Last year, the Federal Reserve took action to try to bring down inflation. In response to those efforts, mortgage rates jumped up rapidly from the record lows we saw in 2021, peaking at just over 7% last October. Hopeful buyers experienced a hit to their purchasing power as a result, and some decide...

Truth: This holiday season, all bets are off when it comes to selling and the holidays.
Here's why.
According to Realtor.com, active listings are still 44% lower than the pre-pandemic 2017-2019 average. That means the market is playing catch up to buyer demand, holidays or not. If you're still not convinced, here are a few other pros and cons:

Pros of selling during the holidays:
Serious buyers
Less competition
Holiday staging

Cons of selling during the holidays:
Fewer buyers
Hard to stay “show-ready”
Slower closing timeline

If you’ve thought about selling but wonder if you should wait, don't! Send me a DM, and I’ll pull what's happening in your neighborhood so you can know for sure.

What would happen if you never bought that dream home?

My guess is that you’d probably forever dream of getting into a home that meets all of your needs and fits your unique style.

To me, that doesn’t seem like a great outcome.

So don’t let your dream home stay a dream. Let’s make your dream home a reality.

With the help of a great agent (hi!) and that dream of yours, we can get you into the perfect home for your life.

Want to get started making that dream home come true? Just send me a DM!

If you read these in a property listing, be afraid! 💀 🎃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A lot of agents will try to pretty up a house with big problems by calling it nice things.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Those listings can be really disappointing for buyers when they think they’ve found the perfect home, but then see a much different property at the showing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a buyer and as a seller, you want to avoid that, so check out the 4 terms you need to watch out for.

Think of home equity like a savings fund: your equity builds with each house payment you make (building up the value of your asset), just like building the value of your savings account by making deposits into your bank account.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Equity is one of the biggest benefits of being a homeowner. As your home appreciates over time, you gain property value. Equity is the difference between what you owe on your mortgage and how much your home is currently worth. For example, if you owe $300,000 on your home and it’s now worth $475,000. this means your home equity is $175,000
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you make your home payments on time and in full, you’ll slowly build equity. But if you’re hoping to build home equity faster, here are a few ways to do so.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Make a big down payment
2. Get a 15-year mortgage
3. Refinance to a 15-year mortgage
4. Make some home improvements
5. Put extra money towards your mortgage
6. Play the long game

Every seller wants a listing that gets viewed thousands of times and finds tons of interested buyers. But sometimes actually achieving that can be a little tricky.

That’s why I’m sharing these 3 real estate tricks to make buyers go CRAZY over your house!

1. Stage it to sell. Showing buyers what the home can look like makes it easy for them to envision themselves in the space.

2. Price it right. Your real estate agent will help you find the perfect price, but for a viral listing, you want to be really careful not to overprice.

3. Show off the lifestyle. Is your home perfect for a family of 4 and a dog? Or is it more geared towards an active couple? Add some touches to speak to those buyers and show off the kind of lifestyle your home can help them live.

These tricks are such a good way to drum up bunches of buyer interest. Iif you want even more ideas to get your home to sell fast and for top dollar, make sure you talk with a real estate agent!

I’m currently accepting new seller clients and my DMs are always open if you want to chat about how I can make your home go viral in the best of ways.

Fall is a great time to spruce up your home’s curb appeal! Here are some of my favorite things for fall

✔️ Decorate your porch with the seasons! Add some pumpkins and seasonal colors to transition from the summer.

✔️ Bring in some fall plants and flowers to liven the space up.

✔️ Add some extra exterior lighting since the days will be shorter.

✔️ Deep clean the exterior and your gutters so you’re ready for the fall weather!

Make sure to save this post for your fall cleanup!

Is your agent working in 2022? Or do their tactics feel more like something out of the 1950s?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Right now, agents have access to some amazing real estate tools thanks to the internet and how easy it is to network now. Your agent should be using all of the resources we have now to get you to your real estate goals.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If they’re not… Well, that’s a major red flag.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So if your agent doesn't
-understand social media and digital marketing when it comes to getting the word out about their properties
-ensure that their listings have beautiful, professional photos
-communicate well via modern methods (aka texts, emails, videos)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then it might be time to reconsider your agent and go with a modern agent instead!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether you’re buying or selling, you need an agent who uses modern methods to get you to your real estate goals.
