❓ “CAN I BUY A HOME BEFORE I SELL MY CURRENT ONE?”

Possibly—but the right strategy depends on your individual situation.

Important considerations may include:
🏡 Your current home’s marketability
💰 Financing qualifications
📅 Timing
📝 Contract terms
🔑 Available inventory

Buying and selling at the same time can involve several moving pieces. Good planning and communication with your real estate professional and lender can help you understand your options.

Thinking about making a move? Let’s build a plan.

💙 WHY WE LOVE WHERE WE LIVE

Real estate isn’t just about houses and buildings—it’s also about the communities around them.

Today we’re highlighting Lee Richardson Zoo 🦒🦁🐒

Lee Richardson Zoo is one of Garden City’s most treasured community assets, providing families and visitors with a unique destination for recreation, education, and wildlife conservation. Beyond enhancing the quality of life for local residents, the zoo helps draw visitors to Garden City, supports tourism, and showcases the community as a welcoming place to live, work, and visit.

We appreciate the people and organizations that make Southwest Kansas a great place to do business and call home.

🍂 FIRST DAY OF FALL HOME TIP

A change of season is a good reminder to give your home a quick maintenance check.

Consider checking:
✔️ Gutters and drainage
✔️ Exterior caulking and weather seals
✔️ Heating system filters
✔️ Outdoor faucets and hoses
✔️ Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors

Routine maintenance can help protect your home and may help prevent small issues from becoming larger repairs.

Welcome, fall! 🍁

🏡 FINNEY COUNTY REAL ESTATE MARKET UPDATE | SEPTEMBER 2026

The market is changing—and whether you’re thinking about buying OR selling, understanding today’s numbers matters.

📊 Finney County currently has 8-12+ months of housing inventory.
What does that mean? At the current pace of sales, it would take more up to a year to sell the homes currently on the market if no additional homes were listed. That signals a market where buyers generally have more choices and sellers face more competition.

🔑 FOR BUYERS:
This market may give you something we haven’t seen as much of in recent years—options and negotiating power. With more homes to choose from, buyers may have more time to compare properties and potentially negotiate on price, repairs, closing costs or other terms. That doesn’t mean every seller will negotiate or that every property is overpriced, but it does mean buyers should understand where opportunities may exist.

🏠 FOR SELLERS:
Strategy matters more than ever. With increased competition, simply putting a home on the market and waiting may not be enough. Accurate pricing, condition, presentation and a coordinated marketing plan are critical. Buyers have choices, and your home needs to stand out from the competition from day one.

💡 THE BOTTOM LINE:
A changing market isn’t necessarily a bad market—it’s a market that requires a better strategy.

As your local real estate advisors, our job is to help you understand the numbers, evaluate your options and build a plan around YOUR real estate goals.
