📣BEWARE OF INSTANT CASH OFFERS FOR YOUR HOME

The US Federal Trade Commission recently fined online home buying firm Opendoor $62 million for “cheating” home sellers.

The company was deceiving homeowners by claiming that “they could make more money selling their home to Opendoor than on the open market using the traditional sales process.”

Companies like Opendoor (aka iBuyers or direct buyers) use computer algorithms to offer home sellers quick cash offers. But don’t be fooled by their splashy advertising—these offers are almost always below market value.

According to MarketWatch, transactions involving iBuyers net sellers a whopping 11% less than those conducted by a real estate agent on the open market.

Listing your home with an agent is the proven way to maximize its sale price. Contact us today for a free consultation to find out what your home is really worth.

Scent has a powerful impact on our emotions—and it can make or break how potential buyers react to your home.

That’s why it’s essential to make sure your home smells its best before an open house or showing. Here’s how:

🧽 Give it a good scrub. Wipe down all surfaces, paying special attention to the kitchen and bathrooms. Use neutral-scented products whenever possible.

🗑️ Take out the trash. Empty all trash cans, even well-sealed ones, to keep any smells from escaping. Plus, no one wants to see your garbage!

🧹Clean the carpets. Eliminate built-up dirt and pet dander by having your carpets professionally cleaned. They’ll look better, too.

BONUS:
🍪 Whip up a treat! Baking cookies is a classic real estate agent’s trick to make a home smell warm, cozy, and inviting.

Do you know your community’s price-to-rent ratio?

It compares the cost of renting versus buying a home.

To calculate the price-to-rent ratio, divide your area’s median home price by its median yearly rent price. The higher the ratio is, the more expensive it is to buy compared to rent.

Even if renting seems like the better bargain today, it’s still important to consider the big picture. As the years go by, homeowners can gain equity and pay a fixed mortgage payment. Renters, on the other hand, face price uncertainty and miss out on equity gains.

Trying to decide whether buying or renting is right for you? Check out our latest blog post for more key tips.

You need to know about the 5-year rule. 🏡

Some financial experts caution against buying a home unless you plan to own it for at least 5 years. This is because there are costs associated with purchasing and selling a home, and it may take time for the property’s value to rise enough to offset those expenditures.

If you aren’t sure about your new area or think you will need to move soon for work or family, you may be better off renting for now.

But if you plan to stay in your community long term, purchasing a home can be a fantastic opportunity. 💰 That time will allow you to build equity as your home value appreciates. Plus, you’ll gain a priceless sense of security and stability.

What other factors should you consider before taking the plunge into homeownership? Read our latest blog post to find out.

Interested in investing in real estate? 🏠💰

You’ll need to understand cap rates.

A property’s cap rate (or capitalization rate) is an estimate of its rate of return. To find a property’s cap rate, divide the net annual income you expect it to generate by its current market value.

Cap rates are a great tool for comparing properties, but they don’t tell the whole story! You also need to account for financing costs, management expenses, and more.
