Heads up!

The best week to sell your home in 2026 is April 12-18, and it's coming up fast.

Here's why this week stands out: homes listed during this window historically sell for up to $5,300 more than the average week, attract 16.7% more buyer views, sell about 9 days faster, face nearly 12% less competition from other sellers, and are far less likely to need a price reduction.

53% of sellers take one month or less to prep their home for listing, so if you've been thinking about selling this spring, now is the time to start.

Interesting read.

Agents - some must share advice for your buyers! ⬇️

Many buyers have focused on simply getting into a home, no matter the location. But what seems like a small compromise can become a long-term regret.

Remember, you can always update the walls, change the lighting, or remodel the kitchen -but if the neighborhood doesn’t fit your lifestyle, that’s much harder to fix.

This! For several reasons.

First, a lack of transactional knowledge could give represented buyers an advantage when negotiating repairs and closing costs. It’s important to have someone advocating for you.

Second, establishing value is VITAL in this market. Zillow’s algorithms haven’t see the comparable homes it’s using to give your estimate of value.

Want to know what your home is really worth? Call a PSA (pricing strategy advisor) designated REALTOR - that’s me!

Skipping a real estate agent to save on commission often costs buyers and sellers far more in the long run, experts warn. The median home sold through an agent last year fetched $435,000, compared to $380,000 for FSBO sales, a $55,000 difference. Even after paying agent commissions of $13,000 to $26,000, sellers still come out ahead by at least $29,000.

"This is the biggest financial decision of your life," says broker Michelle Mumoli. "Don't go looking for discounts on professionals; you'll get discount service that'll cost you a lot more."

Things haven’t stopped, but they HAVE changed.

Some homes are sitting.
Some are selling fast.
And most people aren’t totally sure why.

I don’t make decisions based on some magic number of days.

I watch the market. And the market talks.

In those first couple weeks, I’m paying attention to:
• How many showings we’re getting compared to similar homes
• How many people are saving it or reaching out
• What buyers are actually saying (and whether it’s consistent)
• If we’re making short lists… or getting skipped

If other homes like yours are moving and we’re not building momentum, that’s not bad luck. That’s positioning.

And here’s the part sellers don’t always love to hear: the longer a home sits without real engagement, the more negotiating power shifts away from you.

Price adjustments aren’t emotional. They’re not panic moves.
They’re smart, strategic corrections.

The market doesn’t take months to send signals.
It sends them fast — you just have to know how to read them.

And that’s where my unique understanding of pricing, negotiations, and the market come in.
