A lot of friends have been asking me about appraisal gaps and how to navigate them- So here's some helpful info to answer these questions...

With how quickly this market is appreciating, comparable sales can be lagging, which causes what we call an “appraisal gap.”

What can you do in this situation?

IF YOU’RE A BUYER:

✅ Submit recent comps to your appraiser for consideration
✅ Add appraisal gap coverage to your offer
✅ Waive the appraisal contingency (in some cases)

IF YOU’RE A SELLER:

✅ Don’t accept an offer solely on price
✅ Look at a buyer’s mortgage qualifications
✅ Look at conditions – such as waived contingencies

Read my latest blog post to learn more about how appraisals work and the benefits and risks involved with these competitive tactics.

Curious how much your home has appreciated over the last year?! ⬆🏡
 Buyer demand is at an all-time high due to a combination of record-low interest rates and limited housing inventory. Here’s what that means for sellers...

💥 You have gained equity
💥 You’ll likely earn a great ROI
💥 You won’t have a lot of competition
💥 You’re in a strong position to negotiate terms

It's important to remember that real estate is LOCAL, not national. If you're curious what home appreciation 📈 is looking like for a specific area, message me! 📩

I think everyone knows by now... it's a SELLER'S MARKET! 🏡
So sellers, you may be tempted to sell your home yourself to save a little cash 💰 After all, aren’t buyers lining up around the block as soon as a new listing hits?

🙌 Here’s the TRUTH…

The median sales price for FSBOs is 10% less 📉 than homes sold with the help of a real estate agent 😳 So, while you may think you’ll price and market your home more effectively than an agent, you actually may end up underpricing it or negotiating less effectively 💸

✨ One of the MANY reasons to work with a local real estate agent when selling your home! ✨

For more information on whether you should list your home with or without an agent, visit my latest blog post or shoot me message:

The housing market is on fire 🔥🔥🔥

While many areas of the economy contracted due to COVID-19, real estate has remained a bright spot. Factors like record-low mortgage rates 📉, pent-up buyer demand 💸, low inventory
🏠, and a sudden wave of relocations 🚚 made possible by remote work have all contributed to strong sales and price appreciation across the board in 2020.

But can the good news last?

As the spring market approaches, you may be asking yourself…

🤔 Should I take advantage of this opportunity and sell?
🤔 Should I buy now or wait for prices to drop?
