Renting a home is great for independent, single individuals, or couples looking to experience sharing space, and of course newlyweds.
When you choose to rent a home you are empowered with the freedom to move around quickly from place to place, depending on your lease agreement. Home renters are not burned by the time and costs associated with maintenance, rather they inform their landlord and ensure that the repairs and requests are completed.
Renting, however, may not be cheaper than owning a home if you consider tax benefits, building equity, and no monthly payments over time.

Would you rather rent or buy?

Question: Does replacing bold colors with neutral paint colors really matter when selling in this market?
Answer: Bold isn’t always bad. In fact, if you go too hardcore on the neutrals in your home, you risk creating a monotone effect that will hide interesting features and architectural highlights that would otherwise make your home stand out to potential buyers.
The rule of thumb is to use bold colors in moderation, such as having a single feature wall in bold colors surrounded by complementary neutral walls.

Don’t get too lost in daydreams about your living room decor and your first Instagram post in your new home.

Why? Because you still have to do the final walkthrough.

The final walkthrough is an opportunity for you and your realtor( Me 😉 ) to spend a few hours looking over the place—room by room, inside and out—to check that everything works as it should before you sign the paperwork on closing day.

Be sure to:

✔️ Confirm that the seller made agreed-upon repairs. Also check that no new issues have cropped up since the home inspection
✔️ Check that the utilities (water, electricity, and gas) are all on.
✔️ Run major appliances like the washing machine and dishwasher to ensure that they work and don’t cause any leaks.
Bonus: You should also do a brief test of the dryer.

Are you contemplating selling your home, but not sure if now is a good time?

Here are three reasons why IT IS A Good Time to Sell Your Home Right Now:

🔸 The demand is high:
As a result of the pandemic, a lot of renters have realized that they want a bigger and more comfortable space if they’re going to be spending more time at home. They also realized that they no longer want to throw their money down the drain and want to put what they’re spending towards a mortgage instead.
🔸 More buyers = more potential offers:
This creates more competition and potential bidding wars that can drive up the sale price of your home.
🔸 It’s a seller’s market:
High demand and low inventory make this a very strong market for sellers, so if you can, you should take advantage of it.

But if you’re looking to buy a new home after selling your current home, the low inventory means it might also be harder for you to find a home. If you’re worried about finding yourself in this situation, let’s chat! I might be able to find you a home that’s off-market and not actively listed yet.

It’s not always easy to sell the home in which you have spent many years, or raised your children in. As a mother and wife, I get it. 👨‍👩‍👦
But it’s important to put the emotions on a back-burner when putting your house on the market. That’s why having an honest, reliable Realtor (Me!) on your side is paramount. 👋

Below are my recommendations during the sale process:

🔸Do not allow your emotions to take center stage. Selling your home can be time-consuming and an emotional rollercoaster
🔸You have made memories in your home, you feel a sense of belonging and you get defensive when potential buyers critique your home
🔸Being emotional once your property is already listed on the market and potential buyers are stopping in for showings and open houses, can be devastating to the selling process
🔸Try to schedule showings and open houses while you are away…it will help ease the emotional responses and stressors

The market is still hot and is in favor of sellers, so if you’re considering selling your home — Do it!
Low inventory gives you multiple advantages, including making it easier for you to sell due to the high demand, you’re more likely to be able to sell at a higher sale price, and the possibility to negotiate better contract terms. But if you’re looking to buy a new home after selling your current home, the low inventory means it might also be harder for you to find a home.

It’s okay, I don’t expect you to be excited about taxes 😅

✔️ Moving to a new area
✔️ Adding on to your home
✔️ An increase of home sales in your area
✔️ State/Local budget
✔️ Supplemental Tax
That’s why it’s important to have a good Realtor on your side. We’re pros at making sure you don’t have to pay any more than you have to. 👌👌

Don’t make the assumption that the down payment is the only upfront cost in buying a home. Be sure to account for closing costs that typically run 2-5% of your total loan amount.

Closing Costs….“What are they?” “How much do I have to pay?” 🤷

🔸Closing costs are processing fees you pay to your lender. Closing costs cover things like your home appraisal and searches on your home’s title.
🔸Closing costs can make up about 3% – 6% of the price of the home. This doesn’t include your down payment. 💰💰
As you start saving up for a down payment, set aside enough money for closing costs as well.
