Did you know? 💡 Most accepted offers aren't a done deal right away. A conditional offer means the sale depends on certain conditions being met first, and both buyers and sellers have the right to include them.

Some of the most common ones include home inspections, financing approval, and appraisal contingencies. There's also something called an escape clause that sellers can use if a better offer comes in while waiting on a conditional buyer. 🏘️ These are the types of things worth knowing before you find yourself in the middle of a transaction.

If you want to learn more, a helpful breakdown is linked below, and reach out anytime with questions! 📱

Here's a guide to help you understand what conditions are, how they may affect the home sale, and what happens if they're not met.

Here's a little breakdown:

• Last month's sales were 9% fewer than a year before.
• There were 18% fewer homes listed than the previous year.
• The benchmark price for all home types was $877,600.

A fresh coat of paint is one of the cheapest ways to add value before listing 🎨🏡 but the colour matters more than most people think.

According to experts, the shades that perform best for resale aren't bold statement colours. Warm whites, greiges, and soft taupes consistently come out on top — colours that feel clean and inviting without being too personal for buyers to picture themselves in.

A helpful breakdown of the top 7 colours is linked below! 🔗

Thinking about listing? 💬 Get in touch! Small changes like this can make a real difference.

The color of your walls is important not just for the overall aesthetic of your room, but also when it comes time to sell your home. Here are a few hues that experts recommend for when you list.
