Not sure where to start if you’re thinking about moving? You’re not alone.

Right now, there are actually 4 different housing markets running at once, and each one plays by its own rules.

Cash buyers. Buyers taking out a mortgage. Homeowners feeling reluctant to give up their current low rate. And builders eager to sell their extra inventory.

Which group you fall in can completely change how you should approach your move. But that’s where an agent comes in.

We have the expertise on what to do for your specific situation and the strategies that are going to work for you.

Comment below and tell me which group you’re in. Let's figure out your next move from there.

If you’re selling this season, a little effort out front goes a long way. Because the moment a buyer pulls up to a showing, they're already forming an opinion.

But there are a few simple things you can do to nail that first impression. Think tidying up your landscaping, bringing in some seasonal flowers, and sweeping the walkways. Or even just cleaning out the gutters and making sure the path to your door is well lit.

You don’t need to do a big overhaul to get buyers’ attention.

Let’s chat about what people in our area are looking for right now, and get your house prepped to sell this fall.

Four different housing markets are running at once: cash buyers, financed buyers, locked-in owners, and builders. Each one plays by its own rules, and the right move for one is exactly the wrong move for another.

Let's figure out which one you're actually in and build your next move from there.

Please visit my website to see what my clients say about Me! www.hilaryhouses.com/testimonials

Today’s housing market splits into four distinct types. You’ve got cash buyers, buyers financing a purchase, owners who feel locked into a low rate, and builders with homes to sell.

Prepping your house to sell this fall and not sure where to focus? Start where buyers do – at the curb. Their first few seconds out front shape how buyers feel about the rest of the house.A few simple touches make a big difference. Freshen up the front door with a new coat of paint, touch up your landscaping or bring in seasonal flowers, sweep the walkways and clean the gutters, and make sure the path to the door is well lit. A great agent knows what today's buyers will notice, and which touch-ups are worth your time. So, let’s connect and get your house ready to turn heads this fall.
