Never a better time to purchase your new home especially with the signing of SB 102 by Governor DeSantis last month.

The declining mortgage-rate streak continued, though the 30-year, fixed-rate drop from last week’s 6.28% to this week’s 6.27% was relatively small.

Home selling strategy: Set the stage! 🏡

Buyers are looking for a change in lifestyle. Before your home hits the market, set the stage for the lifestyle someone may live in the home.

When staging your home, it's important to think beyond your own daily life. Try rearranging furniture, bringing in new decor or repurposing rooms to help showcase the lifestyle buyers are looking for. 🤩

Thinking about purchasing a home? This is your next step! 🏡

Even if you're not quite ready to buy, it's a great time to meet with a lender. A lender can take a good look at your financial picture with you and help you get "mortgage-ready" by helping you understand the process and requirements.

From ways to improve your credit score, to how much you need to save up for a down payment, a lender can help guide you on the next steps to take in order to qualify for a loan.

Homeownership might be closer than you think! A lender is able to give you a clearer picture of what actions you need to take to be ready. 🔑

Reach out if you're ready to discuss more. I can connect you with trusted lenders in our market. 📲

Market Monday! 📈

"Is the market going to crash?" is a trending question right now. If this question has been on your mind, I have good news for you. Experts say that there isn't a crash looming on the horizon. 🌅

When you compare our current housing market to the 2008 crash, there are a few major factors that help explain why the market will remain strong this time around.

Today, let's talk inventory! 🏘

First, housing inventory has been near record lows. Before the crash in 2008, there was a surplus of existing homes available and new construction was booming. That extra supply, when topped with the influx of foreclosures, led to falling home prices. 🔻

This time, we are on the opposite end of the spectrum, where supply hasn't been able to keep up with the demand from homebuyers. The lack of inventory, mixed with motivated buyers, led to an increase in home prices. 🔺

Housing inventory is now on the rise, but there certainly isn't the surplus that existed during 2008.

Based on this low-supply-high-demand equation, experts project that home price appreciation will continue. This means we will not see the same decline in home values and the housing market will remain strong. 💪

There is plenty of opportunity to succeed in this market. Whether you're buying or selling, I can help! Call or message if you're open to discussing what you are looking for. 📲

Home selling strategy: declutter and depersonalize! 📦

The goal here is to provide a clean, blank slate for buyers. Less is definitely more when preparing your home to list! Leave open space on counters, clear out closets and show off as much storage space as you can.

Pack away your personal items and stage with neutral accessories to allow buyers to visualize themselves in the home. 🤩

Great news for home buyers! The red-hot housing market is experiencing a rebalancing, which is creating more opportunities for buyers. 🔑

According to Holden Lewis, home and mortgage expert at NerdWallet, “the buyers who remain in the market will face less competition and have more homes to choose from.". 🏘
