Here’s a reminder to think about what fulfills your heart! At the end of the day, home is always where the heart is. One of our favorite things about real estate is that we are not just selling a piece of land or a house… we are selling a home! So, tell us, what does a dream home look like to you?

Let’s discuss another home-selling myth you need to stop believing:
❌ MYTH: Set a high asking price to allow room for negotiation
✔️ FACT: Contrary to what you may believe, this can actually drive buyers away because if your home is priced too high, buyers won’t bother even looking — especially considering comparable homes that are priced right.
If the demand is there, the price will naturally work its way up. Work with your agent to set a reasonable listing price to ensure you attract the right kinds of buyers and offers.

Here's the truth about this fall: there are currently more buyers looking for homes than there are homes for sale. This means that if you're looking to buy, you might find yourself in a competitive situation when you find the home you love. Here are a few things that I want you to keep in mind as you think about starting you
✨ You should always have a pre-approval letter in hand before you start house hunting. If you find something you love, the seller will probably not wait for you to go through the pre-approval process and you're likely to miss out.

✨ Decide in advance what you are willing to compromise on. If a backyard, an attached garage, and a fireplace are non-negotiable, will you settle for a smaller kitchen and no basement?

✨Think about what you will do if you find yourself in a multiple offer situation. Will you be comfortable offering over asking? Are you flexible on the close date? How much earnest money are you prepared to offer? These are all questions I can help you answer during a buyer consultation. If you'd like to start planning your upcoming home search, DM me and I'll send you my complimentary fall home buyer checklist to help you get started!

How long does it take to close on a house with cash?
Part of what makes closings take so long is the financing requirements, so buying with cash can expedite the process. If you’re buying with cash, you can close as few as seven days after contract ex*****on, assuming you’re willing to waive contingencies. However, only 23% of buyers purchase their homes with all cash.
How long does it take to close on a house with a mortgage?
Buyers who use conventional financing to purchase a home can expect to close 30-45 days after the contract is signed. Special loans, such as first-time home buyer programs, VA and FHA loans can take longer to close because the requirements are stricter.
