🗓 What a great way to start a new week and a new month! Yesterday I closed on my largest sale in real estate so far!

We listed this gorgeous home on October 4th (my bday 🥳) and had it under contract in just *four* days, for over asking price. 💫

We were able to close in less than 30 days, hand over the keys to a lovely new owner, and send my seller off to her new beginning.

I couldn't have done it without the best client and my awesome coach.

I'm motivated to keep going and ready for the next one!

In the real estate world, we've been seeing things cooling off just a bit. This means houses are staying on the market a little bit longer, we're seeing some price reductions, and the bidding wars aren't as intense as they were earlier this year. That doesn't mean its still not a great time to buy or sell! Homes are still selling quickly for sellers, and interest rates are still at a record low for buyers! Even if prices do go down in the future, interest rates will likely go up, and actually cost you more monthly!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It's no secret it's been tough out there in the world of real estate, ESPECIALLY for 1st time home buyers. And I'm so happy that the sweetest young couple I had the pleasure of working with finally have a lovely place to call their own. With clear goals and determination, we were able to find them the the perfect home in under 30 days, and even had the clear to close a week early! 👊 Reports do show that the real estate market is easing up a bit while interest rates still remain low so if you have been thinking about making a move, now could be the perfect time!

Don't touch that tile!!

When you're getting ready to sell your home, you may be tempted to do some quick and cheap cover-ups in order to make your home appeal to buyers. However some things may actually do more harm than good...

Like painting over retro colored tiles 😱.

Believe it or not, it's easy for buyers to spot and in their mind they only see the very near future problems. Peeling, chipping, looking worse in no time, then an added cost of having to remove the paint or remodel the entire bathroom.

If you have a retro colored bathroom that you do not plan to renovate before selling (that's ok!), just embrace it and make it work.

👌 Clean the grout
👍 Repaint the walls
✌ Update the fixtures
👊 Style and stage it

Then buyers can choose to embrace it too or remodel the way they choose.

By the way... lots of people actually LOVE these midcentury colored bathrooms 😊

✔Do's and Don'ts❌ - Everyone knows one of the best home renovation investments is the kitchen. Whether you plan on staying in your home and enjoying the space for years to come, or if you're getting ready to sell, the kitchen is a great place to focus. Being in the business of real estate and design I've seen kitchens of all shapes, sizes and conditions. Here are my top Do's and Don'ts of kitchen remodeling.

1. If your cabinets are in good shape or you can't afford to replace them, painting IS an option. My biggest recommendation here is DO NOT do it yourself. It is well worth the investment to have them professionally prepped and sprayed to ensure clean and long lasting results.

2. Stick to classic/timeless colors and materials. Especially if you plan to sell, but even if its just for you, keeping this major investment simple and beautiful is more likely to keep you loving it for many years to come.

3. Don't do a quick "cover up" (like a stick-on backsplash, roll out vinyl flooring, or the worst of all IMO... paint your laminate countertops) These things look cheap to buyers who will likely re-do them anyway, and they don't last which means you'll have to fix them sooner than later.

Clearly this is just the tip of the iceberg of kitchen remodel tips. Reach out to chat or with any questions!

I've had this question come up a few times recently and wanted to share.

Question: Are hardwood floors worth refinishing or should I just install carpet?

Answer: Hardwood is 100% worth it!!! Whether refinishing or installing new. And honestly is not that much more costly in the long run.

Why choose wood?
1. Hardwood is classic, timeless, and long lasting
2. Hardwood adds value to your home (buyers look for it)
3. Wood can be more eco friendly (if sourced correctly)
4. Wood floors are healthier and easier to clean
5. Carpet traps dust, dander, odors, bacteria, and even mold 😨
6. Most carpets are made with toxic chemicals that pollute the earth and off-gas into your home
7. Carpet creates more waste because it has a more limited life span and ends up in land fills

So what about you? Are you team carpet or team hardwood?
