Pricing your home correctly is the single most important factor to consider when you’re selling your home. When you want top dollar, it is best to have the right price the day your house goes on the market. The first few weeks of any property sale are key, so you must price your home correctly from the start if you want to maximize interest. There’s nothing wrong with listing your home on the high side of fair value, however, overpricing your home so that there is "room to negotiate" can backfire. Why?

▪️ The more you overprice, the fewer buyers will come to see it. Today's buyers are educated and have all the data in their hands with the internet and home valuation sites. They know if a home is overpriced, and will wait for price decreases.

▪️ Very few buyers will even make an offer on an overpriced home — they will wait for the price to drop.

▪️ Your property attracts the most interest when it is first listed, and the majority of showings on a home occur in the first 30 days of the listing hitting the market. The longer you wait to adjust the price, the smaller your pool of potential buyers becomes.

▪️ After your house has been on the market for several weeks or months, buyers will notice the number of days on market and may assume there is something wrong with your home.

In the end, you may end up making less money by overpricing, than you would have if you’d priced your house correctly when it was first listed.

If one of your resolutions for 2023 is to buy a home, it may be more attainable than you think. When preparing to buy a house in our current market, the earlier you can get started, the better.

Here are a few action items to help you get closer to homeownership this year:

✔️ Step 1: Finances & Pre-Approval
Save for a downpayment, and get your finances (and credit score) in order. The first step of the homebuying process is always to review your finances and obtain a financial pre-approval. It's important to review your budget and think about new expenses such as utilities, maintenance costs, and HOA or Condo fees.

✔️ Step 2: Find an agent you trust
Interview agents to find one who understands the ever-changing market, is available to work with your schedule, is responsive, and is someone whom you feel can guide you through the biggest investment you'll ever make!

Send me a message or give me a call—I’d love to help you prepare, find, and buy a new home in 2023! It's never too early to start discussing the next steps!

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY ✨

Children run around being so fascinated by the world around them, and they’re rarely as unhappy as grownups. Somehow, people tend to forget their childhood selves, and forget to ask why and how things are the way they are. When we slow down and look closely, life contains so many interesting things.

Life is like one of those optical illusions. You can look at it every day for years and see one thing, then, one day, just suddenly see something completely different.

• Learn mindfulness
• Practice being present
• Live in the moment
• Don’t worry about what might come about
• Just be here, experiencing the now!

White has recently become one of the most popular color choices for homeowners, and for good reason. From the warm creamy undertones to the bold cooler shades, white literally goes with everything. Not to mention, white has an amazing way of making any space feel clean and new again.

However, choosing the right hue for your and your space’s needs can be shockingly difficult. With so many nuances and undertones available, white isn’t just white anymore. While every space is different, I've put together a few of my favorite white paint colors to try out yourself.

Thinking of selling this spring? Believe it or not, NOW is the time to prepare your home for the market. A few home improvements can go a long way toward making a favorable impression on potential buyers when you decide to list.

Getting your home looking its best doesn’t have to be costly or complicated either — here is a list of suggestions I typically give my sellers on how to prep their home to sell quickly and get top dollar.

① Clean & Declutter
You want buyers to focus on how great your space is, not how messy or dirty it looks. You want buyers to envision themselves in your space, so keeping up a tidy house is crucial. Start by depersonalizing and organizing, and getting rid of anything that you no longer want or need.

② Neutral Colors
As much as you might love your bright red kitchen or plum purple living room, buyers may not. Repaint any bold-colored rooms with neutral tones such as light grays and whites that allow buyers to focus on the spaces themselves, not the color of the walls.

③ Complete a Mini Renovation
Small updates can make a big difference in the overall feel of a room. Kitchen a little outdated? Replace the k***s, light fixtures, kitchen faucet, and even consider painting the cabinets. This same concept works in bathrooms as well!

Getting a mortgage can be stressful … bank statements, credit scores, interest rates, loan estimates, and closing disclosures can really put a dent in the excitement of buying a home. That’s why I've put together a list of dos and don'ts of the mortgage process, to help you cut through the noise and get back to the fun part!

Make sure that you do NOT:

• Buy a car
• Get married or divorced
• Change professions or start your own business
• Change bank accounts
• Make any large purchases (appliances, furniture, etc.)
• Throw away documents
• Incur any late payments
• Open or apply for any new credit cards
• Overwhelm yourself by trying to understand everything on your own. Ask questions and lean on your agent and lender!

Make sure that you DO:

• Keep all accounts current, including mortgage, car loans, credit cards, etc.
• Contact your lender anytime a question may arise
• Make all payments on or before due dates on all accounts, even if the account is being paid off with your new loan
• Return phone calls and emails promptly from your agent, loan officer, Settlement Company, or anyone else involved in your transaction ASAP!

If you're thinking about starting the pre-approval process, I'd be happy to recommend a few of my trusted lenders — just shoot me a message!

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY ✨

If you’ve found yourself terrified to move on from a difficult situation, you’re not alone! Whether it’s a relationship, a change in life circumstances, or simply something that is no longer serving you well, letting go can often be a challenge and can hinder your future growth.
Mastering the art of letting go of past hurts and grievances is one of the keys to happiness. Sometimes it takes practice, sometimes time, but always a dedication to allow yourself to fully live in the present, and not allowing people or situations that you’ve outgrown to stand in your way.

“Aging is a staircase – the upward ascension of the human spirit, bringing us into wisdom, wholeness and authenticity. As you may know, the entire world operates on a universal law: entropy, the second law of thermodynamics. Entropy means that everything in the world, everything, is in a state of decline and decay. There’s only one exception to this universal law, and that is the human spirit, which can continue to evolve upwards.” Jane Fonda

Renters: Are you thinking 2023 might be the year to fire your landlord?

If you're considering whether it's time to stop renting and purchase a home, I want you to keep in mind that the interest rate on renting is 100%.
