What you see about the housing market in the media is not necessarily what is happening locally. We have all seen or read the news recently... "the housing market bubble", "fear of a housing crisis or crash", "rising interest rates making homeownership unaffordable", and on and on.

News flash — the media is NOT your local market expert! Yes, the market may be shifting in some areas, but as your trusted advisor, I can help you find a home within your budget, that fits your needs. I have local lenders that I work with who can help you secure a competitive interest rate and secure a payment you're comfortable with.

If you've been on the fence about making a move, send me a message. I would love to give you some insight into OUR current market conditions and help you come up with a plan to make your dream of homeownership a reality.

Now that the weather is getting cooler, and we are spending more time in our homes, it may be more noticeable than ever that your home needs a refresh.

→ Swipe to see a few quick and easy budget-friendly updates to refresh your home that you can do yourself!

⓵ Replace any brass fixtures and old hardware with brushed nickel, gold, or black matte — think old, dated door k***s and kitchen and bath hardware.

⓶ Add white or neutral bedding with more pillows.
Give your bedrooms a facelift, and create a more inviting space. People associate white with cleanness, and it can also help brighten up a space and make it feel larger. The same goes for the bathroom — add fluffy white towels and a white or neutral shower curtain to give your bathroom a spa-like feel.

⓷ Update your window treatments. If you have old and heavy drapes, toss them for something more modern and breezy. The more light, the better. This will brighten up your space and make it feel larger and more inviting.

⓸ Replace old area rugs. Buy rugs that fit your space and furniture. The right-sized rug in a complementary style to the room will make the space feel larger. Replacing a dated rug with a fresh, neutral one can immediately change a space.

⓹ Replace dated light fixtures with something more modern. Old brass or chrome ceiling lights or chandeliers can instantly make a home feel older. This is a small change that can make a big impact.

Thinking about selling? Listing your home takes some prep work if you want to sell quickly and for top dollar, even in a seller's market. If you want to create black Friday demand for your home (no matter what time of year it is), I have a few recommendations.

➀ Work with a reputable real estate agent who knows your neighborhood and understands the changing market. Make sure they have a strategy and proven marketing plan.

➁ Stage to sell. This means deep cleaning, decluttering, depersonalizing, and organizing your home. Focus on selling a lifestyle. You want buyers to envision themselves in your home. A little home staging can go a long way.

➂ Have a pricing strategy. We have seen a slight shift in the market in certain price points and areas, and it's more important than ever to not overprice your home. Trust your agent when they advise a price that will appeal to the most amount of buyers.

Have questions on where to start? Send me a message, I would love to put together a plan to prep your home for the market.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am so unbelievably thankful for all of my clients, and for the pleasure of serving you and your families. Whether it was helping you buy or sell (or both!) you drive me. You put the joy in what I do. You inspire me to aim higher, to do more every single day. And for that, I am forever grateful.

Every day from now until January, let’s commit to gratitude. So no matter what else this year holds, we’ll all be able to remember the good, withstand the bad, and come through stronger when this crazy year comes to an end.

With the high inflation that we have seen this past year, saving seems to be more difficult than ever, and saving up enough to buy a home can feel almost impossible.

Here are a few ideas and strategies to help save for a downpayment:

1. Crack down on your budget.
Make sure you have a monthly budget in place and follow it.
2. Reduce or cut back on dining out or getting takeout. Plan out your meals, check for local sales and coupons, and buy in bulk if possible.
3. Skip a vacation this year, and plan a staycation instead.
4. Set up automatic transfers from your checking to your savings account each month.
5. Put away tax returns, raises, bonuses, etc. into a high-yield savings account.
6. Pick up a side hustle like freelancing, ridesharing, pet sitting, or babysitting, or get a part-time job. Remember, it's short term to achieve your goal of homeownership!

Although 20% down allows you to avoid monthly mortgage insurance, there are loan programs that allow for as little as 3-5% down.

With interest rates continuing to rise, buyers are becoming more price-conscious than ever. If you were ready to buy before rates increased, don't let the current rates deter you from purchasing a home this year.

Don't shy away from inviting guests over just because you have a small apartment, kitchen, or dining room!

I've put together a list of a few ways you can pull together a perfect party where guests will embrace the charm of your cozy space.

① Clean & minimize your clutter

Designate a space for coats & bags, and declutter as much as possible. The less clutter, the larger your space will feel.

② Keep decor low-key

Try using simple centerpieces such as a small bouquet or dried flowers in lieu of large centerpieces, and keep the color scheme monochromatic or neutral to lessen the visual clutter.

③ Get creative with seating & repurpose rooms

Don't be afraid to get creative by pulling tables together or transforming the living room into the dining room, or use a bench in lieu of dining room chairs in order to squeeze extra seats around the table. A coffee table can instantly become a "dining area" when covered with a solid white tablecloth. Cozying up with close friends during a meal can make the experience much more memorable and fun!

④ Split up appetizers and / or outsource part of the meal

If you're short on space in the dining room, put a few apps on the coffee table and the dining room buffet to discourage guests from congregating in one spot. Have a small kitchen? Pick up part of the meal from a local restaurant to give you more space to entertain (and less cleanup), or make it a potluck dinner, and have each guest bring part of the meal!

With a little planning and creativity, you can open your home to loved ones and create cherished memories regardless of square footage. However, if you're thinking it may be time to find a larger home, I'd love to help. Shoot me a message and let's discuss how we can find you your perfect entertaining space before the holiday season next year!

‘Tis the season to plan your gift list! With the holiday season now in full swing, let's keep small businesses top of mind when tackling our shopping lists.

It's no secret that over the past 3 years, the pandemic has impacted our country's many small businesses in numerous challenging ways. While there's no arguing that online shopping can be convenient, it's important to shop locally this holiday season to:

• Support the community
• Shop sustainably
• Receive better customer service
• Find more unique, locally made / sourced products
• Get to know the face behind the business and people in your local community
• Reduce your carbon footprint

Supporting small businesses is a win for you and for your community. Don’t forget to consider local restaurants, coffee shops, gyms, and spas for gift cards and stocking stuffers. No matter what you buy, if you shop local, you're putting your money where your home is, and that’s the best gift of all.

Believe it or not, the holiday season can be a great time to sell your home and is often overlooked as a prime time to sell. Although there may be fewer buyers in the market, the people who are looking are much more serious about finding a home within a specific timeframe, especially this year due to the pent-up demand and the lack of inventory in the market.

Below are a few tips if you're selling your home during the holiday season, to help you sell quickly, and for top dollar.

➊ Simple staging for the holidays.

Homes can look their BEST during the holidays, but it’s important not to go overboard. Think clean and cozy. Too many decorations or anything too large can distract buyers and make your home feel too crowded or cluttered. Minimizing décor will make your home feel more spacious. It is also a good idea to avoid offending buyers by opting for general decorations rather than items with religious themes.

➋ Focus on curb appeal.

During these winter months, your lawn may not be that lush green that it usually is during the summertime, and your trees may be barren. Add a fresh coat of paint where needed, get a new festive welcome mat, hang a wreath on the front door, add fresh mulch to the flowerbeds, and make sure all of your shrubs are trimmed.

➌ Price competitively.

Pricing your home correctly is crucial whenever you decide to sell, and the holidays are no different. Listen to your agent, as they are the local expert. They will compare similar homes that have recently sold with similar features and benefits to land on a price. It's important not to overprice your home expecting a lower offer, as that can backfire badly.

➍ Get professional photos & video.

Have photos / video taken before your holiday decor is on display. Make a good first impression by getting lots of flattering, high-quality photos of your home. Most people are starting their home search on their phones, so professional photography is crucial in making an impact.

The market over the past few years has been tough for buyers, to say the least. However, now that interest rates are on the rise, we have seen buyers backing out of the market, not wanting to "overpay" for a home.

→ Swipe to see a different perspective on how higher interest rates may affect your payment, and how it's not as bad as the narrative is being told.

The ideal scenario is to buy a home when both interest rates and home prices are low, but that isn’t always possible. So, as you’re considering home prices versus interest rates, it’s important to keep in mind that one isn’t necessarily better than the other.
