If you've made the decision that you're ready to purchase a home, congratulations! That's a big milestone. 🔑

Starting the home buying process is exciting, but the next step isn't to go house hunting just yet. The next step is to get PRE-APPROVED! This step is critical, especially in the competitive market that we're in right now. 🥊

To get pre-approved, you must meet with a lender. A lender will look at factors such as your credit score, debt-to-income ratio, income and employment history to determine how much you may qualify for. This will give you an idea of your price range and will help you keep your home search within your budget! 💰

When you do find a home you love, having your pre-approval letter in hand can show sellers that you’re a serious buyer whose credit and finances are in order. ✅

If you're ready to get started, send me a quick message! I can help guide you on your next steps. 📲

5 ways to boost your home's curb appeal! 🏡

One of the quickest and most noticeable ways to refresh your home is actually by freshening up your curb appeal. The first impression of your home is the exterior, so it's important to stay on top of it. You can't beat Spring curb appeal, so this is the perfect time to head outdoors and give your home a refresh. 🌳

Here are 5 quick ways to boost your home's curb appeal:

1. Clear debris and pull any weeds around walkways and driveway

2. Mow and clean up the edges of your lawn

3. Plant seasonal flowers in garden beds, pots or hanging baskets

4. Tidy up your front porch; clean off debris, wipe down furniture, wash windows, add a new welcome mat

5. Check that all outdoor lighting is in working order. For an extra boost, add landscape lighting around trees, shrubs and walkways

Here is a little Monday motivation for all of the home buyers out there! 🔑

A lack of homes for sale has made house hunting a challenge, but data is pointing to an increase in inventory ahead!

According to the 2022 Home Sellers Report, about 64% of prospective home sellers plan to list their properties by the end of August. 🔥

This is great news for first-time home buyers. According to the report, 43% of homeowners planning to sell in 2022 expect to close for $350,000 and below - which is the price range many first-time buyers target - and the segment that has seen intense competition. 🏡

An additional 39% of homeowners plan to sell their homes between $350,000 - $750,000, which is a price range popular among move-up buyers.

Ready to start your home search? This is why location is so important! 📍

You can change or update MOST things in your new home but you cannot change your location. You can knock down walls, paint, landscape, replace flooring, swap out kitchen cabinets, remodel the bathrooms, you name it, but you can't update your location. Start your home search by getting clear on your ideal location.

Start by narrowing down these 3 categories:

📍 Location 1: Start broad

📍 Location 2: Consider your daily lifestyle

📍 Location 3: Get specific on the home itself
