Should you buy now or wait? Consider this. If you bought a $400,000 home at the start of this year, you’d be set up to gain roughly $83,000 in equity over the next 5 years based on expert forecasts. So, if you’re ready and able to buy today, remember to factor in the equity that’s at stake as you make your decision. This is why time in the market is better than timing the market. #realestatetips #homeprices Message or call me to discuss buying or selling? Brandy Huffman, REALTOR (828) 446-7229

Shockwave within the real estate industry. Most of you know that my side passion is real estate and that I closely follow all things real estate. This verdict is the biggest challenge to an established industry that created such a moat around access to listings and associated info that it almost made it required to use a realtor to sell or buy a home. What comes next is unknown. But if you ever sold your home and cringed at paying 6% commission (myself included), half of which went to the buyer's Realtor, you may have an entirely different experience next time. While seller's potentially may benefit with lower commissions, the bigger question is who and how will buyers be served. Some Realtors assume that the buyer will be willing to pay for Realtor services. However, that is highly unlikely given the behavior and expectations Realtors set for buyers. If we assume that buyers are not willing to pay for Realtors then here are some questions for discussion. - Who will vett that buyers are valid and qualified? - How will buyers view homes if they are not being escorted by a Realtor? - Who will submit and advice on making an offer? A highly legal process. - Who will make sure the buyer does all their task to get to closing? While this verdict opens the door for lots of questions there is also lots of opportunity. #NAR #Home #RealEstate #Opportunity https://lnkd.in/dngsZGmi

SPRING IS ALMOST HERE! 🥳🌼🌸🌷 What does this mean for buyers? ⬇️ 🌷 More competition - Warmer months are the busiest times to buy a home, if you are interested in a home there are mostly likely going to be many others who find interest in the same home. 🌷 You need to act fast - Since we are going into a market where more people are trying to buy a home, if you find a good deal you need to act fast! If you can go see a home the day it goes on the market, it may be best to cancel those plans and go check out the home! 🌷 Be ready to negotiate - You are more likely going to run into a few multiple offers situations (more than one person has placed an offer at the same time). If you really love the home then you need to be open to negotiating. If you have been wanting to buy a home there is still time to go ahead and start your home search before the bigger crowd roles in! Let’s set up a meeting to get you started! ▪️ Leslie Cortes 💌 leslie.camposrealtyteam@gmail.com 📞 706-313-9268 Keller Williams CT Capital 706-508-4608 #springhomebuying #homebuyertips #georgiarealtor #daltonga #daltongeorgia #daltonrealtor

You read that right, CLOSED for 110k under asking price. Deals like this don’t happen everyday! This home needs TLC and the asking price was not supported by the market. If you’re thinking to buy or sell, there are two lessons here. 1.) SELLERS— I always tell my sellers that an overpriced home will ultimately sell for less. Starting too high and “testing the market” will never do you any favors. You lose your competive edge. This is a prime example but my buyer ended up on the winning end of the deal. 2.) BUYERS— There are deals in every market. It’s not going to be the fully updated “Move In Ready” home. If you can find a motivated seller, play your cards right and be willing to put in the work, you can negotiate instant equity plus gain sweat equity down the road. I can’t wait to see this custom home all shined up and being enjoyed again. 🏡 Nicole Brickner Denovo Realty REALTOR & Lic. Broker Associate #floridarealestate

There’s no denying the last couple of years have been tough for anyone trying to buy a home because there haven’t been enough houses to go around. But things are starting to look up. There are more homes up for grabs this year. As Realtor.com explains: “There were 30.4% more homes actively for sale on a typical day in April compared with the same time in 2023, marking the sixth consecutive month of annual inventory growth.” What Does This Mean for You? If you’ve been looking to buy but put your plans on hold because you just couldn’t find what you were searching... #housingmarket #househunting Message me if you would like to talk about buying or selling.

No Sweat If you’ve been holding off selling because you’re worried about buying next, it’s time to reconsider. The market’s ripe for both selling and buying.
