For the past few years, affordability has stopped a lot of buyers in their tracks.

But here’s something you may have missed while you were sitting on the sidelines.

Housing affordability has improved in all 50 states over the past year. That’s according to new research from First American.

Now, this doesn’t mean buying a home is suddenly affordable for everyone. But the squeeze a lot of buyers felt over the last few years is finally starting to ease.

Want to see how affordability has changed in our area? DM me.

The Best Week To List Your House Is Almost Here – Are You Ready?

If selling your house is on your to-do list this year, the time to start prepping is now! According to a recent Realtor.com study, April 13-19 is expected to be the ideal window to put your house on the market in 2025. Their research analyzed years of housing market trends and found that "a seller listing a well-priced, move-in ready home is likely to find success" during this period.

Why does this week stand out? 🤔 Spring is traditionally a strong season for sellers, but this particular week offers even bigger advantages. You can expect more buyers looking at your home due to high seasonal demand, a faster sale from serious buyers eager to move before summer, and a better chance of selling for top dollar—potentially averaging $4,800 more than other weeks (and $27,000 more than earlier in the year). 💸

With just a few weeks left before this prime listing window, you'll need to work smart and act fast. Working with a great real estate agent can help you figure out exactly what needs to be done, prioritize high-impact tasks, and determine if any quick fixes could help attract buyers. As Investopedia notes, "You won't have time for any major renovations, so focus on quick repairs to address things that could deter potential buyers."

Don't worry if you're not quite ready—while April 13-19 may be projected as ideal, it's certainly not the only good time to sell this season. Remember, timing isn't everything—how well you prep and price your home matters just as much!
