During the last quarter of every year, as part of my service to clients, friends and family, I offer the opportunity to sit down with you to review your real estate holdings. I will share the most recent data about real estate activity in your area, including the number of properties active, under contract, sold and expired in the last twelve months. This will help you better understand the local real estate market and how it impacts you and the value of your home.
Interested? We can set up a meeting in person, by phone or online. Please contact me to set it up. I look forward to hearing from you! |

| MOVING IN AND OUT OF FLORIDA |
|
What goes up must come down, but what goes in doesn't always go out -- or at least that's true for Florida. Florida is an "inbound state."
Typically, the top two reasons for interstate moves are "New Job" or "Company Transfer" followed closely by "Closer to Family."
But that's not the case for Florida. In the study by United Van Lines, 38% of movers to Florida relocated for retirement. The second highest reason? Lifestyle change at 28%. |

| PRICING YOUR HOME RIGHT |
|
The price you set for your home sends a message to potential buyers. Price it too low and you might raise questions about your home's condition. Not to mention, if you undervalue your property, you could leave money on the table. On the other hand, price it too high and you run the risk of deterring buyers from ever touring it in the first place.
Pricing your home fairly based on market conditions increases the chance you’ll have more buyers who are interested in purchasing it. That makes it more likely you’ll see multiple offers too. Plus, when homes are priced right, they still tend to sell quickly.
While this isn't the frenzied market we saw during the last two years, homes that are priced right are still selling quickly That's because the number of homes for sale is still low. |
