🌺💵 GOOD NEWS FOR SELLERS THIS MONTH - Homes listed in late April sell faster and above asking price.
A Redfin and Home Economics analysis identifies late April as the sweet spot for home sellers!
🏡 GOOD NEWS FOR BUYERS - as May and June roll around, you should see more homes come to market; however, you’ll likely find more buyer competition out there too! If you’re serious about making a purchase this season, choose an experienced buyer’s agent, be financially prepared with documentation in hand, be readily available to view properties once they’re showing, and be ready to make an offer and perform quickly via inspections, attorneys, etc.

FYI FOR HOMEOWNERS 🚩
Something to be aware of on a sunny day like today after a snow storm…

How Ice Dams Form
1 Heat Escapes: Warm air from your home leaks into the attic due to poor insulation or air leaks (e.g., around vents, chimneys, or light fixtures).
2 Snow Melts: This escaping heat warms the upper roof surface to above 32°F (0°C), melting the bottom layer of snow.
3 Water Runs Down: The melted water flows down the shingles toward the roof’s edge.
4 Refreezing: When the water reaches the eaves—which are not over heated living space and remain below freezing—it turns back into ice.
5 The “Dam” Effect: As this cycle repeats, a thick barrier of ice builds up, trapping liquid water behind it. 

Why It’s Dangerous
Ice dams are more than just a nuisance; they can cause severe damage to your home: 
• Roof Leaks: Trapped water pools behind the ice and is forced upward under shingles, eventually leaking into the attic and through ceilings or walls.
• Structural Damage: The excessive weight of the ice can tear off gutters, loosen shingles, and even threaten the structural integrity of the roof.
• Mold & Rot: Persistent moisture leads to wood rot, wet insulation (which loses its effectiveness), and the growth of mold and mildew.

24+ years in this business, and the one thing I know for sure…real estate isn’t a ladder—it’s a heartbeat. I’m grateful to receive this 2025 office award🥉 Although it looks a little different than last year’s, the pride I feel is real. In other industries, “success” is often a straight line. As a real estate agent, success is the grit you find during the “down” years, the late-night problem solving, and the constant pivots that two decades of experience have taught me to navigate. It’s not just about the market; it’s about the people who trust you, and the ones you can count on when things get complicated and challenges arise. To my clients and colleagues - thank you for being part of the journey 🫶
Here’s to the ups, the downs, and everything in between ✨🏘️

The majority of local homeowners aren’t moving anytime soon. On average, they have now lived in their home for roughly 15 years, which is more than double from the early 2000s. Why the change?
Having an extremely low mortgage rate, higher existing home prices, and the resulting continued tight inventory have turned most homes today into long-term holds, keeping listings scarce and competition elevated - even when buyer demand wanes.
Looking forward to the highly anticipated lower mortgage rates on the horizon to loosen the inventory for the spring and summer markets!
