Want to know the top mistakes today’s homeowners are making when they sell? Here they are:

-Pricing your house too high
-Skipping necessary repairs
-Not being objective
-Not being willing to negotiate

DM me if you want to talk more about how an agent can help you avoid costly missteps like these.

Let’s connect to talk more about how this impacts you.

What Mortgage Rate Are You Waiting For?

You won’t find anyone who’s going to argue that mortgage rates have had a big impact on housing affordability over the past couple of years. But there is hope on the horizon. Rates have actually started to come down.

Expert Projections for Mortgage Rates

Experts say the overall downward trend should continue as long as inflation and the economy keeps cooling. But as new reports come out on those key indicators, there’s going to be some volatility here and there.

What you need to remember is it’s not wise to let those blips distract you from the larger trend. Rates are still down roughly a full percentage point from the recent peak compared to May.

Know Your Number for Mortgage Rates

So, what does this mean for you and your plans to move? If you’ve been holding out and waiting for rates to come down, know that it’s already happening. You just have to decide, based on the expert projections and your own...

Learn why you should embrace xeriscaping in your yard.Xeriscaping ideas Xeriscaping is nature forward and may offer far more design freedom than a grass lawn does. While many landscaping companies typically use shrubs, flowers, and trees to border extensive fields of empty grass, xeriscaping welcomes immense creativity. Plant rows of vibrant bushes where nothing but plain grass may have been, and layer this look with contrasting stones and pebbles. To inspire a natural aesthetic, visit a nature center or wilderness trail near your home, take photos of Mother Nature’s work, then replicate the look on your property. For elegant inspiration, look to a historically popular xeriscape style such as a Japanese zen garden filled with white sand and small, smooth river rocks or a European garden featuring pea gravel, dense shrubs, and ivy-covered stones.

Xeriscaping: A Trendy Alternative to Grassy Lawns Eco-friendly and creative, xeriscaping is a trendy alternative to grass lawns.

How To Choose a Great Local Real Estate Agent

Selecting the right real estate agent can make a world of difference when buying or selling a home. But how do you find the best one? Here are some tips to help you make that big decision as you determine your partner in the process.

Check Their Reputation

Start by gathering information about agents in your area. From there, try to narrow down the list. Ask the people you trust if they have someone they’d recommend. You’ll want to find an agent with a strong online presence, plenty of positive reviews, and someone whose great reputation truly precedes them.

Look for Local Market Expertise

A great agent should have in-depth knowledge of what’s happening at the national and local level. That way they can clear up any misconceptions sparked by what you’re reading or hearing in the news.

Get a Feel for Their Communication Style and Availability
