'Don't look through a real estate agent's notes app'

😂 What does your notes app look like? Let me know below!

Read this if you're thinking about buying or selling a home this summer. ☀️

The summer housing market is heating up, so whether you’re buying or selling, It's time to prepare now for what lies ahead.

Here's a glimpse of what to expect if you're diving in:
- A more active selling season than spring, with sales likely ticking up by 5% compared to the first 3 months of the year.
- While sales may increase, inventory will likely stay limited as current homeowners sit tight and rates remain high.
- That's not all... Some analysts predict that rates will level off in the 6% range as inflation eases, slightly boosting affordability for buyers.

Here's what that means for buyers:

- If you find a home you love, act quickly and make the strongest offer you can. Consider a large down payment or purchase with cash if possible.
- One more tip: While you can’t control prices, you can improve your chances of getting the best rate by improving your credit score now. Three quick ways? Pay your credit card balances down, ask for higher credit limits, and review your credit report for errors.

And what it means for sellers:
- While prices have cooled from the previous year’s highs, you will likely receive multiple offers IF you price your home competitively.
- That said, you’ll definitely want to work with an experienced agent to manage offers and maximize your sale price.

Feeling like you're on a roller coaster ride with the recent fluctuations in interest rates? You're not alone!

Interest rates can be a major factor in deciding when to buy or sell real estate, and keeping up with their constant changes can feel like a full-time job.

But fear not, because I'm here to share some tips to help you stay on top of these rates without breaking a sweat:

1) Stay informed: Knowledge is power. Regularly check reputable financial news sources or sign up for updates from your bank or mortgage provider.

2) Understand what affects rates: Economic factors like inflation, unemployment rates, and the housing market can all impact interest rates. The more you understand these elements, the better you can predict future movements.

3) Consult with professionals: Financial advisors and real estate agents (like yours truly) keep their fingers on the pulse of interest rates. Don't hesitate to reach out for their expert advice.

4) Consider fixed-rate mortgages: If the uncertainty is too much, a fixed-rate mortgage could be a good option. It'll give you a set rate for a specific period, removing the worry of fluctuations.

5) Be patient: Interest rates go up and down. If they're high, it might be worth waiting if you're not in a rush to buy or sell. But remember, don't try to time the market perfectly - it's about making the best decision with the information available to you.

You don't need to tackle this ride alone. If you have any questions or if you're thinking about buying or selling, feel free to reach out. You've got a friendly neighborhood real estate agent who's more than happy to help you navigate these turbulent waters.

Following this strategy saved my first-time buyers' sanity.

They were ready to dive into homeownership but weighed down by the process.

The relief was written all over their faces as we reviewed the exact steps they needed to take.

This is the playbook that transformed their experience:

1. Connecting with an agent proved pivotal from the start.

During their buyer’s consult, we mapped out their budget, goals, and timeline, having clarity from the get-go.

2. Making 'practice' mortgage payments.

By moving money into a high-yield savings account equivalent to a real mortgage, they built confidence they could handle the financial side of buying.

3. Request a credit limit increase.
Working with their established creditors, they were able to boost their buying power and improve their credit score — just in time to secure the right loan.

4. Get pre-approved (not just pre qualified). Using my list of trusted lenders they got the certified financial go-ahead.

5. Outline non-negotiables. Armed with financial clarity, we then discussed their wants vs. needs, a list we came back to as they toured homes.

I’m happy to report that these guys are settled in and loving their new home.
