You listed your home this summer expecting plenty of buyers, a quick offer, and a relatively smooth sale. Instead, the listing expired, was canceled, or is still sitting on the market without the activity you expected. Now you’re facing a frustrating decision: Should you relist this fall, or take the home off the market and wait until spring? There isn’t one answer that works for every homeowner. The right decision depends on why the home didn’t sell, what the competition l

Buying or selling a home is rarely just about the house. It is often connected to a job change, growing family, retirement, investment plan, financial goal, or move across the country. That is why the Harper Home Team was built to offer more than a traditional real estate experience. We are a family-owned real estate team serving Southern California and Middle Tennessee. With more than 1,500 homes sold, we bring decades of experience, strong negotiating skills, local market

If you’ve been following the Nashville housing market, the latest numbers may feel a little contradictory. Inventory is rising. Fewer homeowners are putting their properties on the market. Prices are holding relatively steady. Buyers have more negotiating power, but some homes are still selling quickly. So, is Nashville becoming a buyer’s market or not? The short answer: the market is moving closer to balance, but it depends heavily on the home, neighborhood and price rang

If you have been looking at homes in Franklin, Tennessee, you may have started to wonder whether everything in town now costs $1.5 million. It doesn’t, but buyers working with a budget under $1 million do need to know where to look. Franklin’s median sale price for a single-family home was approximately $1.05 million during the 12 months ending in June 2026. However, roughly 46% of the single-family homes sold during that period closed below $1 million. In other words, Fran

I'll be honest with you: Spring Hill is one of the first places I point California families toward when they start seriously researching Middle Tennessee. Not because it's the flashiest city on the map. Because it works. It makes financial sense, it has the schools families are looking for, and it has more new construction options than almost anywhere else in the Nashville metro. But it also has some nuances that can trip buyers up if nobody takes the time to explain them.

For years, most buyers have treated Zillow like it is the housing market. If a home wasn’t on Zillow, people assumed it wasn’t for sale. But starting June 1, that may no longer be true in Middle Tennessee. A major dispute between Realtracs (the local MLS used throughout Middle Tennessee) and Zillow could result in many listings no longer appearing on Zillow at all. And honestly? Most buyers and sellers have no idea this is happening. What’s Actually Happening? Realtra

The key right now isn't just if you should invest, it's where you put your money. In a higher-rate environment, location is everything. You need markets with strong rental demand, real job growth, and room for appreciation. Lucky for you, Middle Tennessee has several. Here's our breakdown of the best places to invest in Nashville real estate right now.

If you’ve ever thought about investing in real estate in Southern California, you’ve probably had the same reaction most people do: “Prices are insane… how does anyone make money here?” Fair question. But here’s the truth. Investing in SoCal is less about quick cash flow and more about long-term wealth, appreciation, and strategic plays.

If you're thinking about selling a rental or investment property and reinvesting the profits without getting slammed with capital gains taxes, a 1031 Exchange might be your best move. But what is it, how does it work, and how do you actually upgrade your portfolio with it?

The truth is, your bottom line isn't just based on your home's condition or neighborhood comps. It's shaped by the decisions you make before your home even hits the market. And according to new data from Zillow, many sellers are still missing the mark on the basics.

But as home prices have climbed in recent years, buyers are getting creative to find affordable options. Whether you're a first-time buyer, relocating, or just looking to get more house for your money, this guide will walk you through the best ways to find an affordable home in the Temecula area—without sacrificing lifestyle or location
