Interest rates have gone up, yes. BUT buying a home is still better than renting. Here’s why…

First, let’s take a look at the real cost of renting. Say your rent is $2,000 a month, and you rent for 5 years. $2,000 a month adds up to $24,000 a year, and $120,000 in just 5 years!

The average home value increases around 3.5-3.8% per year. Say you purchase a home for $500,000 with 10% down and your home value goes up by 3.6% each year. In 5 years, you’d make over $80,000!

Wouldn’t you rather build equity and grow your overall net worth instead of paying your landlord’s mortgage? Rental prices will continue to rise, but a fixed-rate mortgage will always stay the same. Sometimes, it can be cheaper to buy a home than to pay rent!

If you have questions about the home buying process or want to know the next steps to becoming a homeowner, send me a message and I’d love to chat more with you!

Looking for some kitchen 𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓇𝒶𝑔𝑒 𝓅𝑜𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉𝒾𝒶𝓁?

It’s no secret that buyers love storage. That means updating your kitchen [with increased storage] can get potential buyers even more excited about your house—leading to bigger offers.

The best part about these ideas is you don’t have to do a full kitchen reno. Most of these can be done in an afternoon and with just a little cash.

I recommend adding pretty glass containers for your dry goods and pantry baskets to make your kitchen look chic and super practical. Kitchen carts, corner shelving, and cabinet shelf inserts are another great way to maximize space!

SO happy for these darling clients. They just closed on their first home! This property received multiple offers (of course) I negotiated to help my clients come out of the deal feeling HAPPY 😀

Are you next? Send me a DM. I have a few tips I’d love to share with you.

Spring is off to a late start in Jersey, and we’re all itching to get outside! Next week’s forecast is looking good 😀

1. Add bistro lights to brighten up the space and add a chic vibe

2. Use a vertical planter to add greenery without taking a lot of space

3. Add some whimsy with lanterns

4. Create the perfect relaxation spot by adding some shade with outdoor curtains

5. Make your outdoor space perfect for parties with an outdoor bar cart

6. Add an outdoor area rug to give an upscale, cozy feel to the space

Some may feel intimidated at the idea of entering today’s market. I completely understand and I’m here to tell you, ANYTHING is possible with the right agent by your side.

With that said, if making a move still isn’t right for you a little extra space could be the thing your home needs to go from OK to AMAZING!

These 5 rooms could add a ton of functionality to your home and boost your home’s value when you are ready to sell.

When the homes on the market just aren’t what you’re looking for, a new build can seem like the perfect solution to your real estate needs.

For a lot of people, buying a freshly built home checks a lot of boxes.

Designed exactly how you like it? ✔

Brand new and clean? ✔

Energy efficient and up to the latest safety code? ✔

But, like everything, building can have some downsides.

That’s why you need to pay close attention to the builder, warranties and contracts so you get a great deal on an even better home.

But don’t think that you don’t need a real estate agent to buy new construction.

An agent will help you through the negotiation process and let you know if there are any red flags about the builder or contracts. And like any other buyer, the seller (builder) pays your agent!

Trend alert 🚨

Here’s the latest in kitchen countertops:

Quartz counters are BIG on trend. And they’re super popular for good reason. Easy to maintain and beautiful, quartz can be customized to any look since it’s mostly manmade material.

Butcher block is also great for a casual, less polished finish. It requires a bit more upkeep, but offers a warm, modern look that’s reminiscent of Scandinavian design.

Subtle patterns are also on trend if you’re looking for the marble look. A patterned countertop will give visual interest and texture without detracting from your other design choices.

I’m also seeing a lot of waterfall islands this year, when countertops go all the way to the floor. A super modern and clean look that I love!

What’s your favorite countertop trend? Let me know in the comments 💁🏼‍♀️

Talking about purchasing a new home? If so, you’ve probably thought about your credit score.

Flawless credit isn’t necessary to get a mortgage, but buying a house with a good credit score has many benefits, including eligibility for lower interest rates, more loan options to choose from, cheaper mortgage insurance, easier underwriting approvals, better homeowners insurance rates, and more.

You might be asking yourself, “Is my credit good or bad?” so here’s your scale:

800-850: EXCELLENT

740-799: VERY GOOD

670-739: GOOD

500-669: FAIR

300-499: NEEDS SOME HELP

How do you improve your credit? Here are some of the things you should do to raise your credit score👇🏼

- Pay your bills on time

- Increase your credit limit (if possible)

- Keep your credit utilization low

- Pay late or past due accounts

- Keep unused credit cards open

- Pay back all debts

- Dispute credit report errors

- Pay off accounts with the highest interest rate

Moving is stressful for your furry friends! 🐶🐈

Our pets can feel our energy, so when we feel anxious, they feel anxious too. Here are a few tips to make the moving experience a little easier for your beloved companions!

1. Pack an overnight bag with food, toys, litter, blankets, treats, water bowls, and beds to stay organized and keep your pets comfortable through the first few days of unpacking.

2. Drop your pets off at daycare or a friends house the morning of/night before moving day! Keeping your furry friends out of the way is the best way to reduce stress and keep them away from the action. If this isn’t an option for you, consider setting up a “pet room” in one of the rooms of your new home (or put them in a kennel), and check on them periodically.

3. Be sure to update your pets tags/microchips with your new address and phone number!

4. If you’re moving to a new area, be sure to inform your current veterinarians office so you can take records and prescriptions with you. You could also ask for a veterinary contact near your new place if you need a recommendation!

5. Take it slow! Start by introducing your pets to one room, then two rooms, and so forth. This allows them to get acquainted with the new house without feeling overwhelmed.
