How do you write a winning offer in this market?

A high offer price gets attention—but it doesn’t guarantee you’ll get the home. Sellers consider many factors when choosing a buyer, including:

👉 Financing
👉 Deposit size
👉 Conditions
👉 Closing terms
👉 And even the reputation of the buyer’s real estate agent

It’s important that you account for all of these details when submitting an offer.

Read this month’s blog post, “5 Ways to Write a Winning Offer in Today’s Real Estate Market,” and learn more about making a competitive offer ➡️ https://www.traciepeay.com/5-ways-to-write-a-winning-offer-in-todays-real-estate-market

5 Tips to Save for a Down Payment

📍Save this one so you can come back to it when you’re ready to start saving!

1️⃣ Automate your savings. Set a specific amount of money to go into your savings every time a paycheck is deposited, for example. You won’t need to remember to do it yourself—and can still make progress on your savings.

2️⃣ Start selling items you no longer want or need. Instead of waiting until a few weeks before you move, sell those items now. The profit can go right into your savings account.

3️⃣ Cut the cable cord. Choose one or two streaming platforms to pay for instead and put the extra money toward your down payment savings.

4️⃣ Get a side gig. There are many ways to make extra money, like driving for a rideshare company or getting freelance work—remember to put your earnings right into your savings account.

5️⃣ Adjust your car insurance. If you’re now driving fewer miles because you’re working from home or you’ve improved your credit, you may be able to reduce your monthly insurance payments. All you have to do is call and ask.

Saving is important, but remember: it’s never too early to speak with a real estate agent too. Get in touch if you’re thinking of buying a house so we can help you prepare!

How will you celebrate Earth Day tomorrow?

One way is to make some changes to your home energy use.

The following shifts can have a significant impact on the planet (and your bank account!):

🌱 Write “turn off lights” on post-it notes and place them next to your light switches if you have a habit of forgetting to turn off the lights.

🌱 Install energy-saving light bulbs, which use up to 90% less energy than standard bulbs.

🌱 Change your HVAC filters every 90 days, which can increase your system’s efficiency and cut down on heating and cooling costs.

Should you get a reverse mortgage?

While it can be a great way to supplement your retirement income, there are some things to watch out for:

⚠️ High fees
To get and finalize your reverse mortgage, you’ll be paying a range of fees that can add up quickly.

⚠️ Variable or high interest rate
The interest rate is often higher than that for a standard mortgage. It may also be variable, rather than fixed, which means it can increase in the future.

⚠️ Less money for your heirs
The remaining amount of your estate will need to be repaid when you’re no longer here, usually in a specific period of time, which can be costly and stressful for your family.

This is why, in some cases, downsizing can be a better option. If you’re deciding between the two, contact us to discuss your options and make the best choice for your needs.

Yes, we’re still in a seller’s market.

No, that doesn’t mean your house will automatically ignite a bidding war.

But you can maximize the sale price, and make your home more attractive to potential buyers, by prepping your home before it hits the market.

👉🏼 This is why it’s important to contact your agent as soon as you start thinking about selling.

Instead of waiting until right before you want to list—and scrambling to get everything done—we can help you decide what needs to get done ahead of time to boost your home’s value.

Get started by checking out our brand new blog post, Seller’s Checklist: A Timeline to Prep Your Home for Sale ➡️ https://www.traciepeay.com/sellers-checklist-a-timeline-to-prep-your-home-for-sale

A home warranty can be helpful to homeowners.

However, it’s not necessary or right for everyone. Here are some key factors to take into consideration if you’re not sure whether you should get a home warranty:

✔️ A home warranty covers many of the systems and appliances in your home that aren’t covered by homeowners insurance, like HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and some appliances that fail due to age or typical wear and tear.

✔️ This coverage is separate from homeowners insurance. If interested, you’ll need to seek out a policy through a dedicated provider.

✔️ You are still responsible for paying a service fee or deductible every time you use your home warranty and are limited to using service providers who are contracted through your home warranty company.

While a home warranty is not required by mortgage companies, it can provide an added peace of mind to have in addition to your homeowners insurance.

If you’re not sure whether you need home warranty insurance, contact us so we can help guide you.
