June is around the corner so let’s stay on top of those monthly chores.

Additionally, consider cleaning windows inside and out. My clients all know how to work those double hung windows.

Plus, check drains for left over leaves. Check downspouts - they should be in place and not holding water. Spray your back yard for mosquitos, you certainly can pay a company but yard spray works. Finally, plant something beautiful to enhance your yard and bring a smile to your face.

Home maintenance doesn’t have to be a chore. Remember to do one thing or something each day or, at least, several times a week. You got this.

Happy June!

Home builder confidence ticked up in May, rising three points to 37. While still below the 50 mark that signals expansion, the index showed modest gains in current sales, future expectations, and buyer traffic.

What’s the bottom line? Higher mortgage rates, rising gas prices, and broader economic uncertainty continue to weigh on demand, according to National Association of Home Builders Chairman Bill Owens. However, potential policy efforts aimed at boosting housing supply could help support sentiment going forward.

Pending home sales, a key measure of signed contracts on existing homes, increased 1.4% from March to April, beating expectations and marking the third consecutive monthly gain. Sales activity was also up 3.2% compared to this time last year. The Northeast and Midwest saw the strongest monthly growth, while activity in the South slowed slightly.

What’s the bottom line? Despite economic uncertainty and higher mortgage rates, buyers are showing “cautious optimism,” according to Lawrence Yun of the National Association of REALTORS®. Yun added that demand could strengthen even more if mortgage rates move closer to the lower levels seen earlier this year.
