Trying to confirm a palette for your home to give it a fresh look this spring? Here are 3 tips for choosing your home’s !

🖌️ Think of the type of ambiance or vibe you want to convey in your home. Calm? Bold? Modern? This will narrow down your selection.

🖌️ Consider the colors you gravitate towards more often. You want to be surrounded by colors that make you happy!

🖌️ Think about what’s best for YOU and your home rather than giving a ton of attention to trends. While trends can provide inspiration, your home is meant for you and no one else!

The world of real estate can be a bit jarring to new homeowners. Not because of the overwhelming process of searching, finding, bidding, and closing on a house but because of the foreign terminology.

Real estate vocabulary isn’t usually taught in school, so one of the missions of this page is to make the learning curve a bit easier with some vocabulary lessons. 👍

With that being said, let’s cover the term assessed value!

is the dollar value assigned to a piece of property for property tax purposes, according to Investopedia. There are many pieces that go into calculating this price, including the value of comparable properties in the area.

Any dedicated real estate agent will tell you that they probably need to incorporate more meditation in their life to deal with the stress of the industry. Buuut… the reality looks more like checking MLS as soon as they open their eyes. And it’s a “mystery” where the burnout comes from… 🤔 🤣

Are you ready to sell your home? Go through this list, and if you resonate with one or more, it’s probably time!

✅ Your home doesn’t fit your lifestyle anymore because you’re growing your family or you want to downsize.

✅ It’s a seller’s market. (A surplus of interested buyers and a limited inventory of homes on the market.)

✅ You’ve reached Maximum Capital Gains Exclusion. This is rare but it can happen, and it’s a great way to optimize your wealth-building potential.

✅ You have enough equity in your home.

✅ You have enough savings or cash in the bank to support any necessary repairs.

✅ You’re feeling ready to move on and willing to put in the work to sell your home.

Have you been sitting around, wishing you could be in a house where you feel truly at home? Or perhaps you wish you “had the chops” to renovate the place you’re in now to transform it into your dream home. Maybe you wish you knew how to sell your home so you can move on to the next chapter in your life.

No matter what your situation is and what goal has been on your mind lately, consider this your sign. Go and make a game plan for yourself so this goal becomes reality! You don’t want to sit around forever wishing and thinking, “what if?” You deserve it and you are capable. ✨

A real estate agent’s routine most likely includes checking MLS every other hour. Look, it IS self-care because we drive ourselves mad if we’re not up-to-date with the latest real estate trends and listings. Who else feels the same? 😅 ✋
