This just happened…but buyer demand still grew?

Introduction

When you see a stat like this—

Mortgage demand is up 18% year-over-year, even with rates at their highest since January—that’s your green light to hit send. (Source: CNBC)

Because now, you’re not just emailing to stay in touch.

You’re emailing with relevance and value.

And if you imagine sitting across from a thoughtful, financially savvy client—the kind who tracks headlines but appreciates real context—this is exactly the kind of timely information they’re counting on you to deliver.

This campaign gives you the perfect entry point to re-engage your buyers, reframe the opportunity for sellers, and remind your database that you’re the one watching the trends—and making sense of what they actually mean.

Before you get started

For best results with direct mail, you’ll want to have these core lists ready.

Before you send a text, make sure you have these three things in place:

Before you send an email, make sure these three things are in place:

This is your core mailing audience—used for general awareness and market education. Build your list using the following filters:

  • Homeowners who’ve owned for 10+ years
  • 50%+ equity
  • Areas with strong total commission opportunity (transaction volume × average price)

Start with 1,000 homes. Expand if it’s working. Need help pulling the list? Ask your title rep or use tools like PropStream or Breakthrough Broker.

Used for campaigns like Just Listed, Just Sold, Magic Buyer, or Pre-Appointment letters.You’ll need the ability to quickly pull 100–200 nearby homes around a specific property.

Used for targeted campaigns like Expired Listings, Silver Tsunami, and FSBOs.
Pull these from platforms like RedX or similar.

An Email Tool

You need a platform that lets you send mass emails to your database. Use what you have—FUB, Follow Up Boss, Mailchimp, KVCore, Constant Contact, etc. If you’re not set up yet, get that handled first. You can’t send if you can’t hit send.

Three Simple Lists

You need three lists:

Prospects

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

People you haven't done business with.

SOI/Past Clients

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

People you have.

Entire Database

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

All contacts.

These lists let you send smarter without overthinking.
3

A Plain Text Format

These emails are written to feel personal, not promotional—so keep them clean. Paste them as-is, with a short signature (your name, number, maybe your site). That’s it.

A CRM That Can Send Texts

Most modern CRMs can do this—Follow Up Boss, Lofty, Brivity, Real Geeks, etc. Use your CRM before buying anything new. You’ll want tracking, history, and batch-sending capabilities.

If you do need a mass texting tool, here’s what we recommend. But start with manual sends if you have to.

Three Simple Lists

Texting is for follow-up. And smart follow-up starts with the right filters.

Set up three lists:

Prospects

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

People you haven’t done business with.

SOI/Past Clients

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

People you have.

Entire Database

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

All contacts.

Apply two filters:

Engaged Recently

Opened an email or visited your site in the last 7 days.

Not Contacted Recently

No outreach in 30 days (for prospects) or 90 days (for clients).

That overlap—engaged but untouched—is your sweet spot. That’s who you text.

A Plain Text Format

These aren’t spam blasts. They’re timely, value-based follow-ups. Use their first name. Skip the signatures.

Mortgage rates just hit their highest point since January.

By most assumptions, that should’ve put the brakes on demand.

And yet—according to the Mortgage Bankers Association—applications to purchase a home actually rose 2% last week. That’s 18% higher than the same week a year ago.

So who’s buying?

Buyers who’ve done the math. Who’ve decided that a slightly higher monthly payment is worth the tradeoff for finally finding the right space—or getting a deal that didn’t exist last year.

We’re seeing it across price points: buyers willing to engage, if the property—and the price—make sense.

With 38% of listings seeing price cuts and inventory up 32% from a year ago (Altos, via HousingWire), we’re also seeing sellers get more realistic.

That doesn’t mean homes are being given away—it means sellers are open to negotiating—on price, on timing, even on covering closing costs in some cases.

As always, if you have any questions—any questions at all about the market or what we’re predicting for this summer, just reply to this email. I’m here when you need me.
