Hi there! July has that peak-summer feeling: Long lazy days, impromptu stops for ice cream and last-minute adventures. To me, this month always flies by the fastest, so I’m soaking in every bit of sunshine and time with family! Before we dive in, here’s a little peek at life lately: 🍉 Personally, the month of June held LOTS of travel and fun. My kids spent a glorious week with my in-laws in FL and I took the opportunity to travel with my sister to Bozeman, MT. Wow, that is one beautiful place! We stayed in teepee’s and spent the week hiking, water rafting, and relaxing. The boys attended two VBS’s and Cole attended a baseball and basketball camp. Chris and I played in a pickleball tournament that my office put on and we WON! I still can’t believe it. Lastly, we just took a trip to Pennsylvania to go to our favorite theme park Knoebels and spend time with family. Have you done any fun traveling this summer? I’d love to hear about it! 🏖️ Professionally, things have not slowed down! I had three sellers close on their homes, one is on to a new state, one bought a RV, and one was a builder. I had two buyers close on their homes, one bought an amazing lake front property and one was a first time home buyer. Lastly, I had two lease listings close. Both of these families are holding onto their asset and continuing to build equity. July is shaping up to be another busy month as well! There is SO much opportunity in the market for buyers right now and for sellers it’s never been more important to list your home correctly from the get go. I had a seller consultation this month and I actually advised them NOT to sell yet since they didn’t have to move. If you’d like an honest consultation to discuss you’re options, just reply to this email! What’s something you’re looking forward to this month? Hit reply and let me know—I love hearing what you’re up to!
A Buyer’s Market Emerges What This Means for Buyers and Sellers For Buyers: The market is offering more choices with new listings up by 4.8% year-over-year, giving you a broader selection to consider. With median days on market at 32, up 28% from last year, you have a bit more time to decide, though acting promptly is still key. The median sales price holding steady at $385k and a slight 1.6% decrease in median price per square foot to $189 could provide opportunities for better value, especially in growing areas. This shift toward a buyer’s market, driven by increased inventory and a slight dip in price per square foot, gives you more negotiating power, though the 32-day sales pace retains some seller momentum. For Sellers: The increase in new listings adds competition, so making your home stand out is crucial. Pricing competitively and emphasizing unique features will be essential in this market with more buyer options. Exploring off-market listing strategies could also help gauge interest without impacting market days, even as the market tilts toward buyers. Curious about your home’s value in this evolving market? Whether you’re considering selling soon or want to know your home’s current worth, I’m offering a free, no-strings-attached home value estimate just reach out!
