Every buyer has their version of a unicorn. 🦄

In real estate, that usually means the property that checks the boxes you thought you’d have to compromise on. The trick is knowing which things are truly rare and worth waiting for. Location, lot, views or neighborhood can be difficult or impossible to recreate. Paint, finishes, fixtures and other cosmetic details can usually be changed.

Knowing the difference can keep you from passing on a great home while waiting for one that checks every single box. That’s where having a clear sense of your must-haves, nice-to-haves and dealbreakers really helps.

If you’re starting your search, we’re happy to help you sort through what’s truly worth holding out for. 💯🔑

As we move into fall, the real estate market continues to shift, with inventory reaching its highest level in nearly a decade. Higher interest rates are having a noticeable impact on buyers, who are taking more time to make decisions and being increasingly selective.

We’ve seen the market slow further over the past month, but we’re also seeing a welcome return to a more balanced market. Buyers have more choices, less competition, and greater negotiating power than they’ve experienced in years. For sellers, homes are still selling, but pricing, preparation, and presentation have become more important than ever. While this adjustment takes some getting used to, a more balanced market creates opportunities for both buyers and sellers. It’s a market that rewards patience, realistic expectations, and a thoughtful strategy.

Our monthly Senior Solutions luncheons continue to be a great success! We recently welcomed Sandra Cook from Emerald Communities, who shared her expertise on the different styles of senior living, from independent living and continuing care retirement communities to assisted living and other options. Visit our website to see our upcoming monthly luncheon topics. We’d love to have you join us!

Good news if you're house hunting: the asking price may not be the final word. 🧐

Right now, about 60% of homes are selling below their original asking price. With budgets stretched thin, a little give on price or terms can take some pressure off your wallet. But how much you can negotiate depends on where you're buying.

Let's chat about what you can ask for in the neighborhoods you're eyeing.
