If you're thinking about selling your home, you've probably heard the term "months of supply" thrown around. But what does it actually mean?

Months of supply measures how long it would take to sell all available homes at the current sales pace. It's one of the clearest indicators of whether we're in a buyer's or seller's market.

Here's the breakdown:
- Less than 5 months = Seller's market (low inventory, more competition among buyers)
- 5-6 months = Balanced market
- More than 6 months = Buyer's market (more inventory, buyers have negotiating power)

Right now, inventory levels are rising in many markets across the country. According to recent NAR data, we're seeing a shift from the extreme seller's market of the past few years. This means pricing strategy, home preparation, and timing matter more than ever.

If you've been waiting for the "perfect time" to list, understanding these metrics can help you make a more informed decision about your specific situation and local market conditions.

Not every pre-listing fix needs to be big or expensive. But there are a few small repairs sellers shouldn’t ignore because buyers notice them immediately.

Here are some of the most common ones:

1. Leaky faucets or running toilets
Small issues like these can make buyers wonder what else hasn’t been maintained.

2. Loose handles, hinges, or cabinet hardware
They’re inexpensive to fix, but they affect how cared-for a home feels.

3. Scuffed paint and wall damage
Patches, touch-ups, and fresh paint in key areas can make the whole home feel cleaner and more current.

4. Burned-out light bulbs or outdated fixtures
Lighting has a huge impact on first impressions, especially in photos and showings.

5. Doors that stick, squeak, or don’t close properly
These are small annoyances that can make a home feel older or neglected.

None of these repairs will transform a home on their own. But together, they can reduce buyer hesitation and help your home feel better maintained from the start.

If you’re getting ready to sell, the best pre-listing strategy usually starts with the simple things first.

From all of us at the Kim Johnson Group of RE/MAX Four Corners, we extend our deepest appreciation to our fallen heroes and the families who continue to carry their legacy forward.

Wishing everyone a safe, meaningful, and reflective Memorial Day.

Buyers have moved on. Here's what's working against sellers right now:

❌ All-gray and stark white interiors
❌ Shiplap for the sake of shiplap
❌ Matching every fixture and cabinet pull to one metal finish
❌ Open shelving as a kitchen default
❌ The undifferentiated open floor plan
❌ Single-use bonus rooms — man caves, dedicated wine rooms, home theaters that can't flex

None of these will tank a sale on their own. But they can create hesitation — and hesitation shows up in longer days on market and more negotiated offers.

The good news? Most of these are fixable without a contractor. Drop a comment or send me a message and let's talk through what's actually worth addressing before you list.

One of the quieter shifts in how buyers evaluate homes is the move toward wellness design — the idea that a home's layout and materials should actively support how you feel in it, not just how it looks.

Mentions of "wellness" in listings are up 33% year over year, and "spa-inspired bathrooms" climbed 22%. But the concept goes far beyond the primary bath. Biophilic design — bringing in natural light, organic materials, living plants, and visual connections to the outdoors — has become a core consideration. So has circadian lighting that shifts with the time of day, and dedicated quiet spaces designed for rest and focus.

These aren't luxury add-ons anymore. They're showing up in mainstream listings because people are prioritizing how their home makes them feel on a Tuesday afternoon, not just how it presents at a party.

Open floor plans aren't going away — but they're growing up. 🏠

Buyers no longer want an undifferentiated box. The shift is toward semi-closed layouts: spaces that feel connected but serve a clear purpose. Subtle architectural separation between the kitchen, dining room, and living areas that maintains flow while creating intimacy.

Why the change? Remote work. When your home is also your office, privacy has real value. Dedicated home offices are one of the most requested features this year, and mentions of "reading nooks" are up 48% in listings.

If you're selling and you have a defined dining room, a separate office, or distinct living zones, don't apologize for them. Stage and describe each space as intentional. Buyers are looking for purpose, not just square footage.

Is the all-white kitchen dead? According to design professionals, yes — and what's replacing it isn't one single look, but the absence of a default.

Buyers want personalization. A kitchen that feels considered, not one that played it safe. Warm neutrals, earth tones, and wood-grain cabinetry are taking over from painted finishes. The transitional style has become the most popular direction, while the farmhouse aesthetic continues to lose ground.

What makes a kitchen stand out now? A work-in pantry, an unexpected cabinet color, a stone backsplash that runs floor to ceiling. These are the details that signal intention — and that's exactly what buyers are responding to in 2026.

I definitely got it from my Moma. 🔥💃🏼Diane Hamilton White

The grit.
The fire.
The fierce attitude.
The “we’ll figure it out and make it happen anyway” energy. 😂

This woman is equal parts wild, strong, passionate, hilarious, loving, and completely unforgettable. She taught me how to stand tall, love hard, laugh loud, survive the hard seasons, and never walk into a room like I need permission to be there.

If you know her, you know… there’s only one. 🤍

Happy Mother’s Day to the woman who made life an adventure and raised me with strength, sass, and a whole lot of heart. Love you, Moma. 🌸
