The #1 Roth Conversion Mistake That Costs Retirees
Most people missed the first Roth conversion window. History is offering a rare second chance — but not a long one.
With today's tax rates extended, IRA Millionaires have a brief stretch of historically low brackets left. When it closes, the math changes: higher rates, bigger required distributions, and fewer conversion opportunities each year you wait.
Craig Wear, CFP®, has spent 15+ years helping more than 3,000 families with $1M+ in IRAs plan Roth conversions — helping them avoid a projected $10B+ in lifetime taxes. His new book, Roth Conversion Reset, is the step-by-step playbook:
Lock in today's low rates
Avoid RMD surprises at 73
Protect your spouse from survivor taxes
Keep more for your heirs
The book is free — no credit card, no shipping. The full PDF lands in your inbox in minutes.

I told my realtor friend she should try stand-up comedy…
👉 she said, “I’m already great at delivering punch lines, they’re called closing costs.” 🤣

🏠 New Homes: What’s Happening?

Understanding our local housing market starts with looking at construction trends. Because housing supply affects affordability, that’s where recent building permit data for Colorado Springs comes in. While the city saw significant surges in new construction permits toward the end of 2025, the numbers vary month by month. Entering 2026 with 301 permits, the data shows that while new homes are being added, keeping up with demand remains a long-term challenge for our area. Full Story

📉 Latest Mortgage Rate Update

If you've been sitting on the sidelines waiting for rates to fall, the latest numbers offer little reason to celebrate. 30-year mortgage rates clocked in at 6.52% as of mid-June 2026 and haven't moved much since, with ongoing geopolitical tension adding roughly 50 basis points to rates since late February.
Forecasters are largely aligned: Fannie Mae expects rates around 6.4% for the rest of 2026, while the Mortgage Bankers Association projects 6.5% through Q4 2026. The Federal Reserve has paused rate cuts, so a sharp drop in the near term isn't in the forecast.
The upside for buyers: more homes are sitting longer and the bidding frenzy has eased. Many housing experts say if the home is right and the monthly payment works, buying now can be smarter than betting on rates that may not return to pandemic lows anytime soon. *Read Source
