After so long with so little on the market, there is now a 22% increase in listings for sale. Interest rates are heading down somewhat, in large part reacting to rising inflation, and generally chaotic economic actions this year are making challenging times for consumer confidence. All of this to say that realistic and informed HOME PRICING is the key to selling your home in a reasonable amount of time. And a dose of PATIENCE doesn't hurt a thing either!

Waiting for the perfect buyer to fall in love with your house? In today’s market, that’s usually not what’s holding things up. And here’s why.

Right now, the housing market looks really different depending on where you live.

In the Northeast and Midwest, there are more buyers than sellers. That means in many markets in those regions, homes are in short supply and sellers have the upper hand.

But in the South and West, the opposite is true. There are more sellers than buyers. That gives buyers more options and more negotiating power. But even within a region, your local market may be different than the larger regional trend.

It’s a tale of two markets – and this story comes down to location.

If you’re not sure what’s happening in our area, let’s talk. I can help you figure out what kind of market you’re in and what that means for your next move.

Recent headlines may not tell the whole story, but the data does. Foreclosure activity remains low by historical standards and is not a sign of another crash.

If you’re simply watching the market and want to understand what’s really going on, or how this impacts the value of your home, let’s connect. I’ll help you separate fact from fear by showing you what the data really says.

Foreclosure headlines are making noise again – and they’re designed to stir up fear to get you to read them.
