It's been a busy week for Natalie Marrone Homes and despite our team's best attempts to analyze the data as quickly as it comes, the housing market continues to wax and wane, like a finicky teenager. In some cases, we sweat through 48 hour bid wars, and in others homes struggle to attract interest even with unprecedented price drops. The third trickster (that we should be discussing more) is the 10% loss of home values in certain parts of the triangle that is making it very difficult for buyers to move into a contract that may or may not appraise. Sellers who bought 3 years ago seem to be a bit under water in this market. One of the success stories you see below took 3 contract attempts to finally find the right scenario. We were fortunate to find a seller willing to refund our (normally non-refundable) due diligence deposit should the appraisal fall short during the due diligence period. As it turned out we negotiated hard enough on purchase price that we had no issues. But negotiating hard on my end, also means the seller sometimes brings money to the table.
Fastidious? Finicky? Our buyer pool continues to be the most cautious and hyper concerned about the details.
I've got two sets of buyers this week who successfully closed. The leap of faith is never frivolous. It takes years of building relationships, strategic planning and then cultivating the correct buyer opportunity. Grateful to my clients for their continued trust and letting me lead with conviction in a challenging time.

Great day for inspection with my buyers! This is how we roll! In the state of NC home inspectors do not actually get on the roof anymore but they do evaluate from inside the attic and do a visual from the street level. So while my inspector is working inside-Im always doubling up with having my roofer evaluate from the top. Thank you Saltbox Construction for your partnership! This roof, although only 5 years old has several issues that we will need to resolve before closing.

If you are in the market to buy, mortgage rates just came down to the 5's. President Trump has ordered Fannie and Freddie to purchase 200 billion in mortgage backed securities driving mortgage rates down.

President Donald Trump said Thursday he had ordered “my representatives” to buy $200 billion in mortgage bonds in an attempt to drive down interest rates and monthly payments, writing in a Truth Social post.
