A BUYER’S MARKET is when there are more homes available than buyers looking.
A SELLER’S MARKET is when there are more buyers looking than homes available.

In general, it’s a seller’s market if inventory is adequate for 5 months (or less) worth of sales. If you have 5 to 7 months of inventory, you have a balanced market, and anytime you have more than seven months’ worth of inventory, you’re in a buyer’s market.

To determine inventory, we take the number of houses for sale and divide it by the number of sales in the past 30 days.

Is it smart to wait for interest rates to come down?

You DON’T need to wait!

What DO you need? If you know you’re ready to buy, you need an agent who knows the market in your desired location and a trusted lender who can help you understand what you can afford.

The truth is if you buy at today’s rates, you can always refinance if rates drop. But if you wait with the hope of rates coming down, you can't go back and borrow at today's rates if that doesn't happen.

So the next time you think to yourself, “Maybe I’ll wait.” Don’t do it! Let me at least show you homes in your price range so you can make a decision based on facts.

Is the above you? Have you been struggling to decide about buying now vs. waiting? DM, and let’s talk - no strings attached.

Is it even possible to feel stuck when you have MORE home than you need?

Yep, it is. I see it all the time. But today, I want to let you in on five ways you know for sure it’s time to downsize.

1. Your home has multiple spaces that sit unused, like extra bedrooms, an expansive yard, or a full basement.
2. Home maintenance feels overwhelming, and, well, you’re just flat out over it.
3. You’d like more room in your monthly budget for travel, family, or retirement.
4. Your children are happy to host birthdays, holidays, and get-togethers.
5. You’re ready for a change: new scenery, people, and neighborhood amenities.

The good news? Downsizing doesn’t mean downgrading! I’d love to show you your options. DM me, and let’s chat about what you’re looking for.

Investors, new and experienced, always ask me the same thing: What return can I expect on my investment?

Answer: The median return on investment in the US property market is 8.6%, according to the S&P 500 Index.

The truth is return on investment (ROI) fluctuates every year, so it’s good to check in with an agent periodically for an up-to-date answer. They can look into the cap rate, cost of capital, and average ROI for your specific market or neighborhood.

If you're planning to buy, sell, or invest, DM me or give me a call. I’d love to share what's happening right now and answer any questions you might have.

Truth: This holiday season, all bets are off when it comes to selling and the holidays. Here's why.

According to Realtor.com, active listings are still 44% lower than the pre-pandemic 2017-2019 average. That means the market is playing catch up to buyer demand, holidays or not. If you're still not convinced, here are a few other pros and cons:

Pros of selling during the holidays:

- Serious buyers
- Less competition
- Holiday staging

Cons of selling during the holidays:

- Fewer buyers
- Hard to stay “show-ready”
- Slower closing timeline

If you’ve thought about selling but wonder if you should wait, don't! Send me a DM, and I’ll pull what's happening in your neighborhood so you can know for sure.

Buyers, don’t be spooked this October by high interest rates!

Here’s why:

An increase in rates will cost you more, but it may not be as much as you think. Example: A $300,000 loan with a 5% fixed rate comes out to roughly $1,610 a month. A $300,000 loan with a 6.5% fixed rate? $1,896 a month - a difference of $286.

Mortgage rates are still low compared to the rates from the last 40 years. Consider October 1981. The 30-year mortgage rate was 18.45%. Now, that's something to fear!

Few people are selling, and there just aren’t enough houses to go around—and it’s going to be a while before builders can catch up. Translation: Buying isn’t going to get cheaper anytime soon.

If you were ready to buy before rates crept upwards, don’t let today’s numbers derail your plans. Instead, revisit the numbers, widen your search, and consider new construction where you won’t have to deal with mobs of other buyers.

I’m here if you’d like to chat more about buying this fall. DM me, and let’s talk about strategies to get you in your next home by the end of the year.
