Yes, rates are higher. Yes, it’s the holidays. And yes, this might be one of the best times to buy.

Winter slows the market down, and fewer buyers means less competition and more room to negotiate: price, seller credits, repairs, even a rate buydown. If rates drop later, you can refinance. The price you paid is the one thing you can’t change.

In St. Louis right now, updated move-in ready homes are still getting multiple offers, but homes that need a little work are sitting and taking reductions. That’s where your leverage is.

What started as watching HGTV and thinking “hmm, maybe I could do that” turned into a career I’m extremely passionate about.

While I didn’t know everything, I felt it was time to take the leap. So then came Beethoven Avenue, my first rehab. Long nights. Stressful days. Plenty of moments where I questioned what I was doing and whether I should keep going.

I kept going. Watching that house come back to life, from demo to the final walkthrough, is when I knew this was what I wanted to do.

Looking back, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Every setback taught me something, and I still use those lessons on every project.
Planning is important, but nothing beats real life experience.

Sometimes reaching your goals means facing the scary thing and pushing through anyway.

If you’ve been thinking about real estate investing or rehabbing, reach out. I’d be glad to help you get started.

Who actually sets the price of a home? đź‘€

Not the real estate agent. The market does.

Supply, demand, comparable sales, and buyer competition all play a role in what a home ultimately sells for.

If you’re getting your yard ready for fall, Zick’s Great Outdoors in Wildwood is worth the trip.

Trees, shrubs, flowers, pumpkins, and a Halloween maze for the kids, all in one place. Doug has been putting down roots here for 40 years, and it shows.

Save this for your fall to-do list, and tag the friend who’s always talking about their yard.

A house just got listed for $135,000 more than the rehabber paid for it — three weeks after he bought it. New carpet, paint, two vanities, and a cleaned-up backyard. That’s the whole renovation. And the seller’s disclosure? Blank — because he never lived there, so legally he doesn’t have to tell you what he knows.

Not every rehabber cuts corners like this. But if you’re buying a flipped house, know who you’re buying from. Ask for permit history. Get your own inspection. Don’t buy the paint job.

Buying a home? DM me — I’ll help you look past the surface.

Home prices don’t move in a straight line.

Over the past 3 years, St. Louis City, St. Charles County, and St. Louis County have all seen strong appreciation — but look closely at the month-to-month swings. Some months up, some down, big jumps in certain neighborhoods and flat stretches in others. Timing and location both matter more than people think.

Want to know what’s happening in your specific neighborhood? Send me a message and I’ll pull the numbers for you.

And if you’re thinking about buying or selling, having someone who actually reads these trends — not just glances at them — makes a real difference in how you time your move and price your home.

Reach out anytime. Happy to talk through what the data means for you.

It’s okay to buy a home with older systems — furnace, A/C, water heater, whatever it is — as long as you have the right guidance and the right protections in place before those systems ultimately fail.

That’s exactly what happened here. I knew going in that a few big-ticket items were on borrowed time, so I negotiated for the seller to cover a home warranty as part of the deal. Six months later, the water heater gave out. Because that groundwork was already in place, what could’ve been a $2,000 headache turned into $150 out of pocket.

This is the kind of thing a good agent thinks through with you from the start — not just to get you to closing, but to make sure you’re covered long after.

Summer’s not done with St. Louis yet. Between festivals, live music, and a few free weekends worth planning around, September is stacked before fall takes over. Save this so you know where to be.
