When you’re browsing homes on Zillow, you might find an amazing home that you just have to tour.
But what are you supposed to do? Call the listing agent on the property’s page and ask them to give you a tour? Well, not if you can help it. Here’s why: the listing agent is the seller’s agent. They work for the seller and only care about the seller’s best interests. That means that they don’t have any stake in the game when it comes to you besides getting you to buy the house. For this reason, it’s much smarter to work with your own real estate agent when you want to see a home. Your agent will point out all the things that you might miss and will help you get an honest impression of the property. So, when you decide that you’re ready to buy a home, find a real estate agent that you love before searching on Zillow. Then you’ll be prepared to tour that perfect home and potentially even make an offer! Want to see how I can help you find the home of your dreams?

That’s where we’re headed in 2023. After the skyrocketing home prices, crazy competition, and white-hot real estate market of the past few years, it feels kind of nice to return to a more normal and predictable market. In 2023, home sellers still have the upper hand and we’re still in a seller’s market in most areas. But buyers will have a much easier time finding the homes of their dreams as demand has become more balanced. This will make selling a home still easy, and buying a home much easier than in years past. Home sales are predicted to move a bit more slowly, but all in all, the market is healthy and happy. That makes it a great time to buy or to sell! Want to see what our market looks like for you?

The key with renovations is to make sure that they will appeal to buyers in the future. Many buyers don’t care about a high-tech bathroom with all the upgrades. They’d rather have that money put towards a kitchen or backyard renovation. So the next time you think about how amazing a steam shower or heated floor would be in your bathroom–think twice if you want to recoup that money when you sell. . . . #realestate101 #westslopebestslope #grandjunction All white bathrooms are trending right now–so how much do you love them?
A bathroom in white can feel clean, fresh, and modern to some, but others think they look too plain. Let me know what you think in the comments! . . . #bestdistinctive #bathroomstyle #white Wondering what home prices will look like in 2023?
Well, they’re expected to fall. On average, home prices will decrease 7% this year. This is due to a decrease in buyer demand due to rising interest rates and inflation. Because the demand has gone down, home prices have responded by falling. But take this into perspective: since February of 2020, home prices have soared 42%. That kind of makes a 7% fall in prices seem like a drop in the bucket. Right now, we’re seeing the market rebalance and that means that home prices will come down a bit while buyer demand also decreases. But it’s still a great time to sell and to buy! Homeowners are in a better spot to sell now than before 2020 and buyers will have a much easier time compared to buying in the past couple of years.
