Ready or not...
march is officially here!
|
|
If February was for the heart, March is all about the 'green'—and I don’t just mean the clover.
As the frost starts to melt, the real estate market is seriously springing to life. Whether you’re feeling lucky enough to find your 'pot of gold' home or you’re ready to see how much green your current house is worth in today’s 2026 market, I’m here to be your lucky charm.
Let’s skip the blarney and get straight to the facts: it’s a golden time to make a move.

Market Stat Analysis
The market is beginning to show signs of steady momentum as we move into the spring season. February sales saw a notable increase compared to January, while days on market declined—both strong indicators of growing buyer activity. Inventory has also tightened, shifting conditions slightly back toward a seller’s market.
While the spring market has had a slower start than expected, interest rates remain relatively stable and are still lower than this time last year. We’re seeing an uptick in multiple-offer situations, and homes that previously sat idle are now going under contract.
If you’ve been waiting for the “right time,” this shift could be your window. As the market continues to warm and competition increases, timing and strategy will matter more than ever. Whether you're thinking about buying, selling, or just curious what this means for your home, I’m always here to help you make a confident move.

Mortgage Rates Inch Higher as Housing Activity Picks Up
|
|
The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage returned to last month’s level of 6.11%. Despite the modest uptick, buyers are responding to rates in this range, with existing-home sales increasing 1.7% in February. Purchase applications also increased this week, a welcome sign as buyers enter spring homebuying season with rates down more than half a percentage point compared to the same time last year.
-
The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.11% as of March 12, 2026, up from last week when it averaged 6.00%. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 6.65%.
-
The 15-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 5.50%, up from last week when it averaged 5.43%. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 5.80%.

Happy 2nd Birthday to our Ethan man! We love you buddy and we very much appreciate your go-with-the-flow attitude. I think I write this in every newsletter - time flies!
Wesley finished his basketball season and very proud of his hustle and aggressive play. Flag football starts now! Wesley had a good time on Spring Break with Ellie and seeing plenty of friends. The same for Elliott.
It's officially beach season and apparently the ocean isn't cold for children???
Wesley was the Prince in his school play Beauty and the Beast. He hates the stage (the spotlight) but he did SO well and so proud to see him speak his lines with confidence. He was happy to see us afterwards greeting us with a big hug. Elliott was a nurse for Helper's day at school (I think that's that it's called?). She sure is a cute little nurse.
Thank you for reading and we will catch ya next month!
With Love,
Lane Fam

Meet Carrie- New Agent to the WLG Family
|
|
Did you notice a new face in the photos above?
We’re excited to officially introduce the newest member of the Willie Lane Group, Carrie! Get to know her a little better below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As a Jacksonville native and trusted Real Estate Advisor with over a decade of experience in Northeast Florida’s residential market, Carrie's passion for housing began early through family-owned construction businesses. This early exposure led to an eight-year career in luxury new construction sales, where she guided dozens of buyers through the homebuilding process each year.
Today, Carrie brings that construction knowledge and market insight to residential resale, helping buyers and sellers make confident decisions throughout Jacksonville’s coastal communities. Known for her attention to detail, steady guidance, and relationship-driven approach, she is committed to serving her clients with integrity while helping them move into their next chapter.
When she's not selling homes, this newly-wed enjoys cheering on the Jaguars, staying involved with her church and playing golf with her husband.
We are so excited to have Carrie on the team and know she will be a wonderful addition as we continue growing and serving our clients.
