Around this time of year, I get asked if there's still "enough time" to get a home listed and sold before the end of the year.

Let's look at the data ⤵

🏠 Inventory levels are still low compared to historical averages and it's still expected to be a seller's market in most areas surrounding Phoenix.

📉 The recent mortgage rate drop increases buyers’ purchasing power and will likely motivate buyers who've been waiting on the sidelines to enter the market.

💰The median home price in the U.S. sits around $430K but economic research suggests that, on average, home prices increase by 5 to 10 percentage points for every 1 percentage point decrease in interest rates.

Of course, local factors will have a big influence on these predictions.

Mortgage rates have been dropping (Hallelujah! 🙏)

The question everyone is now wondering: "Should I refinance??"

Refinancing your mortgage and securing a lower interest rate can mean substantial long-term savings.

But deciding whether to refinance your home depends on several factors...

🔖 Here’s how to evaluate if it’s a good time to refinance:

YOUR CURRENT RATE
A general rule of thumb is to refinance your mortgage when interest rates are at least 1% lower than your current rate.

COSTS OF REFINANCING
The cost to refinance your mortgage can range from 2% to 4% of the loan amount. You want to be sure that potential savings will outweigh total closing costs.

YOUR "BREAK-EVEN" POINT
Your break-even point is when you will recoup all the closing costs that come with refinancing your loan. For example, if your closing costs are $5,000 and your monthly savings from refinancing is $200 per month, it would take you 25 months to break even.

YOUR FUTURE PLANS
If you plan to stay in your home for several more years, refinancing could be a smart move, but if there's a good chance you'll relocate before reaching your break-even point, it's worth reconsidering.

Picture this... It's me, knocking on your door to come and chat about listing your home.

These meetings are never one-size-fits-all but there are a few elements that I always include

Listen and listen good
So often, agents will come in and start rattling off all the things they can do to get your home sold. Instead, I think it's most important to hear from the seller first - to learn what's most important to them, to hear about the home, and understand their goals for the sale.

Explore the home
With a walkthrough of your home, I begin to understand what you love about it, its unique features, and its selling potential.

Market data & suggestions
I'll take the information shared in our first meeting and get to work on gathering information. I'll compile market trends and recent sales to provide you the latest information on your home’s value. I'll also provide suggestions (my pre-listing checklist!) that will help prepare your home for market.

The selling game plan
With the above in mind, we'll develop a strategic marketing plan to highlight your home’s strengths, price it right from the get-go, repair and stage as needed, grab high quality imagery and video, and ultimately attract the right buyers.

Your resource and advocate When we work together, you’ll receive complimentary, easy-to-follow guides, checklists, and resources that will provide valuable insights and answers to questions about the selling process - plus my cell number so I'm always a call or text away.
If this sounds like the type of listing services you’re interested in, I’d love to connect with you.

One of the biggest indicators of VALUE when people sell their homes...

It's the school district!

Homes in sought-after school districts are \*always\* in demand.

It makes sense why:

1) School quality and reputation

Great schools attract families with school-aged children. 42% of buyers ages 31-41 — those most likely to have young children — are influenced by school district quality.

2) Property values

Homes in high-performing suburban school districts are valued 49% higher than the national average.

3) Demand and market dynamics

Areas and neighborhoods in desirable schools experience higher demand, multiple offers and quicker sales — 8 days quicker on average.

4) Appraisal value

Appraisers consider nearby schools when assessing property value. A positive school reputation can support higher appraisals and market value.

5) Neighborhood stability

School quality adds to neighborhood stability, drawing long-term homeowners willing and ready to invest in the community.

Questions? Let's connect - I’d love to show you what your home is worth.
