Treasury yields spiked today to their highest levels since 2007. The 10-year treasury yield is the benchmark that has the most direct influence over mortgage rates. This spiked to 5.1%. 13 basis points. This caused the average 30-year fixed rate mortgage to jump up to about 7,45% today. On the flip side, we did have a very strong jobs report showing jobless claims are at a 57-year low. So, while the strong labor market is good for the real estate market, the rising interest rates are not. It will be very interesting to see what the real estate market does this Fall.

Treasury yields traded higher on Wednesday as new services and manufacturing sector data increased worry of further Federal Reserve rate hikes.

You don’t always need a full renovation to make your kitchen more appealing to buyers. 🏡 A few thoughtful, budget-friendly updates can help the space feel brighter, cleaner, and more inviting, making it easier for buyers to picture themselves cooking, gathering, and living there.

If you are buying a home that has solar panels, you need to ask some very specific questions before moving forward with making an offer. You need to find out if the solar panels are leased or owned. If they are owned, you need to find out if the seller has loan on the solar panels along with a lien on the house. If there is a loan and a lien on the house tied to that loan, then the loan would need to be paid off by closing. If the solar panels are leased, then you need to find out the terms of that lease and if the lease can be assumed. Lastly, you also need to check to see how old the roof is. If you have newer solar panels on an older roof, you are going to have to pay extra money to have the solar panels removed and once the new roof goes on, pay to have them re-installed. Solar panels can be a great way to help reduce your utility bills. You just need to make sure you know what you are getting into before you buy a home with solar panels.

Sellers should determine whether solar panels are owned, financed or leased and address payoff or transfer terms before entering a sales contract.

Happy Friday! The Fed this week voted unanimously to raise rates 25 basis points, and average 30-year mortgage rates spiked to near 7%. That's obviously hurting affordability, and transaction volumes are down as a result. Silver lining? Buyers have a lot more homes to choose from, and sellers are showing greater willingness to negotiate. Click below for more information.

The market matters, but it’s not the only factor. Pricing, presentation, positioning, and how you’re reaching buyers all play a role in how quickly a home moves. When the right pieces are in place, you give your listing the best chance to stand out and connect with the right buyer. Curious about the selling process?

So true. I have seen this happen many time with buyers who think they can time the market. Don't time the market. When you are financially ready to buy and you know you will be in the same city for at least a few years, then you should buy. Real Estate is always going to be a good investment in the long term.

Nationally we saw home sales down in August compared to last year, listing inventory was up, and home prices were slightly up. These national trends are similar to what we saw here in Leon County in August. The exact percentage change are different locally than at the national level, but direction of the metrics is the same locally as it is nationally. If you are selling a home, this means you are still likely to get a good price for your home, but it may take longer to sell. If you are selling in today's market, you really have to make the extra effort to make your home stand out from the growing number of properties that are on the market. A good marketing strategy and getting your house fixed up and "show ready" is key to getting your home sold in today's market. Also, pricing your house correctly from the start is also very important. Overpriced homes will linger on the market with few showings and no offers in today's market.

Existing-home sales declined 2.0% month-over-month and 1.2% year-over-year in August to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.98 million, NAR reported. Inventory rose to 1.62 million units, a 4.9-month supply and the highest in over a decade, giving buyers more room to negotiate.
