Living South of Houston with Rebecca
Free weekly newsletter · Brazoria and Galveston Counties

Know what the Houston area market is really doing before you make your next move.

Every Tuesday, I send one short email on mortgage rates, prices, builders and what it all means for homes in Pearland, Friendswood, League City, Alvin and Manvel. No hype. Just the facts.

A taste of the newsletter

The market this week, in 30 seconds

These numbers come from the issue for the week of November 2, 2026. Next week they will be different. That is the point.

7.24%

The 30 year fixed rate

National, week of October 29, 2026. It was 6.17% a year ago. Source: Freddie Mac.

26.7%

Fewer Houston area contracts

$213

More a month than last year

Principal and interest on a $300,000 loan at 7.24% versus 6.17%. My math from the Freddie Mac rates. Taxes and insurance not included.

What it means: buyers who are out there have real leverage, and sellers who win are priced for today's buyer, not last spring's. That is the kind of plain talk you get every week.

What you get every Tuesday

1

The numbers that matter

Rates, prices, how long homes are taking to sell, and what builders are doing. I name the source every time so you can check it yourself.

2

What it means here

National headlines are easy to find. I tell you what they look like in Brazoria and Galveston Counties, and what is happening in your own neighborhood.

3

My honest take

A short, straight answer for sellers and for buyers. If waiting is the smarter move, I will say so.

You do not have to be moving this year

Most people who read this already own a home. For most families, that home is the biggest investment they have. Knowing what the market is doing helps you decide whether now is your time, or whether you should wait.

If your home no longer fits your life, you will know what to look for. If it does, you will know what it is worth holding.

Thinking about selling?

Thinking about buying?

Just want to know what your home is doing?

Who writes it

Hi, I am Rebecca

I am a native Houstonian and a REALTOR® with Keller Williams Preferred. For six years I have helped families in Brazoria and Galveston Counties buy and sell, usually when life has changed and the house no longer fits.

I look out for the whole family, paws included. My business thrives on word of mouth, so I keep this honest. If the answer is wait, I will tell you to wait.
