Home inspections are BACK! Buyers, this is great news for you. You can ask for inspections and it's not the one hang up that bumps you to the bottom of the pile. Because almost everyone is getting inspections nowadays. Sellers, this is a return to normality (not a reason to panic). Housing inventory is still short, so most buyers aren't looking for an "out" they're simply looking to understand what they're buying.

Expect an inspection.
Expect a response that comes with an ask.
Expect a negotiation.

These are typical stages in a purchase contract, not the end of the world. But, I'm still here to chat if you're getting in your head about it 🥰

Genuine question here, folks, because I really am curious. When we start in real estate I think everyone is encouraged to make the generic "just listed" or "offer accepted" posts to get out names out there and so our friends and family know we do real estate. But, to the regular person, are those helpful? Do you care? Certainly no shade to my fellow realtors out there, but this question has been rattling around my brain for a few weeks so I wanted to get it out there. Tell me your opinions in the comments! (But be nice, we're not here to bash people 😘)

Please, current and future buyers, please listen to me when I say you NEED your pre-approval before you're writing offers on homes.

Submitting an offer without a pre-approval (or proof of funds) is not doing you any favors. Your pre-approval is so important for several reasons:
🔸the lender you work with matters
🔸The company you work with ALSO matters
🔸The letter states how much you can actually afford!

Your pre-approval not only gives you the budget you can work within, it proves to sellers that you can put your money where your mouth is. Without one, your offer is incomplete.

Part of my job as a listing agent is to protect my sellers best interests, and ensuring the buyer they're working with actually has money to buy their house with is pretty pivotal. Would you sell your home to someone you don't know and just assume they can afford it? I wouldn't!

Don't feel ready to buy a house? That's fine! No one feels ready. The difference between those who bought and those who are still renting? They made a decision.

You must decide you want to buy a home. This market is simply too tough for those who are on the fence. If you're going back and forth, waiting for the "right" time or feeling... You'll be waiting for a while. The buyers who succeed in this market make a decision, stick with it, and see it through to the end.

Now, have you made YOUR decision?

What it looks like before you tour a beautiful home. There's one thing for certain, spacious homes help you get your steps in! 😅

Most for sale by owner properties (aka FSBOs or "fiz-boes") have stubborn sellers, which makes sense because they already have a can-do attitude. I say, all power to them! 💪🏻 But, if you'd like my help I'll be there in a heartbeat. It isn't easy to sell a home in a shifting market (like this one) and there's no shame in needing some help!

Telling me how I should run my business? That's not the same as wanting my services. If you had all the answers, you wouldn't be calling me in the first place...

And when you're ready to give your sale a different approach, I'll be ready!

As long as you're respectful 😉

Bidding wars are a drag (unless you're a seller! 😅)

Sometimes it's the patient buyers who succeed in this market! If the idea of a bidding war makes your stomach turn it is possible to avoid them, provided you're patient.

And also willing to let the shiniest listings go to someone else.

The cream of the crop will always sell quick. But the ones with ugly photos, cosmetic issues that could indicate deferred maintenance, and/or are over priced are the OPPORTUNITY properties.

The ugly ducklings that just need a bit of love and imagination.

These are the homes my buyers get and then they build equity to support their futures.

Your home doesn't have to be perfect when you buy it. In fact, I think some of the best buys have wallpaper, lack landscaping, and smell like Grandma's house.

It's Monday morning, you had a great weekend. You hop on your favorite app for scrolling homes to see what's new. The newest are always at the very top, but you scroll down a bit. You see a home that's 5 or 6 days on market...

Wow! Most homes are selling in 2 or 3 days, you think. Did I stumble upon the one, beautiful, overlooked property in my desired town?!
..sorry, but probably not. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is! Most often, buyers and sellers are negotiating on a Monday or Tuesday, especially if they had a busy weekend of showings. The serious buyers were out shopping on their days off and their offers are already in.

Are you thinking right now about how much this pattern sucks and is totally exhausting?

ME TOO !!!

Let's shake your strategy up and get you into a home, not just into 100 open houses.

A couple of weeks ago I was interviewed by Nashua Ink Link about the housing market in Nashua! Check out the article here: https://nashua.inklink.news/dreaming-of-buying-a-house-in-nashuas-super-tight-market-heres-the-reality/?fbclid=IwY2xjawTSIi1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEex5pwZ2sTOSvci1-mnXlXmab5MaaJM3YoNbe7fS1wuBAj1uj2TxPnhWtFYbo_aem_IsOa5ATqVyEiiFmPJKIxyQ

That said, finding a home to buy in Nashua “is not impossible,” Realtor Bailey Luthi, a longtime Nashua-based broker with Keller-Williams, says. The Nashua market “is always tight,” Luthi said, and now it’s “particularly tight.” But there are still options for home buyers.

Is your pre-approval pulling its weight? Perhaps not...

Who you choose to work with for your mortgage matters. A lot.

Sellers want easy, quick, reliable, seamless. Why do you think they like cash offers so much? If your lender isn't reliable or well-known in your region it's very likely your offer will be passed over. I've had sellers accept lower offers with a stronger lender because we were more confident the deal would close. Sometimes ease and simplicity are more important than another thousand or two dollars.

You can substantially improve your success rate when house hunting with the right lender. And when you're ready to get that ball rolling, let me know! After a quick chat I'll know who of my trusted mortgage brokers will be the best fit for you.

And we'll get you to the closing table. Because that's what matters most, right?
