August 2024 market update and tips Can you believe we are approaching the end of summer?! It's been quite the whirlwind lately, helping sellers and buyers and finding some time for family time before kids go back to school. The real estate market has been busy, even with more inventory.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but...

✓ It will never be a buyer's market & seller's market at the same time
✓ If you sell high in a seller's market, then you are also buying "high"
✓ If you buy low in a buyer's market, then you've also sold "low"
✓ You cannot sell at the height of the market and buy at the low of the market at the same time

It's pretty impossible to perfectly time the market. So instead, focus on making a move when it makes the most sense for you.

Have questions about buying or selling in today's market? Send me a message — I'm always here to help!

Looking to sell your home at the best price and speed? Presentation is key!

Here are two simple tips to enhance your listing:

1. **Stage it:** Home staging, especially for vacant properties, but also for occupied homes, can make a world of difference. Virtual staging is an option, but nothing beats the feel of walking into a beautifully staged home. It helps potential buyers envision themselves living there, creating a comfortable and emotional connection.

2. **Deep clean:** A clean home speaks about its care and maintenance. Professional deep cleaning, including carpets, reassures buyers of your commitment to upkeep.

Investing in these services may seem like an extra cost, but the returns are significant. Time and again, staged and well-maintained homes sell at higher prices and more quickly.

When you list with me, I provide tailored options to maximize your investment and minimize your efforts.

Dreaming of small town living or a cabin in McCall? Does beautiful scenery near the lake, forest, and close to town sound appealing?

I took a trip to McCall yesterday to see my new listing and it’s always such a treat to visit, even for the day!

There is something special about small towns, and McCall is one of my favorites. Gorgeous views surrounding you, outdoor activities at your doorstep, deer sightings a regular occurrence, even slow and courageous drivers.

If you’re interested in building or buying in the McCall area, check out this lot that is in an ideal location, next to Ponderosa Park, and just a short walk to Payette Lake. There’s easy access to an array of recreational activities including ATV trail adventures, biking, hiking, and golf at the nearby McCall Golf Course. In winter, enjoy nearby skiing options while the warmer months offer endless opportunities on the lake, and exploring the beautiful surroundings.

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY ✨

It's never too early or too late to take a step toward the life you've always dreamed of.

So many dreams go unrealized when all we have to do is take a step... any step moving in the direction of what you want. It almost doesn’t matter what, as long as it's different from what we've been doing. Focus on one small change you can make today, right now, that will give you more control over your life. One tiny change that will set you off in the general direction of your dream. Embrace challenges as opportunities, setbacks as lessons, and doubts as fuel for your determination.

You are capable of creating the life you desire. You have the power to rewrite your story, redefine your journey, and take bold steps toward the life you envision.

Purchasing a home can be an exciting yet complex process, which is why having a knowledgeable real estate agent by your side can reduce stress, save you money, and elevate your whole buying experience.

Your home purchase is more than a transaction; it's a pivotal moment in your life, and as your agent, I am here to protect and guide you throughout your homebuying journey.

Here are just a few of the ways that having an agent by your side can safeguard you during the homebuying process:

✔️ Expert Guidance: I help you navigate the complexities of the market and find homes (both on and off the market) that meet your needs and budget.

✔️ Market Insight: I have in-depth market knowledge and experience to educate you on the current market conditions and ensure that you are always informed about what is happening in the market.

✔️ Negotiation Skills: I advocate for your best interests and negotiate on your behalf to secure the best possible deal while ensuring a smooth process from start to finish.

✔️ Protection of Interests: I understand the ins and outs of contracts and know how to protect you throughout the process, no matter what may pop up.

✔️ Trusted Advisor: From the initial search to closing, and then long after, I am always around to answer your questions and offer guidance — whether it’s home-related or not.

It's crucial to have a trusted agent advocating for your best interests 100% of the time and guiding you throughout the process because unexpected things can come up.

I want my clients to walk away from closing not just happy they have a new home but thrilled that they have an agent for life that they know they can always count on.

Let’s kick off the new year by diving into the home design trends that are predicted to be huge in 2024, according to designers:

• Mixed metals: It's all about the combinations this year. Don't be afraid to combine brass and black or bronze, or brass and nickel! Mixing metals in your kitchen and bathrooms will add visual interest and sophistication, offering a modern yet timeless look.

• Browns are making a comeback: Earthy tones are back! Warm browns, terracottas, and other natural hues will bring a sense of grounding and coziness to interiors, complementing the bold accent colors of the year.

• Comforting curves: Whether it's a curved sofa, dining table, or coffee table, curvy lines promote a soft, calm energy that creates a welcoming space. I personally love all of the curved sofas we're seeing!

• Bold accent colors: Say hello to vibrant, statement-making colors! Expect bold hues to take center stage, adding depth and personality to interiors. From rich blues and deep greens to bold purple and peach, these colors infuse energy and a sense of positivity and light into your spaces.

What trends are you loving right now?

Reminder! Your monthly homeowner checklist ✔️

December is a notoriously busy month, and while home maintenance probably sounds like the last thing you want on your to-do list, it's important to make sure your home is prepped and ready for the winter months ahead!

Save this post for the upcoming weekend, and give yourself an early holiday present by completing a few maintenance tasks before cold weather truly sets in.

Don't forget — this is the perfect time of year to clean out your closet and donate any unused or unwanted clothes, shoes, or toys!

The holiday season is upon us, and while it can be a time for joy, celebration, family, and fun, the holidays can also be very stressful.

So, amidst the celebrations, remember to take care of yourself! Here's your self-care holiday checklist to ensure you enjoy the season to the fullest:

🍿 Watch a movie (maybe even a Hallmark original).

🎁 "Treat yo self!" Treat yourself to a massage or buy yourself something you want. Don’t feel guilty about giving yourself a gift. You are worth it.

🕯️ Have some quality alone time. Read a good book, take a bath, go for a walk, start a puzzle, listen to music. Do something alone that makes you happy.

💤 Take a nap. Listen to your body and honor it if it wants to rest.

🏋️ Find time to exercise. Fitting in some movement can help you relieve stress and anxiety, boost energy, and just feel better all around.

📝 Make a holiday gratitude list. Instead of getting carried away by everything you need to do, acknowledge, celebrate, and express gratitude for all you have to be grateful for this holiday season.

❤️‍🩹 Don't forget to make room for grief during the holiday season if you are missing loved ones who have passed or are no longer in your life. Save some time for reflection and remember that it’s okay to be both happy and sad at the same time, even during the
holidays.

Save this post for later, or share it with someone who could use it.
