The #1 Thing Sellers Need To Know About Their Asking Price

The last thing you want is to list too high, watch your house sit, and then have to drop the price just to get attention. Let’s connect so that doesn’t happen to you.
Want to make sure your home sells quickly and for the best price? Let’s go over the right pricing strategy for your house.

When you put your house on the market, you want to sell it quickly and for the best price possible; that's generally the goal.

Overpricing your house could cost you more than you think.
Data shows the longer a house sits, the less it sells for. And here’s why. If a house is priced at or just below market value, it typically sells quickly. But if a house is priced too high, it lingers.
As time wears on, it's more likely you’ll have to accept a lower offer, or you’ll need to make a price cut to draw buyers back in. And that’s not the experience you want.

Here’s What a Recession Could Mean for the Housing Market

The answer to the recession question is still unknown, but the odds have gone up. But that doesn’t mean you have to wonder about the impact on the housing market – historical data tells us what usually happens.
When you hear talk about a possible recession, what concerns or questions come to mind about buying or selling a home?

Recession talk is all over the news, and the odds of a recession are rising this year.

04/01/2025

Recession talk is heating up – but what does that mean for housing? Here’s what historical data tells us.
If a recession happens, many people assume home prices will crash like they did in 2008. But history tells a different story.
In 4 of the last 6 recessions, home prices actually went up. That means 2008 was the exception, not the rule.
During recessions, prices usually follow whatever path they’re already on. And, right now, prices are still rising nationally.
How does knowing home prices haven’t typically dropped in past recessions change the way you think about buying or selling?

Paused Your Moving Plans? Here’s Why It Might Be Time To Hit Play Again

With growing inventory, sellers who want to upgrade, downsize, or relocate have more choices. Plus, with less pressure to rush into an offer, it could be a great time to revisit your home search if you’ve put it on hold.
With more homes on the market and more time to make decisions, what else do you need to see in order to kickstart your home search again? Let’s talk about what’s happening in our local market right now.

Last year, 70% of buyers abandoned their home search – and maybe you were one of them.

On average, homes are staying on the market about a week longer than they did at this time last year. And in real estate, those few extra days can be game-changing. More time means more space to list your home, find your next one, and make smart decisions without the rush.
And yes, well-priced homes are still selling quickly. The market’s cooling just enough to be the sweet spot you’ve been waiting for: less chaos, more control, and solid demand.
Want to know how many days it takes to sell a home in our market? Drop your guess in the comments below.

While we’re still below pre-pandemic inventory levels, the number of homes with a for-sale sign in the yard is going up by the day. And breathe a little sigh of relief, because they’re taking a few days longer to sell, too.
Not only does that give you more choices when you move, it means you have more time to make thoughtful decisions while you’re at it. And oh, by the way – there will be demand for your house when you move because buyers are heating up right now. Win. Win.
So, if you pressed pause on your search last year because you couldn’t find the right fit, this could be your moment to start looking again.
What will it take to reignite your home search? Let me know, and we’ll make it a priority.
