🤳 It's so tempting to download an app or head online and look at homes for sale.

You might even have Zillow on your phone right now, (I get it!)

And that's ok... but I don't recommend you start your home search on these sites or rely on them solely when buying a home.

Here's why -

🏡 Saving homes won't get you closer to being a homeowner.

If you're not paying cash, we need to start with getting you pre-approved for a mortgage. That way, you know your budget and won't waste time looking at homes that aren't right for you.

🏡 While you can set "filters" for your home search, an expert can guide you to the latest listings that better match your needs.

You might see on the app that a home looks perfect for you! But the sites don't know that there's a development planned nearby that's going to result in more traffic and add time to your commute.

A pro agent knows not just what to look for in a home but also in the area.

✨ Instead, I recommend that we have a conversation about exactly what you're looking for in a home and what's important in your life.

From there, I have access to the latest listings as soon as they hit the market and can tailor the results to what will best suit your unique needs. 🥂

To get started with your personalized home search, contact me at 321-438-8677

This living room is 🤩🤩🤩

The dark wall color, paired with pops of color in furniture and artwork + brass decor accents nods gracefully to an earlier design era.

Not to mention the furniture style, unique wall sconces, books for decor, and classic rug design... 😍

It reflects elegance, class, and charm - so if that's what you're going for in your own living room, be sure to use this room for inspo!

💞 You deserve a kitchen to love 💞
A kitchen where...

🍽️ memories are made
🍽️ traditions are created
🍽️ meals are savored

And it's just plain easier to meal prep for the week and functional for your busy schedule! 🙌

The latest home appliances, more counter space, and trending interior design are all features that makeup dream kitchens!

So, if your kitchen isn't what you want it to be, let's find you one that is!

With more homes on the market, there are more options out there - and one could likely be your dream kitchen 😍

Let me know what you're looking for in a kitchen (and home + area), and I'll send you listings that match those criteria.

You never know until you look!

This laundry room is 🙌 🙌 🙌 & makes doing laundry a little less of a chore!

So, how can you create a similar aesthetic in your own home?

Check out the video for the main elements to recreate the look.

😍 That subway tile & the custom cabinetry are my personal favorites.

But what about you? Could your laundry room use a refresh? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Whether you're 👀 watching your expenses, 💰 saving up for a big purchase, 📈 or looking to set aside more in savings, there are many ways to save as a homeowner.

And let's be honest, we could all use a little savings!

So, give one of these 5 ideas a try -

💸 CONDUCT A UTILITY AUDIT 💸 
Is money literally draining away thanks to your water or electric usage? Start by reviewing your utility bills and then look for opportunities for savings. You can do this on your own or work with a pro.

💸 MAKE UPGRADES OVER TIME 💸 
Upgrading to programmable thermostats, energy-efficient appliances, low-flow toilets, and additional insulation can be upfront expenses that pay off. Spread out the cost by selecting the upgrades that will give you the highest return and start with them first.

💸 LEVERAGE A HOME WARRANTY 💸 
Large repairs can quickly add up! If you've recently purchased a home, you might have a home warranty that can cover the expenses of costly repairs to large appliances or even issues with your heating and A/C.

If you don't have one, you might still be able to get one! Let me know if you'd like to be connected to a reputable home warranty co.

💸 DIY YOUR NEXT PROJECT 💸 
Before you spend money on a professional landscaper, painter, or the like, is this a project you can do yourself? From mowing your own lawn to learning an easy home repair skill, you can save a significant amount of money each year!

💸 TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ALL TAX CREDITS 💸 
Talk to your CPA to verify all that you might qualify for because there are deductions you might be able to take if you work from home, remodeled, or even installed solar panels. Also, don't forget to claim the homestead exemption for property taxes!

Each of these ways can easily add up over the year and mean more money back into your pocket! 🚩 So be sure to save this post to come back to.

Dreaming of buying a home in 2023? 🏡 🙌

Let’s get you on your way with some smart New Year’s Resolutions ⤵️

💰 START SAVING 💰
Skip your daily coffee out, avoid ordering takeout, and cut back on unnecessary expenses. And see if you can put a portion of your income automatically each month into savings.

📈 MONITOR YOUR CREDIT 📈
Be extra careful about paying your bills on time and check your credit report for any errors. This isn’t the time to be making large purchases or increasing your debt-to-income ratio. 

🎓 LEARN ABOUT THE MARKET & PROCESS 🎓
Take time to learn about the process of buying your home and our local market conditions. Even if you’re not a first-time buyer, the market has changed over the last few years. The more knowledgeable you are, the more confident you will be!

🏠 WORK WITH THE RIGHT AGENT 🏠
Finally, choose an agent (like me!) to work with who can guide you throughout your homebuying journey, is experienced in the area you want to move, and who you trust working with.

If you make the resolutions to save, mind your credit, learn, and work a pro, you’ll have a much smoother homebuying process!

What do the experts have to say about the 2023 market and will it be different than this year? 🤔

Let’s start by recognizing that the past several years have been unprecedented in real estate!

🏘️ So, as we look toward a new year, here’s what we might expect -

NAR’s Chief Economist, Lawrence Yun, “expects home sales to decline by 7%, while the national median home price will increase by 1%, with some markets experiencing price gains and others price declines.

Yun also projects a strong rebound for housing in 2024, with a 10% jump in home sales and a 5% increase in the national median home price.”

We can also predict that:
👉 There won’t be a housing crash. The conditions that led to the ‘08 crash were nothing like today.
👉 Inventory (or availability of homes for sale) will still remain low. 
👉 Signs point to mortgage rates topping out. 
👉 The rental market will continue to be competitive, especially in the suburbs. 
👉 The concept of a “buyer’s” or “seller’s” market, may be replaced with a more balanced market.

As for my prediction, I know that you’ll need an experienced pro to guide you through whatever the market brings.

So, whether you have a question or need help, don’t hesitate to reach out in 2023!
