Its been a busy week in real estate!

03/18/2026

Many people start their home search by looking at bedrooms and square footage. But the homes that really matter are the ones that support how you live — whether that’s space for hobbies, outdoor living, workshops, gardens, or simply a unique setting. Here are a few interesting properties currently on the market that stood out to me this week.

Your home isn’t just competing with other listings…

It’s competing with brand new homes offering buyers tens of thousands in incentives.

Right now, many builders are offering:

Closing cost assistance
Interest rate buy-downs
Appliance packages

So when buyers compare options…

It’s not always:
“Which home do I like more?”

It becomes:
“Which deal makes more financial sense?”

That doesn’t mean you can’t win.

It just means your strategy matters more than ever.

The best sellers right now are:

✔ Pricing strategically
✔ Offering the right incentives
✔ Making their home feel move-in ready
✔ Understanding what buyers are comparing behind the scenes

If you’re thinking about selling, I can break down exactly what you’re competing against—and how to position your home to stand out.

🏡 The Lifestyle Test

Most people start their home search by looking at bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage.

But the homes people end up loving the most are the ones that support how they actually live.

Try this quick test:

🌿 Do you need space for hobbies?

Gardening, woodworking, art, restoring cars, or even a home gym might mean you need:

A workshop
Extra garage space
A sunny yard
A dedicated hobby room

🌳 Land or walkable lifestyle?

Would you rather have:

Acreage and privacy
or
Coffee shops, restaurants, and parks within walking distance?

🏊 Pool or workshop?
Some people dream of relaxing by the pool.
Others would trade that for a large garage or workshop in a heartbeat.

🚤 Water access or a large yard?
For some buyers, being close to boating, kayaking, or fishing is more important than having a bigger house.

The truth is, the right home isn’t just about the property — it’s about how well it fits your lifestyle.

That’s why when I help buyers search for homes, we start with how they live first, then find homes that match.

💬 Curious: What’s one feature your dream home absolutely needs?

Many buyers start their home search with bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage. But the best homes are the ones that support how you actually live.

Love gardening? You might need great sun exposure and space for raised beds.
Have hobbies like woodworking, art, or restoring cars? A workshop or large garage matters more than a formal dining room.
Enjoy kayaking, fishing, or boating? Location near water access could be key.

Finding the right home isn’t just about the house — it’s about your lifestyle.

I specialize in helping buyers find properties that support their hobbies, interests, and daily routines so their home truly works for them. . 🏡
