Is Real Estate Cooling Off…or Just Heating Up? 🔥
We’re halfway through summer, and if you’ve been trying to figure out what’s really happening in real estate right now, you’re not alone.
➡️ On one hand, we’re seeing high interest rates and affordability challenges.
➡️ On the other hand, there’s still plenty of activity—some homes are flying off the market in days while others are sitting in the heat!
🔁 It’s a classic case of mixed signals, and that’s why it’s more important than ever to lean on good information and a smart game plan.
No matter where you stand; buying, selling, or investing-here are some tips to help you make the most of this sizzling season:
Thinking About Buying?
Don’t let the headlines scare you away. While the news likes to shout about record prices and bidding wars, the reality is much more local. In some neighborhoods, inventory has quietly crept up, and motivated sellers are ready to negotiate.
👉🏽 Pro Tip: Let’s get specific. I can help you zero in on the zip codes where opportunity is waiting (sometimes with less competition than you’d expect).
Considering Selling?
Summer buyers are out in full force, but they’re pickier than they were last year. Rising mortgage rates have made folks cautious-and they expect your home to stand out.
👉🏽 Pro Tip: Tidy up, price smart, and highlight your property’s unique features. With the right prep, you can still attract serious offers while the weather’s warm.
Exploring Investment Opportunities?
This is prime time for investors who know their numbers. Rental demand is strong in many markets, but so is the need to plan for potential vacancies and shifting rents.
👉🏽 Pro Tip: Cash flow is everything. Let’s run some scenarios together to make sure your next property fits your goals without stretching you thin.
