Vintage Value

Here’s a real estate riddle: When is an old home worth more than a new one? Answer: Right now.

In a rare flip, existing homes are officially pricier than new construction—$429,400 vs. $410,800 for the median single-family home in Q2. That’s the opposite of the usual order, where new builds cost more.

Why the switch?
🔒 Tight inventory is pushing existing home prices higher.
🚧 Steady supply of new homes is keeping their prices in check.
📉 New home prices have dropped for 9 straight quarters.
📈 Existing home prices? Rising for 8 straight.

Regionally, it’s a mixed bag—buyers in the Northeast still pay nearly $800K for a new build, while in the South, the price difference between old and new is barely a rounding error.

Bottom line: The “fixer-upper” just got a luxury upgrade... at least on paper.

📚 Book Recommendation:

“Mind Your Mindset” by Michael Hyatt & Megan Hyatt Miller—Alright, here’s the truth: most people are walking around with garbage software running in their heads. Limiting beliefs. Old stories. Mental malware. And the worst part? They don’t even know it.

That’s where Mind Your Mindset comes in. This book is like a brain OS update. Michael and Megan Hyatt basically show you how to debug your internal code, rewrite the stories you tell yourself, and start operating from a place of power instead of fear or autopilot.

It’s not woo-woo fluff—it’s practical, research-backed, and real-world tested. Want to make better decisions, take bigger swings, and stop self-sabotaging? Start with the six inches between your ears.

This isn’t just mindset theory… it’s mindset engineering. Read it. Run the upgrade. Then go build something amazing.

Let’s go — tomorrow’s waiting for a better version of you.
