Here's how to increase the value of your home (without a construction permit!)

Homeowners spent an average of $10,341 on home improvements in 2021, a 25 percent increase over the previous year.

In fact, homeowners ranked increasing the home’s value as the second-most important goal for home improvement, behind fixing safety or structural issues.

Here are six easy ways you can increase the value of your home before you sell it.

-Freshen up your curb appeal -- a fresh coat of paint on your front door can work wonders!
-Update your finishes...and put your money into the kitchen and bathrooms.
-Finish any unfinished spaces, like the basement or closets.
-Clean and declutter. It seems obvious, but it will make your home look and feel larger.
-Invest in efficiency -- a smart thermostat and energy efficient appliances can be a strong selling point.
-Hire a professional stager. According to the Real Estate Staging Association, 73% percent of staged homes sold for over list price — an average of $40,000 higher — and nine days faster than the average.

Questions about your home's value? Reach out anytime and I'd be glad to run a market analysis for you to see what your home is worth.

Selling your home is not as easy as Google makes it out to be!

According to a survey by the National Association of Realtors, homes sold by a realtor sell for up to 26% more than homes sold by owner.

Even if you've read up on the market and feel confident that your home will sell quickly, there's still a lot of work that goes into the process.

Today I'm sharing a snapshot of what I do to help you get my clients' homes SOLD:

📈 Read up on the local trends, patterns and market activity to determine the best price for your home.
💬 Talk to other agents to understand what buyers are looking for so we can create maximum demand.
🏡 Tour your house with you and recommend exactly what you need to do to get top dollar for your home: clean, declutter, prep and stage.
📲 Employ my out-of-the-box marketing strategies to help attract more buyers to your home. More demand = more competition = a higher offer!
🤝 Negotiate on your behalf through the transaction. Even if you're selling your home to the neighbors, you'll want to have someone who can b your advocate and look out for your best interests.

The bottom line? Hiring a real estate agent to sell your home will save you time *and* money. Drop me a note if you're interested in an initial, no-strings-attached conversation!

How to future-proof your life: invest in real estate 🏡

There’s a lot of talk (and concern) about the possibility of a recession.

And it's a valid concern.

One of the clearest indicators of a recession is high inflation, and there's no question that we're currently experiencing a high inflationary period, likely to continue into the fall.

But there is good news for homeowners: just by living in your home and keeping up with its maintenance, you're building equity and wealth for your future.

Hypothetically, a big recession might cause your home to temporarily decrease in value, but it won't last forever.

In today’s context, a housing market slowdown is likely to look a lot more like a “correction,” where price growth levels off or declines— after more than two years of pandemic-fueled buyer demand.

So, if you're considering buying a new home? Don't wait! Drop me a message if you have questions about the process and I am happy to help!
