Expert Real Estate Tips

If affordability has been the biggest thing standing between you and a home, there’s a little bit of good news.

Asking prices have started to ease – the typical asking price this May came in under where it was a year ago.

And these lower prices are good news for your move – not a sign the market’s in trouble. It points to a market that’s rebalancing with more realistic seller expectations and a little more breathing room for buyers again.

So, if you’ve been waiting for an opening, let’s connect. I’ll help you see what that looks like in our area.

APPRAISAL: an unbiased professional evaluation of a property's value. It's typically conducted by a licensed appraiser who considers various factors to determine how much a property is worth in the current market.

🔹 Why it matters:
✅ For buyers – Ensures you're not overpaying for a home by confirming its value.
✅ For lenders – Protects the bank by confirming the home’s value aligns with the loan amount.
✅ For sellers – Provides a realistic price range if you're looking to sell.

🔹 What the appraiser considers:
✅ Location – The desirability and market conditions of the area.
✅ Size and condition – Square footage, layout, and overall upkeep of the home.
✅ Comparable properties – Sales prices of similar homes in the neighborhood (called "comps").
✅ Upgrades – Any renovations or unique features that could impact the value.

Once completed, the appraiser will provide a report that includes their estimated value of the home. If the appraisal is lower than the agreed-upon price, negotiations or adjustments may be needed.

Smaller homes are having a moment.

That’s because affordability is tight and, for many buyers, smaller is what fits the budget. And builders are listening.

Newly built homes have been trending smaller since 2014 – and that’s on purpose.

They're more affordable than larger homes. And many come with built-in community amenities like walking trails, fitness centers, and even co-working spaces, so less space still delivers.

If you've been feeling priced out of bigger homes, a smaller one could fit your budget and your lifestyle. And with brand-new everything, it may not feel like as much of a compromise as you think.
