Dear Jordan & Taylor Reyes,
Your home is one of the largest, if not the largest, financial asset you own. Like any investment, it makes sense to check in on it regularly. That’s exactly what this report is designed to do.
Once a year, I put together a snapshot of what’s been happening in the real estate market. We start at the national level, move to the state level, and finally look at data right here in your neighborhood. My goal is to make sure you always have a clear picture of where things stand, so you can make informed decisions whenever the time is right.
Inside this report you’ll find:
With this information you can better assess your insurance coverage, manage financial planning, help with any renovation project decisions, and have a better overall understanding if a move is on your mind.
If any of this sparks questions, or you’d like a more detailed look at how your home would be positioned in the market today, I’m always just a phone call away.
Every quarter, the Federal Housing Finance Agency publishes its House Price Index, tracking how home values have shifted across the country since 1991. Here is the long view, and where the national market stands today.
| Metric | 1 Year | 5 Year |
|---|---|---|
| U.S. Home Price Appreciation | +1.77% | +39.48% |
One-year price change in every state. Cooler tones show stronger appreciation; warmer tones show softening.

This ties the national and local data back to your purchase. Rather than pinpointing a current value — which requires a full comparative market analysis — it gives an honest look at how the market has moved since you bought in June 2019.
Your home is more than an investment, it’s where life happens. While the market data in this report tells one part of the story, there are a few other things worth putting on your radar every year around this same time.
As your home’s value changes, your insurance coverage should keep pace. Many homeowners are unknowingly underinsured simply because they set their policy years ago and haven’t revisited it since. Now is a great time to call your insurance agent and confirm that your dwelling coverage reflects current replacement costs — not what you paid for the home, and not what it was worth five years ago. Building and labor costs have shifted significantly in recent years, and a coverage gap only becomes visible when you need it most.
A well-maintained home holds its value better and sells faster when the time comes. If you don’t already have one, consider starting a simple home maintenance log — a running record of repairs, upgrades, appliance ages, and service dates. It’s a small habit that pays off in a big way, both in protecting your investment and in making any future sale smoother. If you ever want recommendations for trusted local vendors, big or small, don’t hesitate to reach out.
