Do you know your homebuyer stats? 🤔

Here are some interesting ones to add to your repertoire:

💡 Gen X (those born between 1965-1979) is the generation with the greatest number of homebuyers — 24%
💡 Older millennials (1980-1989) are in second place, making up 23% of homebuyers.

It will be interesting to see where Gen Z stacks up! Are you a part of either of the above generations and a homeowner? ⬇️

Ok, no one *loves* cleaning (if you do, please leave your contact information below 🤪) but if you could pick one room you didn’t have to clean for the rest of your life, would it be the bathroom or the kitchen? ⬇️

It’s completely normal to feel simultaneously excited and nervous about submitting your offer on a house. It’s a significant decision, but there are a few methods you can use to make your offer strong and stand out from the crowd.

Here’s how:

✅ Be alert of listings so you are one of the first people to view a home and to put an offer on it.

✅ Offer above the asking price if you and your real estate agent deem that a worthwhile strategy or if it’s a competitive season. Alternatively, offer to add an escalation clause.

✅ Be open to an appraisal gap.

✅ Get pre-approved by a local lender. This step is nearly non-negotiable!

✅ Defer adding closing terms and a timeline for sellers, especially when it’s a seller’s market.
