Summer might be winding down…but patio season isn’t over yet.⁣
We have a whole beautiful fall ahead of us before the temps drop.
.
Here are a few ways to get your outdoor space fall-ready:
.
🍂 Make your space extra cozy – plush seating arrangements, seasonal throw pillows, and a few soft blankets.
🍂 If you’re going to spend a lot of time outside, splurge on a heater or fire pit to use throughout the cooler months.
🍂 Swap summer florals for mums, white pumpkins, and pampas grass.
🍂 Mix twinkle lights with candlelight or warm bulbs for mood lighting.
🍂 If you’re decorating your front porch for fall, don’t forget your deck or back patio, too (I love mums and white pumpkins!).
.
Do you decorate for fall? Or do you wait for the holidays to deck the halls?

An important factor shaping today’s market is th

An important factor shaping today’s market is the number of homes for sale. And, if you’re considering whether or not to list your house, that’s one of the biggest advantages you have right now. When housing inventory is this low, your house will stand out, especially if it’s priced right.
.
But there are some early signs that more listings are coming. According to the latest data, new listings are trending up. Here’s a look at why this is noteworthy and what it may mean for you.
.
More Homes Are Coming onto the Market than Usual
.
It’s well known that the busiest time in the housing market each year is the spring buying season. That’s why there’s a predictable increase in the volume of newly listed homes throughout the first half of the year.
.
But here’s what’s surprising. Based on the latest data from Realtor.com, there’s an increase in the number of sellers listing their houses later this year than usual. A peak this late in the year isn’t typical.
.
What This Means for You
.
If you’ve been putting off selling your house, now may be the sweet spot to make your move. That’s because, if this trend continues, you’ll have more competition the longer you wait. If you sell now, you can beat your neighbors to the punch.
.
But, even with more homes coming onto the market, the market is still well below normal supply levels. And, that inventory deficit isn’t going to be reversed overnight.
.
Even though inventory is still low, you don’t want to wait for more competition to pop up in your neighborhood. You still have an incredible opportunity if you sell your house today. DM me to explore the benefits of selling now before more homes come to the market.

Asking good questions is key to being happy with the home you buy.
.
You can ask the seller's agent questions all day long, but if you're not asking the right questions, you could end up in a home that comes with surprises.
.
That's why I make sure that all of my buyers ask these questions.
.
These questions will help you head off any unpleasant surprises- like super expensive utilities or missing appliances- before you sign the closing docs.
.
Make sure to save this post for the next time you're getting ready to make an offer on a home!

You need listings - and one reason why sellers are hesitant right now is because they feel like there aren't a lot of people looking to buy homes. With today's mortgage rates, you can see why they might think that way. But that's simply not the case.

Hi! Potential sellers, the buyers demand is stronger than it was during the last normal years in the housing market. If you decide to sell right now, there will likely be a market for your house.⁠

I want you to see what I get to witness every sing

I want you to see what I get to witness every single day — that real estate is one of the greatest investments you can make for a happy and secure financial future.
.
Let me share 3+ reasons why.
.
1) Real estate appreciates.
.
Here’s the best part: There’s this concept known as "depreciation." Depreciation is a tax deduction that allows real estate investors to deduct a portion of the property's cost as an expense. The deduction accounts for wear and tear and deterioration over time.
.
So while the property value goes up, you get tax perks that allow you to deduct expenses from your taxable income, reducing your tax burden. It's a win-win!
.
2) Real estate offers incredible financing opportunities.
.
There's nothing else like it — the government is eager to loan you a substantial portion of the price of a home, typically 95% to 97% of the purchase price.
.
This means you can invest in real estate with a relatively small down payment, giving you more financial flexibility to pursue other investment opportunities.
.
3) Real estate returns are consistent.
.
In spite of stocks' faster, flashier returns, real estate has historically produced more consistent and less volatile returns. If you’re looking for passive income and have time to invest for the long term, real estate shouldn't be overlooked.
.
Further, investing in real estate:
.
• Generates cash flow • Protects against inflation • Diversifies your portfolio • Helps build wealth

😎In today's shifting market, there are three compelling reasons to consider buying a home, even with higher interest rates:
.
1️⃣ Investment potential: Despite higher rates, real estate still offers long-term investment potential.
.
2️⃣ Lock in rates before they rise further: Although interest rates are currently higher compared to the past, they remain relatively low compared to historical norms.
By purchasing now, you can take advantage of still favorable rates before they potentially rise further, potentially saving you significant interest costs over the life of your mortgage.
.
3️⃣ Stability and customization: Homeownership provides stability and a sense of belonging.
You have the freedom to personalize and customize your living space to suit your needs and preferences.
.
While it's essential to consider your financial situation and evaluate the market conditions, these factors demonstrate the potential benefits of buying a home in today's shifting market. 🏡💼✨

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately with interest rates higher than we would like to see them be!

There is a saying that says, “Date the rate and marry the house.” When you need/want to move and you find the right house, go for it and refinance when/if the rates go down.
.
If you buy now and the rates go up, think how good you will feel that you didn’t wait! 😊

We could all use a little more stability in times

We could all use a little more stability in times like these, right?
.
That’s one of the reasons why owning a home is so supportive of your emotional and mental health.
.
When you own your home, you can experience housing security. You don’t have to worry about your landlord deciding to sell the place you’re renting, switching apartment management companies or the inevitable rent hike that you’ll get at the end of your 12-month lease.
.
Plus, owning a home can help you develop financial security. When you pay your mortgage every month, you build equity and get that money back (plus some!) when you sell your home down the line. That’s just not possible with renting.
.
