really the same deal? In this episode of The Shivers Report, Nick and Keegan answer listener questions about new construction versus resale and explain why the listing price is only part of the equation. Builders are offering incentives, mortgage rate buydowns, and upgrades to attract buyers. Those offers can make new construction appealing, but they also create additional competition for homeowners trying to sell existing properties. In this episode, we cover: Why builders offer incentives instead of lowering prices How mortgage rates affect new construction and resale differently What buyers should compare beyond the listing price Why established neighborhoods and larger lots can make resale homes appealing How new construction can affect nearby resale values Why your timeline matters when buying in a new development Maintenance, insurance, and other costs buyers may overlook What sellers can do when competing against builder incentives Whether you're buying your first home, considering new construction, or preparing to sell near a new development, understanding the full picture can help you make a more informed decision. #ShiversReport #NewConstruction #HomeBuying #HousingMarket #NickShiversTeam

    Why Diesel Prices Could Keep Mortgage Rates High

    Everyone is watching the Federal Reserve for the next interest rate cut. But Nick and Keegan are watching something else: diesel prices. In this episode of The Shivers Report, they discuss how rising fuel costs can affect everything from food and construction materials to inflation and mortgage rates. Diesel plays a role in nearly every part of the supply chain. As transportation and production become more expensive, those costs can eventually reach consumers, adding another challenge to bringing inflation under control. In this episode: Why Nick and Keegan are watching diesel and oil pricesHow fuel costs can affect inflation and mortgage ratesWhy a Fed rate cut doesn't guarantee lower mortgage ratesWhat elevated borrowing costs mean for buyers and sellersWhy waiting for rates to fall can be a risky strategyHow to make real estate decisions in the market we have todayNobody has a crystal ball when it comes to interest rates. Rather than counting on a future rate cut, Nick and Keegan explain why buyers and sellers need to understand their current options and make decisions based on what they can afford today. #ShiversReport #MortgageRates #HousingMarket #RealEstate #PNWRealEstate

    Which Homes Are Actually Selling in Today's Housing Market?

    Is the housing market crashing, or are certain homes and price ranges simply having a harder time selling? In this episode of The Shivers Report, Nick and Keegan break down what they're seeing across Oregon, Washington, and Arizona, where The Nick Shivers Team has more than 100 active listings. While national headlines focus on declining home prices and slowing transactions, the reality looks very different depending on where you live, what type of property you own, and its price point. In this episode: Why national housing data doesn't tell the whole storyHow today's market compares with the pandemic-era housing boomWhy entry-level homes in Oregon and Washington are still attracting buyersHow new construction inventory is affecting Arizona, Texas, and FloridaWhy the $500,000–$1 million price range is facing challenges in many marketsWhat Nick and Keegan are hearing about the ultra-luxury marketWhy rural properties can be harder to sellHow low mortgage rates are keeping some homeowners from movingThere isn't just one housing market. There are thousands of local markets, and each one is responding differently to today's economic conditions. Nick and Keegan explain why understanding your specific neighborhood, price range, and competition matters more than reacting to a national headline. #ShiversReport #HousingMarket #RealEstate #PNWRealEstate #NickShiversTeam
