Are you feeling frustrated by the lack of options in your price range? Here’s some advice. Check out townhomes.
Because they’re usually smaller, they can be more affordable, too. And there are more hitting the market than we’ve seen in years. That gives you more options, potentially in your price point.
So, let’s chat if you want to see if this type of home would make sense for you and your lifestyle.
In the meantime, let me know: what matters most to you? Space, location, or price? Drop your answer in the comments below.

Overpricing your house could cost you more than you think.
Data shows the longer a house sits, the less it sells for. And here’s why. If a house is priced at or just below market value, it typically sells quickly. But if a house is priced too high, it lingers.
As time wears on, it's more likely you’ll have to accept a lower offer, or you’ll need to make a price cut to draw buyers back in. And that’s not the experience you want.
Want to make sure your home sells quickly and for the best price? Let’s talk. With an agent’s expertise on your side, it’s easy to price it right.

Buying your first home in today’s market can feel tough. Between high home prices and mortgage rates, affordability is still a big challenge.

With more homes for sale, some sellers are coming around to the idea of concessions.
From adjusting the price to helping with closing costs, throwing in a home warranty or appliances, even giving you credit so you can make repairs, sellers may be more willing to compromise.
But making sure you know how to ask and what to ask for is key. That's why it’s important to have the right agent by your side.
Which concession would make the biggest difference for you? Let me know, and we’ll factor that into your home search.

While we’re still below pre-pandemic inventory levels, the number of homes with a for-sale sign in the yard is going up by the day. And breathe a little sigh of relief, because they’re taking a few days longer to sell, too.
Not only does that give you more choices when you move, it means you have more time to make thoughtful decisions while you’re at it. And oh, by the way – there will be demand for your house when you move because buyers are heating up right now. Win. Win.
So, if you pressed pause on your search last year because you couldn’t find the right fit, this could be your moment to start looking again.
What will it take to reignite your home search? Let me know, and we’ll make it a priority.
