Very happy for my client on her accepted offer! After helping to build a home for her parents in Kenya, she was able to get back into the search for her own home.
After a week of searching, we submitted an offer and it was accepted the next morning.
It will be nice to see a little more weight off of her shoulders.

HOT TAKE: A CASH OFFER IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY THE STRONGEST OFFER.

“BUT IT’S CASH!”

Okay… and?

Price, contingencies, inspection, closing timeline, earnest money, and overall terms matter too.

And if you’re a listing agent who gets one cash offer and immediately tells your seller to accept it without considering whether creating competition could produce better offers…

You may be doing your seller a disservice.

I don’t care how long you’ve “been in the business.” Experience doesn’t automatically make the strategy right.

Sometimes the strongest offer is cash. Sometimes it’s not. And sometimes the strongest offer hasn’t even been written yet.

One recent discussion on the TODAY Show really caught my attention.

According to the segment, 25.2 million adults under the age of 35—nearly 1 in 3—are currently living with their parents.

With rising home prices, student loan debt, higher grocery bills, gas prices, and the overall cost of living, homeownership can feel increasingly out of reach for many first-time buyers.

What's interesting is that not everyone views this as a setback. Many people interviewed said living at home has allowed them to save for a down payment, reduce financial stress, and spend more quality time with family. Some parents even said they enjoy having their adult children at home.

As a REALTOR®, I see firsthand how affordability has changed the path to homeownership. While buying a home is still possible for many people, the timeline often looks different than it did a generation ago.

I'm curious—what are you seeing? Do you think multigenerational living is becoming the new normal, or is it simply a response to today's housing market?

If you know me, you know my mornings always start with the TODAY Show.

One of TODAY's segments covered the best home upgrades to make before selling, and the results were interesting.

In a survey conducted with Ace Hardware, simple cosmetic improvements often delivered a better return than expensive remodels.

Here are a few of the biggest standouts:
• A new garage door could provide up to a 268% return on investment.
• Refreshing your front and back doors could return as much as 216%.
• Painting or refinishing cabinets can give your kitchen a fresh look without the cost of replacing them.
• 🌱 Maintaining your lawn and landscaping could provide up to a 147% return.

The takeaway? You don't always need a major renovation to maximize your home's value. Buyers often form their first impression within minutes of arriving, so investing in your home's curb appeal and making a few affordable cosmetic updates can make a significant difference.

If you're thinking about selling, I'd be happy to help you decide which improvements are worth making—and which ones you can skip.
