RECENT EXPERIENCES:


  • Consulted with a client the benefits of selling vs renting.
  • Helped a buyer determine fair market value of multiple properties prior to writing offers.


THINGS I CAN HELP WITH:
Looking for a home in a specific school district? My website can do that for you.
Looking for a home with an “open floorplan” or “big backyard”? My
website can do that too. Email me for these CUSTOM services.

Selling before buying can be really tricky in a market like this, but you do have options. Let me help by first
filling out this form so I can get started on pricing your current home, and then we can discuss options to prevent a double move, or worse, not being able to buy the replacement!

FORECAST: This time of year can actually be a fantastic sweet spot for sellers who are considering listing their home. Holiday buyers are serious and motivated. Consumer confidence is higher than at any other time of year. Relocating families tend to have more time and reason to shop for a new home over the holidays. However, the most compelling reason the holidays are a good time to list your home is the simple fact that there are fewer homes on the market at this time of year, which means less competition. Contact me and we can discuss your specific situation.

RECAP:
Things appear to be back on track for the areas east of highway 880. The holiday season hasn’t stifled demand as of yet.

For Comparison: Demand hasn’t been as strong for properties located WEST of 880. We are finding that different neighborhoods are experiencing a slowdown while others are still in very high demand. CALL ME IF YOU NEED ANY SPECIFIC INFORMATION.
