It is an awesome time to sell!  Prices are up since there is so little inventory of homes.  Request a home valuation and tell us a little bit about your home.  What have you updated recently?  We will give you a estimate of what your home would sell for in today’s market.  Included will be a net proceeds that shows you an estimate of expenses to sell and what you might walk away with. This will be updated when an offer comes in and we know all the terms so you can make a good decision.

Thinking about buying a home this year?  Get all your financial information together and get it to a loan officer so they can give you a letter showing what you are pre approved for.  Make sure you find a loan officer that will run your information through with their underwriters so you are ready to go.  Once you find a home and get it accepted all you need to wait for is updating the title and getting the appraiser out there.

We will guide you through the process every step of the way.

You will be the one to decide what information you want, and how often, once we start working together.  Do you want a more broad area to look, or a more defined area.  Will you look at any age, type of home,  or do you want to only view a set criteria of homes?

It all starts with getting your financial information to a lender to get pre approved.

Closed listings of single family homes is the most important column to look at.  This is actual numbers.  September was the best month so far this year followed by July then August.

New listing numbers you can’t count on because some of them were canceled and relisted.  The same for contracts accepted. Some of them did not make it through the home inspection and attorney review period for many different reasons and were put back on the market and then get a contract again.

It continues to be a sellers market.  Low inventory is causing prices to go up and we are seeing multiple offers continue with so many buyers still trying to find a home.

Next week is the last week of the year.  We will compare this year to 2019 and 2018 so you can see how this year compares to the previous 2 years.

Thinking about buying a home in 2021?  You need to contact a loan officer to get prequalified first.  Get 2 years of tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements, credit card payments, car payments and any other payments you make monthly together and get them to a loan officer so you can see what price range and what type of loan will work out best for you.  They will provide you with a letter that shows what you qualify for and that will go with an offer when you find the right home.  Sellers want to know that you qualify for their home before they will consider your offer.
