When you're getting your home ready to list, it's easy to come up with a long to-do list of updates or repairs that need to be made. Before you start painting your home or replacing your appliances, let's chat! What may seem like a priority now may be a minor detail down the road. 🏡

In the 2022 Home Sellers Report, recent sellers noted which home updates and repairs they initially planned on making vs. which ones they actually made before selling. The stats might surprise you!

For example, in the survey, only 34% of sellers initially planned on updating their landscaping, while a whopping 94% of sellers ended up taking on the project when it came down to it! 💯

As your agent, I can help guide you on your next steps. Based on your home's current condition and our local market trends, I can help you make a game plan for getting your home ready for market.

📣 Here's your friendly reminder that you don't need to put 20% down to purchase a home! 📣

MANY potential buyers put off purchasing a home of their own because of the idea that they need to have enough saved for a 20% down payment. In today's market, that is not the case. 💰

I'm here to tell you that there are MANY options for first-time home buyers that require little to no money down. 🙌

Mortgage rates are still historically low and thanks to the many loan options available, homeownership may be closer than you think. Don't let the idea that you need to put 20% down stop you from taking advantage of this market. 🏡

Let's discuss your options. Call or message me to talk more! 📲
