The National Association of Realtors recently released a stat that 41% of buyers started their home buying journey by looking at homes online.

I'm honestly surprised this number wasn't higher, given how easy it is to scroll the latest listings.

And of course there's no real harm in browsing, but if you actually want to take the step of buying a house this year, I hope that contacting your agent is a close second step, because browsing homes for too long can lead to confusion and information overwhelm!

If you hope to buy your next (or first) house in the next 12 months, scroll away! But promise you'll reach out to your agent (if you're reading this, there's a good chance I'm the one for you!).

Reaching out doesn't mean you have to start the process of meeting with a lender or scheduling showings right away. It just means you have a professional on your side from day one, so you have a safe place for questions and a guide looking out for you!

BTW, a lot of my clients first reach out right here on IG, so you can DM me anytime!

Taking the "yikes!" out of navigating the market with this post (you'll wanna save this!)

But first, the caption...

Buyers and sellers are much more educated with what's happening in the market. They are researching information online long before they ever reach out to an agent.

(This is why I take the time to share so much on here with you, because I want to make sure you're getting accurate info!!)

With all the information out there, it can be easy to find yourself feeling analysis paralysis. In other words, you have SO MUCH INFO that you're just paralyzed and not sure what to do next.

So consider this post the skinny. It's what you *really* need to know about the market right now, especially if you're considering buying or selling in 2024.

Swipe the carousel to get the skinny!

I've got some news for you...this year's seller's market is coming early. As in...it's here.

According to Realtor.com’s latest market update, there was a 7.9% increase in active listings!

For some of you, that makes you feel like 🤯 and for others maybe you're more like 😩. My goal? It's to take you from 😩🤯 to 😌.

If selling feels like there's so much work to do and it feels a little vulnerable because what if no one wants to buy it and also what if something goes wrong...

With me as your listing agent, the vibe is less frantic and more five star resort (think chill and approachable but with every detail taken care of so you can relax and enjoy your stay) 😚

Here are some ways I help you stay relaxed throughout the process and even help you have fun while selling your home...

IF YOUR STANLEY COULD TALK it would say two things ✌️

1 - You totally need me in another color! And...

2 - You can’t afford to miss the mark when marketing your home.

And your Stanley would know.

The 40oz Stanley tumbler has been first hit the market in 2016, but due to lack of demand, went off the market. That is, until some wise women (of course!) discovered the tumbler and reimagined it as a product marketed to women.

SALES SKYROCKETED 🚀

Marketing and messaging is everything and if you or your agent disregards it, you're leaving money on the table.

It's crazy to think that words typed on a keyboard onto a listing description can actually mean the difference of thousands of dollars. That photos and video footage of your home could create more demand (have you SEEN women fighting over Stanley's at Target?) and increase the perceived value of your home.

When you ignore marketing trends, your home can either wind up overpriced or underpriced (both are bad) and your listing will become stale.

Why am I telling you this? For one I don't want you to leave money on the table. And two, this happens to be my specialty.

When I market my listings, I tell the story of the home and invite others to be a part of it, making your home the most sought after and shareable listing out there.

In other words, your listing is a 2024 Stanley, not the 2016 Stanley.

But now to the important stuff: are you a Stanley girlie too?

Wake up, it's time to say, "I do," to homeownership!

Your car is full of boxes and you're ready to publicly declare your love and commitment for your home.

It's officially closing time! 💍 Only this time, there's no need to wear a long white dress! Comfy shoes and a hoodie will do, because everyone knows as soon as you're done signing 500 million papers, you're off to unload moving trucks!

Then it's *finally* party tIme! Your reception will consist of you popping the champagne on the porch 🍾 and turning on your favorite playlist in the kitchen as you unbox dishes and set up your new bedroom!

I always refer to the first year in your house as the honeymoon phase. Everything is fun and the little quirks in the house are considered charming. My hope is that your love for your home lasts several years, but unlike a marital commitment, most relationships with homes aren't destined to be together forever.

When life happens and your home needs change, I'll be right here ready to help you find someone new to love your home and search for a new place for you to make memories in!

Because that's what Home Matchmakers, like myself, do! I'm committed to finding the perfect fit for you, as many times as you need!

I want you to ask yourself 3 clarifying questions Swipe to see, then come back to the caption!

As we look at each possible match and you ask yourself these questions, it will eventually become clear which home is the one for you! That's when it's time to propose!

Making an offer can be a scary step, but it's a lot easier when you know it's the one for you (and when you have a pro on your side walking you through each step!)

Tomorrow we'll dive into what happens next, but for now, I'm dying to know, what are some of your next home must haves and deal breakers?

All the single ladies! (and every other lady!) ⬇️

If we haven't met, I’m your Northwest Houston Realtor & home matchmaker. I call myself a matchmaker because my whole business is rooted in relationships.

Relationships with my clients, clients relationships with their homes, etc. I take the time to get to know my clients, hear what matters most to them, figure out what home features would best compliment their lifestyle, and then I set you up!

With me as your home matchmaker, you're never alone. I'm with you every step of the way! This week I'm breaking down each step of the process from first date to the altar!

To kick this off, drop an emoji (or two) that describe how you feel about Valentine's Day!

Preparing for the big day (CLOSING!) can be stressful, but when you have a professional on your side, you're much more likely to say, "I do" without cold feet or overwhelm!

The next step towards popping the champagne on your new front porch is to get prepared!

I compare this to your bridal shower. You need to start gathering everything you need for your new home!

Even if you already live on your own, each house has its own needs. For example, maybe your current house has glass shower doors but your new one requires shower curtains! Or maybe you're in an apartment but your new home has a yard to care for.

Here's my hot tip: just like you register for your bridal shower, consider registering for your new home!

This can help keep you organized (and only buying what's necessary).

Next is the ultimate kickoff to the celebrations: the bachelorette party (new homeowner edition).
