The last 5 years have proven to be quite a rollercoaster in the real estate world.  We went from a time where putting a sign in the yard equaled multiple showings the next day or even an hour later to a time where you might actually have to move that sign several times when mowing your grass before you even get a showing!  Where did we end 2024 and what does this mean for 2025 if you are thinking of entering the real estate market as a buyer or seller?

Many clients of ours have lots of questions and misconceptions when it come to who pays which closing costs and what is negotiable.  This brief episode discusses both buyer and seller closing costs and which fees are dictated by other agreements and obligations to be paid by particular parties and which fees are often negotiated.  

On this episode we will discuss a list of items that subtract value from a home in a buyer's mind. . .something that no homeowner wants to do.  I encourage all homeowners to listen to this list and work on crossing some of these items off your list sooner than later.  You never know when a surprise move may enter your world and it's so much easier to do small improvements over the years rather than all in the 2 weeks before a move!

In this episode we discuss language that comes up frequently when we are visiting with a seller about the market value of their home.  Items that add value and items that add desirability are both smart improvements but some items tend to add an actual tangible increase in value of your home vs just making a buyer like and choose your home over another.  Listen to this episode to learn the difference between the two.
