Boosting your home's curb appeal doesn't have to break the bank. Check out these 6 ideas for every budget:

1) Add Greenery: Plants, flowers, and shrubs are a great way to add life to your home's exterior.

2) Repaint or Touch Up: A fresh coat of paint on your home's exterior can significantly impact you.

3) Upgrade Lighting: Upgrade your outdoor lighting by installing new fixtures or adding landscape lighting to highlight your home's best features.

4) Enhance Your Front Door: Your front door is one of the first things visitors see, so consider adding a fresh coat of paint, adding new hardware, or replacing it altogether.

5) Clean and Declutter: A clean and organized exterior can make a big difference. Power wash your home's exterior, clean your windows, and remove clutter or debris.

6) Install New Hardware: Upgrading your hardware, such as your mailbox or house numbers, can add a polished touch to your home's exterior without breaking the bank.

As a seller, you have the upper hand in our market right now. Major score. Whatever your asking price is, you’re likely to get offers that go above it.

But instead of just accepting the highest offer, you can negotiate even more in your favor. You can negotiate on things like
-the replacement of the air conditioner
-the home warranty
-the time to close
-and more

You can even ask the buyer to cover all of the closing costs and even your fees. Yeah, like I said, major score.

And buyers, don’t despair. Once the market shifts into the buyer’s hand (which will happen sooner than later….), you can negotiate and ask the seller to cover these things.

Q: Can I get a mortgage if I'm self-employed? In short, yes! The longer answer? You might have some paperwork ahead of you.

If you happen to be your own boss, here are three questions to ask yourself before your next home purchase:

Is your financial house in order? When you're self-employed, mortgage companies are going to need to see extra documentation, so be sure that your debt is paid down and your credit score is solid.

Have you reviewed your documentation with your accountant? If you're self-employed, you may need documentation from your CPA, before you apply, so be sure to give them a heads up before you start the application.

So, you've decided to take the step and get pre-approved!

Take some time to gather some of the initial documents that you need to complete your pre-approval application.

SAVE this post to come back to, and if you have any questions, you can DM me!

If you have any questions or just want information, let me know. I would be glad to help out.

If you’re trying to increase your credit score so you can qualify for better interest rates, focus on paying on time and paying your debts down as much as you can.

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND A HOME TO BUY?

That's been the question on most home buyers' and sellers' minds for the past year. A few factors have contributed to the low supply and high demand for homes over the past year.

Here are the factors driving the current housing demand:

1. During Covid, many people were forced to stay at home. This influenced them to start looking for new homes with better amenities.

2. Usually, new construction helps supply meet demand in the housing market. But with the spike of demand post-Covid, new construction could not keep up. Supply chain issues hindering construction companies from receiving the materials needed to stay on schedule only added to this problem.

3. Due to the low mortgage rates, many homebuyers are purchasing their second home, so they are not generating new listings.

4. In highly competitive markets like this one, homeowners are hesitant to list their property before being under contract on their new home.

Here a six essential home buying tips:

1) Discuss budget: You should know upfront how much you can afford to spend on a house. Review your existing bills and financial obligations and compare them to your income.

2) Create a list of needs and wants: It is intended that you’ll live in your home for years. Therefore, you want to opt for a place that encompasses features that you need and perhaps some that you want.

3) Do online research: Review the real estate market where you intend to move to see what houses are going for in that area. Remember to add in your needs and wants list from above to ensure you’re getting estimated sale prices on compatible properties.

4) Get pre-approved: This is very important because you will need to know how much of a home you can afford.

5) Work with a real estate agent

6) Get a home inspection: A complete home inspection done by a professional will provide you with insight as to what’s going on with the property. They will inspect every inch of the home and make you aware of red flags and improvements that need to be completed.

Congratulations Panagiotis Mihos!
