Has Our Housing Market Really Cooled Off? Interest rates are continuing to rise. Inventory is slowly but steadily rising as well, giving buyers more power and options. Homes are starting to sit on the market longer, which is wild considering it wasn't long ago homes were navigating multiple offers and pending in less a day. So, what does this mean for you, anyway? If you have been wanting to buy, this is your moment! Yes, interest rates are higher, but remember, they're temporary if you want them to be. You can always refinance when they inevitably drop again. You have more houses to choose from and more time to make a decision. You have the chance to view houses on a Saturday morning instead of rushing the moment one house goes live just to place an offer in a sea of other offers. Having an agent you trust on your side to walk you through the pros/cons of each home is critical right now. So if this is all good news for buyers, is it doom and gloom for sellers? Surprisingly enough, no! Sellers only need to adjust their expectations. The days of tossing a sign in your yard without prep are gone. Sellers now more than ever need to have an agent on their side showing them how to get their home ready for the market to ensure they get top dollar for their home. Everything has changed, except for one thing: having an agent you love representing you will continue to be one of the best decisions you can make.

I'm well versed in the strategies and methodologies needed for an effective, targeted campaign aimed at buying or selling a property and realizing the most positive cost/value outcome. These tools have provided a firm platform on which to build my second, and much enjoyed, career in real estate. I live in Cary with my husband and two sons and we love it in the Triangle! We relocated 14 years ago from Long Island, NY. We were looking for a family-friendly town with great schools and universities, excellent job opportunities, affordable housing and a better quality of living. Cary offered that and so much more! I understand the relocation process as I lived it myself. I have helped many clients move from where they were to where they wanted to be...in Cary or one of the surrounding towns such as Apex, Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Morrisville, Holly Springs and more. If you are looking to relocate to the Triangle Area, I would love to help you! Getting People From Where They Are... To Where They Want To Be!
