Fact: It pays to be a homeowner. 🏡

Why?

One word: Appreciation. Your home’s value is set to rise over the next 5 years, and here’s the proof.

According to Pulsenomics’ Home Price Expectation Survey (HPES), over 100 experts –comprised of economists, investment strategists, and housing market analysts– agree that home prices will continue to rise annually, between 3-4%, through 2027.

Let’s bring that to street level.

Imagine you invested in a $400,000 home at the start of 2023. Thanks to HPES forecasts, your property could potentially gain a whopping $71,000 in added value over the next half-decade. Now, that’s what we call a return on investment. 🤯

The takeaway here is clear - being a homeowner truly pays off in dividends. You haven’t just purchased a property; you’ve acquired a growing asset that boosts your wealth year after year.

If you’re contemplating the leap into homeownership, let’s connect. Together, we’ll explore how your home can be a wealth-building investment.

New Year, New House?

We are revealing today what our sellers say *actually* helped them sell their homes for top dollar.

1) A slight under-market list price.

It feels counterintuitive, but sellers willing to list their homes just under market value tell ua they’ve been handsomely rewarded. Competitively priced homes typically ignite bidding wars, resulting in a selling price far exceeding the initial listing.

2) Next-level cleanliness. 🧼

Our crazy successful sellers typically choose to invest in professional cleaning services. Imagine walking into a home where the scents are fresh, surfaces gleam, and carpets feel like they've never been stepped on. A few hundred bucks can transform your home into a canvas where buyers can paint their future lives.

3) Multiple rounds of decluttering.

We're not talking about tidying up; we're talking about a ruthless purge. If you've lived in your home for years, what seems normal to you might look like clutter to potential buyers. Sometimes, it takes a few rounds to strip back to the essentials, ensuring your home is show-ready and inviting.

4) A seller’s credit.

In today's market, where buyers are grappling with high-interest rates and low inventory, finding a home is challenging. That's why when sellers offer incentives, it's more than just a financial perk; it becomes a source of relief for buyers.

Need a hand or more insights?

We are just a message away! Let's sell your home for maximum profit! 💵

Contemplating a 'For Sale' sign among your December decorations? 🎄

Here are a few thoughts to help you minimize stress, stay in the festive spirit, and secure a quick sale:

The Do’s

1) Embrace the season: Decorate tastefully to showcase your home's holiday charm and help buyers envision their own future celebrations in your space.

2) Cozy up: Create a warm, inviting atmosphere with soft lighting, comfy throws, and delightful scents.

3) Stay flex: December is a hectic time for everyone. Be accommodating with showing schedules to make the process smoother for all parties involved.

The Don'ts

1) Overdo decor: Less is more when it comes to holiday decorations. Avoid overwhelm and let your home's layout, lighting, and features shine.

2) Forget basic upkeep: Amidst the holiday hustle, remember essential home upkeep. A well-maintained home makes a first — and lasting — impression on buyers.

3) Over-personalize: Clear out personal items and excess clutter to help buyers visualize living within your four walls.

Remember, December buyers are serious buyers, so if you’re ready to make the most of this month’s real estate market, message us, and let's chat about your listing today.

Investing in your first rental property can feel intimidating. 🏡🔑

But did you know there are reliable formulas that can help you determine whether a property is worth pursuing?

It's like playing financial detective long before a penny ever slips your hand!

While the stuffy, technical term is “real estate pro forma,” these calculations and formulas are simple ways investors can estimate rental income, factor in expenses, and anticipate projected long-term gains. 💰

And while these pro forma calculations are about as detailed as you can get, there are other general “rules of thumb” newbies investors should keep in mind when perusing properties. Here are four:

1) Location, location, location: Consider factors like desirability, proximity to amenities, and whether it aligns with your target market. A great location can be an investment game-changer, so choose wisely.

2) Cash flow is king: Take a close look at the numbers and ensure that the rental income will cover your expenses, giving you some extra padding for unexpected repairs or vacancies.

3) The appreciation factor: If cash flow is king, let's call appreciation (the long-term value of a property) “queen.” When checking out a property, look into the historical and projected appreciation rates of the zip code and neighborhood to see what it might be worth down the road.

4) The 1% rule: Experienced investors say the monthly rent should ideally be at least 1% of the purchase price. For example, if you're eyeing a property worth $200,000, aim for a monthly rent of $2,000.

Remember, these are just guidelines, so do your due diligence and consult with experts in your area. The more information you gather, the more confident you'll feel in your decision-making process.

Overpriced home prices are so last year. 👋🏼

Like every trend, though, you can easily find a handful still hanging out on the market — but only if you know what to look for.

Let us show you how we spot inflated home prices for our buyers so that you can feel great about the house you’re getting and the price you’re paying.

1) Get cozy with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA).
A CMA is THE best way to determine a house's fair market value. Put together by a knowledgeable agent, it’ll compare recent sales of similar properties nearby to paint a picture of what homes are currently selling for. Keyword here? Currently.

2) Check the time on the market.
A property that’s been sitting on the market for a while may indicate an inflated price. Well-priced ones attract interest — and sell — quickly. (FYI: the average days on market in June 2023 was 44.)

3) Appraisal vs. listing price.
You’ll be well into the buying process before the appraisal comes back, but it’s critical in confirming a property's value. If the appraisal comes in lower than the listed price, it's a serious red flag.

4) It’s what’s on the inside that counts.
Does the home boast a shiny, new kitchen, or is it stuck in the 90s? Interior and exterior upgrades can add or subtract from a home’s value. If things don’t add up, it’s time to ask some questions.

5) There’s no crying in pricing (or, at least, there shouldn't be).
Sometimes, sellers get attached to their homes, leading to “emotional pricing” - pricing based on data AND sentimental value. Have compassion, but negotiate with your CMA in hand to avoid paying more than you should.

An experienced agent or two 😉 is your best defense against spending more than you should.

Reach out if you have any questions about the home buying process!

We’d love to help! ✨
