Prash Gunda - Vancouver, WA Realtor

More homes just hit the market – and that doesn’t usually happen in the fall.

Thanks to a drop in mortgage rates, 11.6% more homes were listed for sale in September than at this time last year. That means you’ve got more options to choose from, so you can finally find the home you’ve been looking for.

Let’s connect and take advantage of what’s out there while it lasts.

If you have a tighter homebuying budget but are eager to get your foot in the homeownership door, don’t rule out townhomes and condos.

They’re usually more modest in size, but that can come with the advantage of being easier on your wallet. Plus, there are more available right now.

Let’s chat so I can show you what’s for sale in our area.

There are plenty of reasons to consider a newly built home today—inventory is up, and builders are offering incentives. But don’t forget the importance of having your own agent.

Recent buyers who purchased a brand-new home agree their agent was more helpful than the builder rep throughout the process.

You don’t want to make such a big purchase without the right team. So, let's connect.

Worried about a housing market crash? Here's why supply and demand show you don't need to be.

In a balanced market, we see about a 6 months’ supply of homes for sale – meaning supply and demand is about equal. Back in the 2008 crash, that jumped way up to 13 because there were too many homes for sale. And today, we have only a 4.2 months’ supply.

This shows we're not even back to normal – and we’re really far off of what happened in 2008. That’s why a crash isn’t expected.

Open House: Oct 12th & 13th from 11 am - 2pm. Yes, you are invited. 🙂 Trust me this Open House is going to be a major hit, obviously because this home is such a catch. Come in early and get the feel of the home at your own pace.

Tired of sifting through new listings week after week, but simply not finding what you may be looking for? Nothing checking the boxes? This new-to-market home may be the answer. Imagine finding a truly updated, move-in ready, no-excuses home at an unbelievable price. Now imagine that the updates aren’t limited to just the kitchen, but found throughout the home. Yes, all appliances are updated, as are the quartz surfaces and tile backsplash, but that’s just the beginning.

The updates continue upstairs. The primary bath includes a new tile step-in shower with frameless glass doors, dual sinks, updated surfaces and a spacious walk-in closet. Note the extra large bonus room that can double as another primary bedroom. The soaring foyer, and 9’ ceilings accentuate the judicious use of main floor space, complete with office, laundry, and 1/2 bath, all updated. Don’t miss the abundant natural light that fills nearly every room, a value-add for those shorter winter days or just feel good all year. Back to the main level; the professionally maintained backyard is pure magic; perfect for quiet nights or hosting a BBQ with friends. Don’t worry about over-inviting though, the large patio, professionally landscaped, and manicured lawn, ensures plenty of space for everyone. Yes folks, it’s even fully fenced.

Recent maintenance includes water heater, roof and HVAC. What’s missing? Just you. Adjacent parks, schools, services and just a quick drive to Portland and PDX help make this the right location.

Call me on (360) 859-7929 if you have any questions. See you at the Open House. 😊

Seeing headlines that the median price of a home has dropped? It's easy to assume that means home prices are falling. But that’s not the case.

While median prices have dipped, that's because smaller, less expensive homes are hitting the market—and that’s impacting the mix of sales and driving the median down.

A closer look shows prices are still rising nationally. Have questions? DM me.

Looking to sell your house in today’s shifting market? The secret to standing out and selling quickly is to hire a pro.
An agent will use market data to find the right price, give advice on what repairs to tackle for maximum impact, and what concessions you may want to consider (like help with closing costs).
Let’s connect to come up with the strategy that’s right for you.

Walking into the Sunset. 🌅

Are you waiting for rates to drop below 6%? You may want to rethink that strategy because other people are going to do the same thing.

If rates dip more, it’s likely that buyer competition will go up, driving prices higher.

Right now, we’re in a sweet spot with lower rates and more homes to choose from.

Want to learn more about why buying now might be the better move? DM me.

According to a recent study from Zillow, Mortgage payments are lower than rent in 22 of the 50 largest U.S. metros.

That’s a game changer if you’re thinking about owning a home.

Let’s grab a calculator and do the math together to see if buying might be right for you in our local market.

You're probably wondering: is it better to move now or wait?

To make sure you’re making the best decision possible, let’s chat.
Together we can go over other market factors that may have an impact on your decision – like buyer demand, home prices, and the potential to gain equity.
And once you've got all the information, you can decide if buying now makes more sense for you.

Grateful for the trust and kind words from Abdulaziz after helping his family sell their home! 🙏 It's always an honor to guide clients through this important process and make it as smooth as possible. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey. Looking forward to helping more families find their perfect homes here in Clark County, Washington. Let’s make your next move stress-free too.

Trust me – you don’t want just any agent when you buy or sell a home.

You want someone who specializes in your local market.

Because what you’re hearing on the news may not apply where you live. And you need someone who can give you that expert perspective on your neighborhood too.

Want a rundown of what’s happening in our area? DM me.

Buy now or wait? That’s the big question for a lot of buyers.

But what you may not realize is just how much equity is at stake if you delay. Even the forecasts for more moderate home price growth could add up to $90,000 in equity over the next 5 years.

So, if you want to move and you’re able to now that mortgage rates have fallen, let’s chat about why it’s worth it to get the ball rolling.

Are you saving for your down payment? Here’s something you’re going to want to know.

Most first-time homebuyers qualify for programs that can help with that upfront expense. But few actually take advantage of it.

To see if you qualify, make sure you connect with a trusted lender or I can connect you to my preferred lender who has been crushing it for 30 years now. It could help you achieve your homeownership dream sooner than you thought possible.

Have you heard the good news? Mortgage rates are trending down.

And, if you’re looking to buy a home, that helps your bottom line. As rates drop, your monthly payment on your next home does too.

The change we’ve already seen could save you hundreds of dollars a month.

Mortgage rates are dropping. As a result, more buyers are getting ready to re-enter the market. That’s clear based on the rise in mortgage applications since rates started to fall.

If you’ve been thinking about selling, let’s talk about how to get your house ready so you can take advantage of increased buyer activity.

🔥

Have you felt like homeownership is out of reach? You aren’t alone.

But here’s some good news: builders are focusing on bringing smaller, more affordable homes to market. And if we open up your search to include those new builds, we may be able to find the right fit for your budget.

Let’s chat if you’re ready to explore what builders have to offer in and around our area.

Mortgage rates have hit their lowest level since February 2023 – and that’s big news.

So if you’ve been sitting on the homebuying sidelines waiting for this to happen, it’s time to talk about making your move. Because the monthly savings is going to be a game changer for your purchasing power.

DM me and I’ll show you how the recent decline may help you get a better monthly payment than you’d expect.
