 Kristi was able to sell our long time family home quickly and for our asking price.  Kristi always kept us informed and  was very professional as she guided us through the sale.  We felt that the quality of service was excellent and would highly recommend her services to other buyers/sellers.

It really is the "Most Wonderful Time of the Year"! People are bustling about shopping, baking, decorating, singing...and in many places, looking for a new home!

Remember the old classic "Miracle on 34th Street"? It's the story of little Susan Walker who does not believe in Santa Claus. If you've seen the movie, you know that she wished for a new home and when they drove by the Cape Cod the little girl had wished for, there's a "For Sale" sign in the yard.

You may not believe in Santa Claus, but your house very well could be on someone's list! Homes do sell during the Holidays!

I'd be happy to provide you with a free Real Estate Equity Analysis of your home that will provide the information you need to make a decision about selling. Call or email me today.

Warmest wishes for a wonderful Holiday Season and a Happy New Year!

Buying a house is like having a baby: there's no absolute perfect time to do either.

The down payment-interest rate-economic factors-qualification quadrangle can be so confusing. Rising rates, loosening requirements, down payment options, buyer's markets, seller's markets - what does it all mean to you if you want to buy a home? The truth is that while the banks might have a magical formula to determine your mortgage-worthiness, determining if the time is right really comes down to three main questions:

Do you want to buy a home?
Are you financially prepared?
Is your credit where it needs to be?

If yes, then go for it. Here are nine reasons to do it now.

Home prices are starting to inch up again in most areas, which is encouraging sellers to believe that their homes will sell quickly and for more money. And that's when they start making mistakes.

Don't be one of them.

Overpricing a home is the biggest mistake a seller can make. Asking a high price for your home says more about you than it does about your home. It may show you value your investment, that you have cared for the home and kept it updated and in good repair. But if the price is too high compared to other similar homes, it can make you appear unrealistic.

Buyers shop in a range that they've either been given by their lenders or one where they feel comfortable. If they're searching on the MLS, they will typically look at homes they can afford and may miss seeing the page where your home is advertised because it's out of their price range.

It's also psychologically easier for buyers to negotiate in their price target range. Buyers feel more comfortable asking for a little discount on a home within their reach than to ask you for a big discount on a more expensive home.

It's no secret that we're in the middle of a seller's market. Demand far outweighs supply everywhere, and your neighborhood is no different. In fact, many people would literally buy in your area TODAY, if only there were more For Sale signs up on the lawns! Homes are selling in under 90 days, buyers are looking and it is a GREAT time to sell yours!  

 

I am now taking listings and I would love an opportunity to get yours SOLD!
