New listings has decreased every year.  This is why prices have increased.

More of the homes that have gone under contract that actually closed has increased every year.  It has helped that loan officers are putting buyer’s through underwriting instead of just getting their information over the phone and checking their credit.  We know the buyer’s are good to go and just need to make sure the appraisal works out and no issues with title.

Contact your loan officer to see what interest rates you will be offered.  It depends on your credit score.  They can also help you bring up your score if it needs a little help.  

This is a fast paced market.  If you wait until the weekend you might lose out on a chance for a home. 

It is nice for seller’s right now because you are not inconvenienced for a length of time drug out for weeks with occasional showings.  If it is priced right it will sell.  Once you get past the home inspection after accepting a contract the next person to come through will be the appraiser. 

We will guide you through the process and work with your real estate attorney on any issues that might come up with the home inspection and attorney review.

We can set you up for email alerts that will automatically email you listings of homes with your criteria as soon as they hit the market.

This is a fantastic time to be a seller!  By the time you get to closing the temperatures will be better for moving.  Request a home valuation and we will give you and estimate of what your home is worth in today’s market.  We will provide you with a net proceeds that shows you the expenses to sell.  The net proceeds will be updated when an offer comes in and we know all the terms so you can see what you will walk away with so you can make a good decision.

If you want to be a buyer you have to be patient and aggressive.  You will be up against multiple offers so you need to be aggressive with pricing and patient because not everyone can win.  If you need to get financing you have to get all your financial information to a loan officer and go through underwriting so all you need is to update title and order appraisal.  Anything less will not get accepted.  No more waiting until the weekend to look because it will be gone by then.

We will guide you through the process and let you know what needs to be done.

The type of financing you use became a big deal in 2021.  There were so many multiple offer situations seller’s had a choice of which offer to accept, and of course, cash always came first.  Not everyone has cash to purchase so Conventional was their next choice.  It was hard for buyer’s to understand this at first.  We would tell them to also get pre approved for Conventional when they would show us that they were pre approved for FHA.

58 single family homes closed that were 2,000 square feet or more this week at a median price of $422,495, last week 98 closed at median price of $426,000.  The minimum price that closed this week was $152,000, last week it was $85,000.
