Now is the time to prepare for a successful 2018! If you are planning to buy or sell in the next three to six months, I have some advice to share with you. To set yourself up for success:
Buyers – If you are thinking about or plan to buy a home next year, now is the time to prepare you buyer package. In this type of market, with this kind of demand, you are likely to encounter a multiple offer situation. It is still a seller’s market, and we are going into the lowest inventory of the entire year. Get your loan in place, get your financing set, and get prepared to make an offer.
Sellers – If you are thinking about or plan to sell your home next year, now is the time to prep your home for sale. We are going into the lowest inventory of the entire year, with the expectation that active inventory will be at its lowest point as compared to the last few years. This is the time to invest in preparation. As you have heard before, homes that are prepared to go to market sell quicker and for top dollar.
If you need help preparing to buy or sell in 2018, please don’t hesitate to Contact Us! We would love to help you go over strategies for making your dreams a reality. We are only a call, text or email away. You deserve to love where you live and give where you love!
