While the current housing market is generally favorable to sellers due to today’s limited housing supply, there are still factors that can cause delays or even prevent a house from selling. Here are a few things to think about.

🔐Limited Access – If You Can’t Show It, You Can’t Sell It.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make as a seller is limiting the days and times when buyers can view your home. In any market, if you want to maximize the sale of your house, you can’t limit potential buyers’ ability to view it. Remember, minimal access equals minimal exposure.

🤑Priced Too High – Price It To Sell, Not To Sit.

Pricing is a critical factor that can significantly impact your home sale. While it's tempting to push the price higher to try to maximize your profit, overpricing can deter potential buyers and lead to your home sitting on the market longer. Jeff Tucker, Senior Economist at Zillow, notes, “. . . sellers who price and market their home competitively shouldn’t have a problem finding a buyer.”

🍋🧹Not Freshened Up Before Listing – If It Looks Good, It’ll Make a Good Impression.

When selling your house, the old saying “you never get a second chance to make a first impression” matters. Putting in the work on the exterior of your home is just as important as what you stage inside. Freshen up your landscaping to improve your home’s curb appeal so you can make an impact up front. But don’t let that stop at the front door. By removing personal items and reducing clutter inside, you give buyers more freedom to picture themselves in the home. Additionally, a new coat of paint or cleaning the floors can go a long way to freshening up a room.

When it comes to selling your house, you want three things: to sell it for the most money you can, to do it in a certain amount of time, and to do all of that with the fewest hassles.

🎆Did you know? More pets go missing during the 4th of July 🇺🇸weekend than any other weekend of the year. Here are some tips provided by to help keep your pets safe this weekend. 🐶🐰🐱

🏠1) Stay inside: Try to keep your pet indoors at all times during holiday celebrations. Ideally, someone stays home with your pet. Also keep your dog leashed 🦮when going out for walks.

🫶🏼2) Make them feel safe: Comfort your pets with petting, hugging, talking 💕to them in a soothing voice, providing a treat and staying nearby if possible. Make sure they can access their crate or “safe place.” Also
ask your veterinarian or local pet retailer about natural calming
products, anxiety wraps and other products that can help.

💥3) Avoid the noise. Try to drown out the fireworks sounds as much as possible by closing windows, 🪟playing music 🎶 or turning on the TV. 📺

👨🏽4) Act normal! Your pet takes cues from your and your family’s actions. It will help if you go about your normal routine as much as possible, talking 🗣and playing with your pet as usual.

⛑5) Protect your pet before the fireworks begin. There are a number of lost-pet devices and services available today, and it’s wise to be proactive in case your pet gets lost. Among the various pet-finder services available, the Pet Amber Alert ID Tag/Pet GPS combines Amber Alert technology with a QR Code and pet GPS to help MORE lost dogs, cats and even birds return home safely.

Thank you to my clients for trusting me with the purchase of their first home! We were able to find them a home after viewing only 4 homes. Their very 1st offer was accepted w/out removing any contingencies & we negotiated $10,000 in repairs. Collaborating w/ Escrow, lender, & seller’s agent we facilitated a perfectly timed transition from their previous lease to their new home. So very happy for my clients. If you or anyone you know is thinking or buying or selling, reach out anytime.

A little throwback to wish you a Happy 5 de Mayo! 🇲🇽🌮This picture was taken during our summer vacation to the Riviera Nayarit in 2018. 🏝

Many people are afraid to purchase a home for fear they may have to forgo other wants like travel 🛫, eating out🍔, shopping 🛍 habits etc. The secret to being able to afford a mortgage and all those other wants, lies in setting a realistic budget that will allow you to live comfortably. For starters, the bank will never lend you more than you can afford. So that’s one less thing to worry about. Set clear goals and work for the lifestyle you want and you will achieve them.

Bottom line, if you are financially able to purchase a home, do it. None of my buyers have ever regretted their home purchase and many of them even started to travel even more than before they owned a home.

If you or anyone you know needs real estate advice, feel free to reach out. I’m always available to help.

“Home sellers on the fence waiting for that perfect moment to sell should start preparations, because the best time to list a home in 2022 is approaching quickly. The week of April 10-16 is expected to have the ideal balance of housing market conditions that favor home sellers, more so than any other week in the year.” (Realtor.com)
