If you are feeling stuck in a home just because you currently have a low interest - this one is for you! Buyers are asking for a little help from sellers to "buy their rates down" and it is working!
Take a look!

Let’s analyze a hypothetical transaction where you have the option to lower the purchase price, or permanently buy your rate down by 1% - which would save you more in the long run?

The spring market is quickly approaching, and some areas are already experiencing the fast-paced activity that usually starts in March or April.

The change in seasons will bring a higher level of demand which means more competition, and fewer concessions from sellers. See the potential impact of waiting to buy in the spring versus today in our February Newsletter 👉 8z.com/newsletters 🔗

I’ve helped numerous buyers find a home. Despite their differences, they all share ONE desire…

❗NO SURPRISES

So if you’re thinking of selling in the next few months, here’s your gentle nudge to take care of a few things...

✔️ Evaluate major home systems - HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roof.
✔️ Fix leaky faucets.
✔️ Tighten loose cabinet pulls or door k***s.
✔️ Paint dingy walls, doors, and ceilings.
✔️ Freshen up the yard by trimming trees and shrubs and laying mulch.
✔️ Deep clean carpets.
✔️ Declutter, declutter, declutter.

These are just a few of the things I encourage my buyers to do. If you’re serious about prepping your home for buyers AND getting top dollar, drop a comment below or DM me!

This is everything when it comes to selling your home:

⌚ Timing.

Over the years, I've seen how the timing of the market can impact the sale of a home. It's like cooking a masterpiece, you have to gather all the right ingredients and wait for the perfect moment to bring everything together.

That “perfect moment” can totally depend on your personal situation. But for many, that often comes in late spring — specifically May — when sellers typically boost average sales prices.

All that to say, if you’re thinking about selling, now is a great time to pull together the best ingredients for a successful sale - prepping, staging, and showing. And don’t worry, as a local agent with years of experience, I can help! I promise when the timing is right, your home will be the main course everyone is talking about!

Thinking about selling your home? Let me know!

Interest rates, simplified. ✅

An interest rate is the “price” a lender charges a borrower for a loan. Just like a pair of jeans at your favorite store, every loan has a price tag. That price tag is the interest rate. But instead of dollars and cents, the price of borrowing a sum of money is a percentage of the total amount borrowed.

Interest rates rise and fall daily based on loan type (rates are typically lower for shorter-term loans), what the Feds are doing (the U.S. central bank), and, yes, inflation.

Want to run the numbers to see what you could afford this January, or have other questions about buying or selling? DM me! I'd love to hear from you.

Fill in the blank: "I want to sell my home, but ____________"

If you're considering selling your home this year, but aren't sure if it's the right move, this post is for you!

1️⃣ Do you have a good amount of equity in your home?
2️⃣ Is your next home available and/or affordable?
3️⃣ Are you emotionally ready to sell your home?
4️⃣ Are you wanting to downsize or upsize your home?
5️⃣ Can you make a profit by selling?

If you answered yes to most of these questions, 2023 may be the perfect time to sell. Every home and homeowner has their own unique story. Before deciding to sell — or deciding to wait — talk with your real estate agent.
