Are you stuck in the past? 😨

Many potential buyers are.

They’re hung up on the record-low interest rates we saw from 2020 to 2022, which only happened due to a historic economic downturn as a result of the pandemic. 📉

But here’s what you need to keep in mind now: Interest rates actually have been at 8.03% on average for almost the last 50 years.

Now it's time to focus on the fact that interest rates are actually BELOW average compared to historical rates.

Rates fluctuate with the economy, and they’re always changing. This allows you to refinance to a lower rate down the line if interest rates drop. 🏦

Remember, the only thing that’s permanent about your mortgage is the sale price you buy the home at. You can change your interest rate later on!

🗣️ Most agents say it over and over again:

Selling your home by yourself is one of the BIGGEST mistakes you can make as a home seller–in any market.

Sellers who sell their homes without an agent usually sell for 11% less than those who use an agent. 💸

You could miss out on 11% of your home’s sale and deal with WAY more headaches if you sell without an agent. 😥

Usually, sellers think that going the “for sale by owner” route will SAVE them money because they won’t have to pay a seller’s agent commission.

But the knowledge and expertise of an agent will nearly always net you MORE on the sale of your house than the commission you’d pay an agent.

If you want to sell your home for maximum profit and have a smooth selling experience, you’ll want to consider selling your home with the support of a seller’s agent. 💼

The secret’s out. 🤫

Buying a new construction home could be a smart move for many first-time buyers.

Want modern amenities and design? 🪑

Want to be able to make your home exactly how you like it? 🖼️

Or what about paying less for utilities and maintenance? 🔨

If any of these appeal to you, then you might want to start looking at new construction homes as your first home.

Plus, many new construction homes come with incentives to help you get the most bang for your buck.

Want to avoid having the same regret?

This regret is one that sellers commonly have, but it’s an easy one to avoid.

Their regret? Not understanding the local market conditions and trends, which results in missed opportunities for a better sale. 😭

If you want to get the most out of selling your home, you need to understand what’s going on in your local area’s market–not just the real estate market as a whole.

Sometimes local markets don’t exactly reflect what’s happening in the overall real estate market.

For example, the real estate market could be moving pretty slowly, but some areas will have a hot seller’s market with lots of buyers fueled by people moving into the area. 📈

Knowing what’s going on in your area and how those factors will affect the real estate market will help you make the most of the opportunities at your fingertips.

Your real estate agent is an invaluable resource here as they’ll have the knowledge and experience you need as well as access to all the latest data on the market. 💼

Sometimes it’s the little things.

When you’re trying to buy a home, it’s all about understanding your financial readiness and getting approved for a mortgage. 🏠

Before you start the homebuying process, you need to get clear on your financial situation. 🏦 This means knowing and understanding your:
- income
- debts
- savings
- credit score

Having this understanding will allow you to get pre-approved for a mortgage that works for you. This will give you a budget range so you can make offers that you’ll get approved for.

With this done, you’ll be able to confidently enter the homebuying process ready to make fast decisions.

Plus, having a pre-approval in hand will show sellers that you’re serious about buying a home, so they’ll be more likely to choose your offer. 🎉

Quick PSA: Starting August 17th, you will need to sign the buyer agreement and formally hire your REALTOR ® BEFORE touring any homes. REALTORS ® will not be able to show you any homes without that agreement in place first.

Make sure to ask for references, talk with family and friends, and interview different agents to find the one who will work best for you.

This is the selling secret some people don’t want to hear. 😥

But it’s so important to understand!

If you price your home at its market value, you’ll likely miss out on a ton of possible buyers and a potential bidding war. 😭

Buyers who see homes listed at their market values tend to nitpick and see the imperfections or the parts of the home that don’t meet their expectations as big issues.

Because the buyers don’t see the home as a “deal,” they’re more likely to push on negotiations or just wait for a home they like better to come on the market.

This can lead to a stagnant listing and long negotiations—and it can get even worse if your home is priced too high!

Developing a pricing strategy with the help of a knowledgeable real estate agent will help you get the best deal when selling your home. 🏡

Let’s be honest.

It can be hard to time selling your home and buying your next home in a way that would allow you to seamlessly move from your old home to your next home. 📦

Due to all of the factors that influence our local market, figuring out the timing can be a little challenging. ⏳

That’s where your agent comes in! Your agent can help you develop a strategy and contingency plans so no matter what life throws your way, you’ll be prepared. ✅
