Hello APRIL!

We are in the beginning of the spring real estate market, a time when we see a surge in both listings and buyer activity. If you’re considering selling your home, now is the time to get it market-ready

According to Realtor.com®, if you’re looking for a quick home sale at a higher price, then mark your calendar for the week of April 16–22. This seven-day stretch was identified by Realtor.com® as the best week to list your home.

A topic that’s on many buyers’ minds: timing the market. Is it really the best strategy for buying a home? Here’s what you need to know.

First off, interest rates are a big factor. While they’re currently higher than they have been in the last few years of historic low rates, waiting for them to drop further might not be the best move. The market is unpredictable, and a perfect rate might never come.

Then there’s inventory. There just aren’t enough homes for all the buyers. If you wait too long, you might miss out on a home that’s perfect for you.

So, what’s the takeaway? Don’t focus too much on timing the market. Instead, look for a home that fits your needs and lifestyle now. Whether it’s the location, size, or amenities, the right home is about more than just the price.

And remember, I’m here to help guide you through this journey. Let’s find your dream home together, regardless of market timing.
