When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, many potential buyers decided to put their home search on hold. But it looks like buyers are getting back to searching for homes online.

According to recent analysis from LendingTree, which analyzed Google search data, search interest value for the term “homes for sale,” which measures the popularity of a search term on a scale of 1 to 100, jumped from a low of 56 when the pandemic hit to 86 by the end of April—an increase of 54 percent!

Much of the country is practicing social distancing—and doing their part to stop the spread of COVID-19 by staying at home.

Social distancing at home can be a challenge and limit what you can do with your time. But if you’ve been thinking about putting your property on the market, this offers the perfect opportunity to get your home ready to sell.

A recent article from Redfin outlined different ways sellers can productively use this time at extended home to get their properties ready to sell, including:

Clear the clutter. Have you been meaning to organize your garage, get rid of old furniture, or finally clean out your closets? Now is a great time to tackle any clutter-clearing projects—and get your home neat, orderly, and clutter-free for buyers.

Do a deep clean. When you show your home to prospective buyers, you want it to be sparkling clean. Take this opportunity to deep clean your home from top to bottom, including washing windows, cleaning grout in the bathrooms, and washing all your drapes, curtains, and blinds.

Up your curb appeal. It’s important to get outside and get some fresh air every day—so why not use that time to up your home’s curb appeal? Outdoor projects like raking and removing dead leaves and debris or adding potted plants to your front walkway are a great way to pass the time—and to make your home more appealing to buyers.

If you were planning on selling your home before the coronavirus pandemic started, now may be a great time to get your house ready to sell. Here are 6 things...

The coronavirus is completely changing the real estate industry, and stay-at-home orders have presented unique challenges for buyers. Not only are they unable to tour properties in person, but, in some areas, they also can’t walk around the neighborhood and get a feel for whether it’s the kind of neighborhood they want to call home.

But just because you can’t explore an area in person right now doesn’t mean you can’t get a feel for a potential neighborhood—and whether it’s the right fit for you, your family, and your new home.

A recent article from realtor.com outlined strategies buyers can use to “test drive” a new neighborhood while they’re sheltering in place, including:

Check out local publications and social media. Many neighborhoods have their own newspapers, magazines, or other publications, which can give you insights into the neighborhood vibe. You can also search Facebook groups or use neighborhood-specific social media apps like NextDoor to get a feel for the area.
Take a (virtual) walk. You may not be able to visit a neighborhood in person right now, but thanks to Google Street View, you can take a virtual walk and explore the area.
Call a real estate agent. A real estate agent that specializes in the area can give you key insights and details about the neighborhood, and help you determine whether an area is the right fit for what you’re looking for.

Even though you won't be able to pop in to a coffee shop or stroll down Main Street, exploring a neighborhood in the time of coronavirus is possible.

There’s been more demand than supply in the housing market for quite some time, which has made it challenging for many would-be buyers to successfully find and purchase homes.

But it looks like the industry took steps to rectify that supply and demand imbalance in 2019—and a wave of new homes should be hitting the market soon.

According to data from the National Association of Home Builders, total housing starts in the US hit 1.29 million in 2019—up 3.2 percent from 2018. And things picked up even more at the end of the year, with total housing starts increasing 16.9 percent in December to a seasonally adjusted rate of 1.61 million units—the highest rate in 13 years.

Total housing starts increased 16.9% in December to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.61 million units, according to a report from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development and Commerce Departmen…

Clearly, you want your home to sell for the highest price possible. As it turns out, when you sell your home plays one of the biggest roles into how much it sells for—and the best time to sell? Summer.

According to recent data from ATTOM Data Solutions, the summer months offer the highest seller premiums of any other time of year—with June leading the charge (at a 9.2% premium), followed closely by May (7.4%) and July (7.3%). And if you want to get the most bang for your buck? Make a move on June 28, when the average seller premium at resale is a whopping 10.8%.

Moving can be a stressful experience—and that’s especially true when you’re packing up your life and moving somewhere far, far away.

There are so many logistics that go into planning a long-distance move. And if you don’t have those logistics in order, by the time you make it to your new home, you can feel completely stressed and overwhelmed.

But it doesn’t have to be that way! A recent article from realtor.com outlined tips you can use to reduce stress when planning a long-distance move, including:

Choose the right date. Trying to move when everyone else is moving can make it more difficult (and more expensive!) to navigate your move. If you can plan your move during off times (for example, on a Tuesday instead of a Saturday or in the fall instead of the summer), it can be easier to coordinate and less expensive overall.

Do your research. Look into your options when it comes to movers. They are not all necessarily one size fits all. You’ll want one who has experience in long-distance moves. Knowing all of the possible options and doing your research into each one will help you make the best choice possible to avoid hiring a company that can’t provide you with the best, smoothest move possible.

Budget accordingly. The last thing you want is to move into a new home in a new city saddled with debt from a more-expensive-than anticipated move. Make sure you create a budget with a bit of extra padding in case you run into unexpected expenses during the moving process.

Move-in day excitement shouldn’t be overshadowed by moving day anxiety. Some smart preparation can go a long way towards making moving a little more uplifting (and a little less heavy lifting). Here are 5 things you can do leading up to your move to make for less stress on moving day. 1. Consider ...
