Hello!

Much like the summer temperature, the real estate market is hot, hot, hot right now when it comes to sales of both new and existing homes booming.  In fact, according to a recent study conducted by the National Association of REALTORS®, "the housing market is healthy with little chance of a national housing downturn over the next year."

Furthermore, the recent report from NAR says:

"The employment, household, mortgage market, and house price components of the national LIHHM remained positive with the latest available data. Housing affordability at a national level is neither undervalued nor overvalued with little sign of a national house price bubble."

What does this mean for you?  It means that it is a terrific time to buy or sell your home.  Because the market is healthy, in many cases sellers are receiving multiple offers on their homes and their homes are selling fast.  As such, buyers do need to act quickly, as it's competitive out there.

If you're planning to buy or sell this summer, you're going to want a seasoned, experienced advocate on your side to ensure you get the best price, in the shortest amount of time on your home sale.  If you're buying, you're also going to want to have a passionate advocate working on your behalf to make sure that you secure the home of your dreams.

I'm here to answer any real estate questions you may have this summer, so please don't hesitate to contact me.

Wishing you a safe, healthy and fun summer,


Sincerely,   

 

Kristi Weinstock

Eight No-skip Steps To Buying a Home

There are eight major steps you will take when you buy a home and each one is as important in its own way as the last.

 

Make your wish list -- Decide where you want to live and how many bedrooms and baths you'll need. Consider lifestyle -- condominiums offer shared amenities, with little responsibility. Single-family homes offer more space and privacy, but they also require more exterior and yard maintenance. Consider buying a fixer-upper for a reduced cost so you can remodel it to suit your needs.

Great Home Updates You Can Do For Under $100 
 

A sushi dinner. A Saturday night movie for four (with popcorn). A new pair of Nikes.

 

They'll all cost you about $100. But wouldn't you rather put that money toward something that'll make you smile whenever you walk in the room? Take that 100 bucks and freshen up something in your home. It'll be money well spent.

 

"Updating your home can be a huge undertaking and cost a lot of money, but it doesn't have to be! For under $100, simple updates like a coat of paint, cabinet hardware, or even a new rug can make a big impact without a big budget," said POPSUGAR.

 

Here are a few places to start.

 

New Hardware

Nothing freshens up a kitchen faster. This case of 25 stainless steel pulls will give your kitchen a modern touch for just $49.

 
What My Clients Say...

The service and personal attention we received from Kristi Weinstock was exceptional and unexpected from a Realtor!  Her knowledge of the local market and the community helped us sell our home quickly in a very tough market.  Her positive attitude made this challenge much more pleasant!

 

After patiently going through comparables and suggesting reasonable home improvements she developed a marketing plan like no other with impressive marketing materials.

 

Kristi's communication with us was excellent.  She promptly returned calls when necessary and did an excellent job of providing timely feedback on showings.  At some points in the transaction we were in a couple different states but she still managed to coordinate the deal.

The CB office staff was professional, courteous and prompt in scheduling showings.

 

Regardless of whether you are buying or selling, we would highly recommend Kristi Weinstock to help you in this life changing move. We could not have asked for a better Realtor to guide us through the process.
