🙃⚖️ Adjusting to a more balanced market hasn't been easy on sellers.💲 Pricing a home well has become a much bigger issue. 💲 Many think it is still 2021 when their neighbor got $50k over the asking price. 🏘️👉 But these stats show us that depending on the price range and property type, a significant portion of buyers are getting homes for less. 💪🎯 And often, they can save enough to offset the cost of a higher interest rate. Let’s gather data about the neighborhoods/homes you are eyeing and get started. 🤳🏼

🏡 Even over the spring, TIME was on buyers' side! ⏰ Gone are the days of having to make decisions within hours about purchasing a home. 😟✍️ Buyers’ regret was common. Now, even in our hottest neighborhoods, most buyers can take a day to make an offer. 🤩 Touring a home more than once is common. 🔍🚪 These stats are generalized (certain homes in all price points can move quickly and generate small bidding wars). However, they give you a sense of how properties in your price range are moving. 🤝💨 But to know what you can expect, we'd need to discuss some key topics. Let's discuss what an effective house-hunting plan looks like for you. 🤳🏼

Our market continues to make surprising shifts towards rebalancing. Take a look at DMAR’s latest stats:

- We finished May with a surge in listings compared to April.

- Even with more homes for sale, demand remains so strong that sales prices remain steady.

- Stable activity as the number of closings rose and days on the market remained consistent month-over-month.

Our seven most popular counties are a more balanced market. This level playing field between buyers and sellers offers numerous benefits.

So if your home is priced well and in excellent condition in an attractive neighborhood, list this summer – you’ll get a great return. Buyers take advantage of the larger inventory and lower competition. With house hunters busy with summer plans and or burned out from the spring, you have a better chance of going under contract when you find the right home: 303-478-8618, [email protected].

🚪 In our housing market, showings can definitely vary from listing to listing, 🏘️ but there are some general trends. 👀 For example, right now, single-family homes are going under contract faster with fewer showings. 🤝 Condos and townhomes are taking more showings - so sellers need to be extra patient. ⌛ How much could we list your property for? DM me to find out (or a text works too)!

Buyers SPRUNG into action with our surge of new listings in April. But our unpredictable economy and higher-yet-stubborn rates gave our market a hot-and-cold experience. Some homes were off the market fast above the asking price, while others sat and required significant price reductions.

INVENTORY: Sellers listed early to increase their chances of success. Our amount of listings is significantly higher year-over-year. More homeowners are ready to let go of their low-interest-rate properties.

DEMAND: Buyers are very mindful about making offers. So, the greater selection of inventory caused some parts of the metro area to be less competitive, while other areas received multiple offers during their first weekend.

For buyers and sellers to succeed in this more complex market, I’m here to expertly navigate you through the process. Let’s pull the data about your micro market and strategize so you can reach your goals: 303-478-8618, [email protected].

🤔 There's a lot of talk about recession right now. Naturally, more of your clients may be wondering what that means for housing. 🏡 In 4 of the last 6 recessions, home prices actually went up. When the economy is down, home prices' trajectory doesn't waiver. And right now, they're rising in most places. I'm here to help you bust myths like this. 💪 Ask me questions about any of the headlines.

🏡💰 How much do interest rates impact purchasing power? This is a great chart that shows you how much 1-1.5% can expand or reduce your budget 📉 (shout out to Megan Aller at First American for the chart). 💪 So, in our more balanced market, we can use negotiating tactics like a rate buydown to help reduce the interest by 1, 2, or even 3%. ✂️ That’s why this market may actually be an ideal time for you. 🤝 While purchasing power may be more limited, our negotiating power is higher and could still get you the right house in your budget. 🏆 Let’s chat and find out.

🏡 What’s one of the best trends in our market? TIME to buy! ⏰ 2020-2022 was so stressful for buyers, having to make decisions within hours about purchasing a home. 😟✍️ Buyers’ regret was common. Now, even in our hottest neighborhoods, most buyers can take a day to make an offer. 🤩 Touring a home more than once is common. 🔍🚪 These stats are generalized (I’ve seen homes in all price points move quickly and generate small bidding wars). However, they give you a sense of how properties in your price range are moving. 🤝💨 But I need to ask you a few questions to really determine what you should expect from house hunting, so let’s chat when you have a moment. 🤳🏼

🚚 Moving remains one of life's most significant choices. And the reasons behind why people are relocating have evolved. 🏡 While slightly fewer Americans have sold their primary residences, their motives reflect our changing society. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💨 What life change is on your horizon? I'm here to help you make plans.

The spring activity throughout the metro area confirms we are in a more balanced market where strategy is key:

✔️ Inventory is at record highs, giving buyers more options.
✔️Homes moving the fastest are expertly prepared, priced, and in desirable neighborhoods (with special features).
✔️Don't plan based on a massive rate drop. We can’t predict rates, so don't rely on refinancing in the months ahead.
✔️Expect a more win-win approach to negotiating. Overall, negotiating power is even between buyers and sellers.

Homebuyers, we'll put together an effective plan and search strategy so you can act when you find the right home. Sellers, how much will your home sell for? Pricing is most effective when evaluating what homes in your neighborhood are currently going for. Let's run some numbers: 303-478-8618, [email protected].
