January Numbers are IN

Hello! Now that Month 1 is behind us, let's take a look at the numbers!  Overall, home inventory is increasing. For buyers & sellers, this is great news! More inventory means more options for buyers and typically, a buyer friendly market means more buyers for sellers! Last year, super low interest rates had the market flooded with buyers, and competition for homes was fierce. Today, homes are still selling fast, but buyers are able to request home inspections & in some cases, closing cost assi...

And just like that, we are officially into month 2 of 2023!

How are you feeling? Good? Cold? What about excited or optimistic?

If only the ‘cold’ option rang true for you, (Feb IS the coldest month after all!) then let me share some good news and hopefully, inspire you to feel good and optimistic too!

The Good News: In January, Basia & I closed 8 sales! Big round of congratulations to the sellers and brand, new homeowners!

We also have 5 homes under-contract, and our remaining listings are recei...

After a rather uncertain Fall, the Winter is showing that folks are not waiting for the Fed to make a move. We are seeing very strong buyer activity but still rather weak home inventory. This means if you would like to sell your home, there are more buyers than available homes. Pretty good math for Sellers! But, this doesn’t mean buyers aren’t being picky. The homes that are going quickly are either very well maintained or priced very low. To sell, you must declutter, keep it clean & make it eas...

Next Weekend is Christmas then NYE!

Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, December is a fun time of year. With parties, festive lights & rumors of snow days (I heard it might snow on 12/23!), the holidays are a good time. Plus the week between Christmas & NYE is a great time to rest & start planning for the year ahead. Refresh, recharge & start 2023 with a game plan! For many, this means either buying a new house or getting their house on the market. It can be tempting to start making elaborate purchases & renovations with the h...

Waterfront Under $430K

Waterfront in Hampton Roads for under 430K? YES! Late October, I listed a great, renovated home at 2124 Mervis St overlooking Pretty Lake in Norfolk listed for $429,900!

From Pretty Lake, you can head towards the Little Creek Channel and out into the Chesapeake Bay. This area is known for excellent fishing, something you can do right from the backyard of this waterfront home. You can also launch a kayak or canoe or simply just look out your bedroom window and appreciate the water views. The home...
Q & A for selling at the holidays

Next week is Thanksgiving. Not sure how that happened. Feels like just yesterday I was trying to find time to get a quick dip in the pool to cool off & now I’m cranking up the space heater in my office so I can feel my fingers! And just as the weather has changed, so has the market. A lot. Except one thing remains the same: low inventory. It was low in February, low in May and here it is in November & it’s still low. And while interest rates have slowed down the buyer crazy train (and it was off...
