Definition time! Today’s lexicon is “contingencies.”
According to investopedia.com, a contingency (or contingency clause) is a condition or action that must be met for a real estate contract to become binding. Several contingencies can be placed on an agreement that represents various conditions, such as an appraisal contingency. Oftentimes, these can also be negotiated.
The biggest piece of advice? When receiving the final contract, make sure to review and understand everything — paying attention to details and deadlines. And if you have a professional real estate agent by your side, the process can be much less overwhelming!

There are more buyers today than there are homes for sale and a pre-approval makes an offer more competitive.
According to the National Association of Realtors, the average home is getting 4.8 offers. The pre-approval lets the seller know you're qualified to buy their home.
It is the only way to know your actual price range and how much money you can borrow for your loan.

Are you hesitant about buying or selling this summer?
NOW is the time to BUY, and NOW is the time to SELL. Here’s why:
BUYERS: Not only are prices finally cooling off, but mortgage rates are inching upwards. That means now is the time for you to lock-in current rates before they creep higher and, at the same time, scoop up the home you've been dreaming of! You can always refinance when the rates drop again.
SELLERS: Inventory is entering the market every week, so now is the time for you to get your home ready ahead of the others lining up for the MLS.

Trying to create a relaxing space at home? It’s easier than you think!
Step 1: Add plants. Plants are great for adding a little green to any room, and they’re also known to help purify the air.
Step 2: Add calming hues. Maybe you have a favorite color that makes you feel calm, or maybe you want something neutral that won’t distract from your other decor. Either way, adding some hues will help make the room feel more relaxing.
Step 3: Add candles! Candles are a great way to create ambiance in any room and can add some much-needed warmth to an otherwise cold space.
Step 4: Create organization! If you have no place for things like books or magazines, then it can be hard to relax in your home—and clutter breeds stress!

Seller Tip | Show your home in good weather☀️
Don’t underestimate the power of good lighting! Especially when it comes to showing your home to prospective buyers.
An easy way to ensure you have great lighting inside and outside your home is to show it under good weather conditions. If it’s dark and gloomy, it’ll dampen the overall vibe of the home, whereas a clear and sunny day will make your home look warmer and inviting.

Do you know how real estate agents price out a home?
More factors go into the perfect price than you might think!
One of the first things your agent will look at is your home’s size and condition. Bigger homes usually fetch larger prices. However, if your home is in pristine condition, it can sell for more than even the biggest house on your street.
Your agent will also pay close attention to your home’s location, which is one of the most important things for buyers.
This can be surprising to some buyers, but one of the key factors for pricing a home is other recently sold homes. Your agent will bring their knowledge of current market trends and combine that with what other homes in your area have sold to come up with the perfect price for your home.
A lot goes into finding the right price for a home that attracts potential buyers and gets top dollar for a seller. Don’t try to do it yourself! With an agent, you’ll be able to get your home priced correctly and get the best deal possible.

Born carefree and eclectic, the bohemian design mimics the artistry of those who appreciate the textures, patterns, colors, and motifs of nature. While many take a “more is more” approach, you can do boho however you’d like: minimalist, modern, chic. The key is mixing, matching, layering, and exploring; incorporating trinkets from your travels; crafting a comfortable and meaningful space.

If you’re a first time homebuyer, here’s what you need to know about the home buying process! 5 things you should consider before buying your first home:
👉 FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER TIPS:
•
Consider what your monthly payment will be- if more than 25% of your monthly income would go towards your home will you be able to afford it?
•
Consider a fixed rate mortgage instead of an adjustable rate home mortgage, which is more volatile and leaves you vulnerable.
•
Consider comparable homes in the neighborhood you are looking to buy in. Be sure you aren’t overpaying for the neighborhood.
•
Can you put down 20% to avoid PMI? If not, calculate how much PMI you will pay until you hit a loan balance of 80% of the purchase price of the home.
•
Create a mock budget using your monthly mortgage payment and additional costs you will incur being a homeowner, including insurance, property taxes, HOA fees, repairs, etc.

If you're considering whether it's time to stop renting and purchase a home, I want you to keep in mind that the interest rate on renting is 100%..
However, renting has its perks. No maintenance costs, no down payment, flexibility to move; no concern about property value. But the truth is, your monthly rent payment is just like paying 100% interest month after month.
You see, when you toss the financial jargon, interest, at its simplest, is the fee you pay to live in your home. When you rent, that’s what you’re doing. You’re paying a fee month after month, gaining nothing other than a roof over your head.
When you buy, yes, you’re paying a fee (your mortgage) month after month, but you’re gaining SO much more than just a place to call home. You get:
- An appreciating investment
- Increasing equity (every month, the bank owns less of your home, and you own more!)
- Predictable housing costs (a fixed-rate mortgage will never change)
- Advantages come tax time
- Freedom to personalize however you choose.
In almost every situation, it pays to buy vs rent. Want to talk more and run the numbers? Let’s do it! Leave a comment or send me a DM, and I'll be in touch.
