Trying to make sense of this market?

Introduction

This week’s email pulls from two of the most respected sources in housing data—Altos Research and ATTOM. Together, they paint a picture that’s more complex than the headlines suggest.

It’s a national view—but one that helps you frame local conversations with more clarity and confidence.

Because even when your market behaves differently, buyers and sellers are still hearing national narratives. Your job is to bring perspective.

Here’s what the latest numbers show—and how to use them to educate, inform, and stay relevant.

This template also includes a direct-response P.S. designed to surface potential sellers—so you can spark the right conversations at the right time.

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.

2

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.

You’ve probably seen the headlines—prices are high, affordability is low, and the market feels like a waiting game no one wants to play.

But the latest data tells a more nuanced story.

For the first time this year, weekly home sales topped 2024 levels. Inventory is up 30% year over year. And the median home price? Just 1% higher than this time last year. (Altos Research)

Nationally, the market is moving—but prices aren’t surging. 

Affordability is still a hurdle. A typical home now eats up 32% of the average U.S. wage—above the 28% lending benchmark. (ATTOM Data)

Of course, real estate is local. Some areas are still seeing bidding wars and above-ask offers. Others? More price cuts, longer days on market, and more room for buyers to negotiate. 

It all depends on your neighborhood, your price point, and how much competition there is on either side. 

This spring isn’t one-size-fits-all. I’ll keep you informed as the market evolves.

P.S. I’d be a terrible Realtor if I didn’t ask: If you were to get a great offer for your home, would you consider selling? If yes, just reply to this email—let’s talk.
