85% of homebuyers say listing photos are the most critical factor when evaluating a property online. Not the price. Not the description. The photo. 📸

Listings with professional photography receive up to 61% more views and sell 32% faster. Twilight photos as the primary image average 76% more views. Listings with video get 403% more inquiries.

In a market where buyers have more options, professional photography isn’t optional—it’s how you win the screen before you win the showing.

🏡 The ‘1% Rule’ for Homeowners

Here’s a smart financial tip that can save you stress and money down the road: the 1% Rule.

What is it? Financial experts recommend setting aside 1-3% of your home’s value each year for maintenance and repairs. This proactive approach helps you avoid being caught off guard by unexpected expenses like a failing HVAC system, roof repairs, or appliance replacements.

Here’s how to make it work:
• For a $300,000 home, that’s $3,000–$9,000 per year
• Break it into monthly savings: $250–$750/month
• Keep it in a separate savings account labeled “Home Maintenance Fund”
• Use it only for home-related repairs and upkeep

Newer homes might lean toward the 1% end, while older homes often need closer to 3%. Either way, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you’re prepared when something needs attention.

This simple habit can protect your investment and keep your home in great shape for years to come.
