The Hardest Parts of Selling Without an Agent

There’s a reason only 5% of sellers sell without an agent.

The ones who tried selling solo point to the same three sticking points – getting the price right, knowing how to prep the house, and selling on time.

That’s a lot to juggle alone. And getting any one of them wrong can cost you time, money, or both.
But a good agent handles all the hard parts. So, let’s connect when you’re ready to move, and we’ll chat about what a smooth sale looks like for you.

Most Sellers Pay for at Least Some of Their Buyer’s Closing Costs

A few years ago, sellers could say "no" to just about everything a buyer asked for.

No repairs.
No concessions.
No negotiation.

Today? The market looks a little different. Zillow says 67% of sellers pay some or all of their buyer's closing costs.

That doesn't mean every seller should do it. But it does mean the most successful sellers today understand something important:

The market has shifted. And that's means negotiation is back on the table. Sometimes helping with closing costs makes sense.

Sometimes another concession is the better move. But it’s normal for today’s market to require some give and take.

Your next home doesn’t need to check every box on your wish list. It just needs to check the right ones.

Even though affordability is improving, it’s still tight for many buyers. And the people who are moving right now are realizing one thing can make the process a whole lot easier: a flexible wish list.

Cotality found 70% of buyers ended up compromising on one or more wish list item.
And for those buyers, that simple shift opened up more homes that fit both their needs and their budget.

When’s the last time you took a look at your wish list and sorted it into what's truly a must-have and what's a nice perk?

If you want help or want an expert’s insights on what to prioritize in our local market, DM me.

A little flexibility can open up a lot more opportunity.

Buying a home is getting more affordable, and this graph helps explain why.

It shows how much of a household’s income typically goes toward buying a home. As a general rule, spending 30% or less of your income on housing is considered affordable.

For the last couple of years, the math was still well above that threshold. But lately, things have been getting better thanks to a mix of lower mortgage rates, slower home price growth, and rising wages.

While affordability isn't going to snap back overnight, the trend is finally moving in the right direction.

If you want to talk through what this means for your buying power, send me a message and let’s break it down.
