Buyers are pickier than ever, so you need to prep, price, and present your home to maximize offers. Start by making small repairs, then depersonalize and deep clean. The market has changed. Homes aren't selling as quickly as last year, and buyers are taking their time. With more listings available, it's not enough to simply put your home on the market and hope for the best. If your home isn't prepared, it could sit longer than expected or face price reductions. The good news is that you can avoid that. With the right steps, you can still sell quickly and for a strong price. Here's what I recommend for every seller who wants to stand out in today's market: 1. Fix small problems before you list. Buyers are cautious right now. Higher interest rates have made them more careful with their money. They're looking for homes that don't need extra work. Minor repairs—like patching walls, fixing a loose handle, or replacing outdated light fixtures—can make a big difference. These details show that your home is move-in ready and reduce the risk of inspection delays later. 2. Make your home feel clean and open. You don't need to invest in a full renovation. What matters most is that your home looks clean, well-cared-for, and easy to picture living in. Start by clearing clutter and putting away personal items. Keep the decor simple and neutral. Add light touches that make the space feel warm, like fresh towels or flowers. Buyers notice how a space makes them feel; a clean, calm home always makes a stronger impression. “With the right plan, you can still sell your home quickly and for a strong price.” 3. Plan for kids and pets during showings. If you have children or pets, showing your home can be a little tricky. But it's important to give buyers the best experience possible. Try to be out of the house during showings, and keep the space quiet and tidy. When buyers feel comfortable, they stay longer, often leading to better offers. Selling your home this summer is still a great opportunity. But it takes the right plan. If you'd like help preparing your home and developing a strategy, reach out today. I'll guide you through the steps that help your home stand out and sell with confidence.

Are you selling your home this spring? I'll go over key home upgrades that can significantly boost your home's value without breaking the bank. Spring is finally here, which means more buyers, more listings, and, of course, the question that always comes up: What upgrades are truly worth the money when it's time to sell? It's crucial to know where to put your effort, time, and money to make sure you get the best return. Before grabbing a paintbrush or starting a major remodel, let's go over the three key things you need to keep in mind this season: 1. Skip expensive mistakes. One of the biggest mistakes homeowners can make is investing heavily in high-end kitchen remodels, extravagant landscaping, or leaving projects unfinished. Buyers prefer homes that feel clean, well-maintained, and ready to move in. If you start a project, be sure to finish it. A missing cabinet or incomplete tile job can leave a bad impression and end up costing you more than you think. 2. Focus on first impressions. First impressions are everything when it comes to upgrades. Simple improvements like a new garage door, fresh exterior paint, or stone veneer can greatly enhance curb appeal. For the kitchen, consider mid-range upgrades such as new countertops and modern fixtures. These improvements can make a big impact without the need for a full renovation. Other affordable updates, like cleaning up the yard, replacing worn carpet, and choosing light, neutral paint colors, can help create a fresh and inviting atmosphere “Pre-listing home upgrades don't always need to be expensive.” 3. Choose the right contractor. Selecting the right contractor is crucial for any renovation project. It's important to find someone you can trust to get the job done right and within budget. Ask for recommendations from friends, family, or local online groups. Once you've found a few options, get multiple quotes, check if they are licensed, and ask to see examples of their past work. A good contractor will guide you through the process to ensure the job is done right. If you're planning to sell this spring and want to focus on upgrades that add real value, not just the expensive ones, let's talk. Every market is unique, and I can help you determine which upgrades will make the most sense for your home and timeline. Call or send me an email to schedule a free strategy session, and together, we'll work on getting you the best return this spring.

With a seller contingency, buyers agree to purchase your home while giving you time to find your next home, easing the pressure of selling and buying simultaneously. If you're planning to sell your home, you might be wondering how to make the process as smooth as possible. One option you should know about is the seller contingency. While you may be familiar with the home sale contingency, which requires a buyer to sell their home before they can purchase yours, a seller contingency works a bit differently. This strategy could be exactly what you need to make your move easier. Here's what you need to know about it: What is a seller contingency? A seller contingency is when a buyer agrees to purchase your home with the condition that you find a new home within a certain time frame. This gives you the flexibility to sell your current property without worrying about not having a place to move. You can list your home and accept an offer, but the deal won't close until you've found your next home. This can be a big relief, especially in a competitive market where finding the right house can take time. Why is this important in today's market? In many areas, inventory is low, and many sellers hesitate to list their homes because they're worried they won't find another one. A seller contingency gives you the time and flexibility to search for your next home without the pressure of being stuck. This contingency is especially helpful in markets where homes are selling quickly and buyers are often competing for limited properties. With this arrangement, you can take your time to find the right property before finalizing the sale. How does it work for buyers and sellers? For buyers, a seller contingency may seem like an extra step, but it can be a great way to keep the process moving in a market where sellers are reluctant to list. Buyers might agree to this contingency in exchange for the chance to purchase a home they love. In many cases, it's a win-win for both parties: the seller gets the time they need, and the buyer secures the home they want. “In low-inventory markets, a seller contingency provides the breathing room to sell your current home while searching for your next one.” The inspection process. With a seller contingency, there's also flexibility around the inspection. Buyers can choose to do their home inspection before the seller has found their next home, or they might agree to do it after. This is something that's negotiated in the purchase agreement and can vary based on different factors. It's important to understand this detail, as it can impact how quickly the deal progresses once the seller finds their new home. Why should you consider a seller contingency? In today's housing market, where inventory is tight and sellers are often hesitant to list their homes, a seller contingency could be just the solution you need. It gives you peace of mind knowing you won't be rushed into a purchase you're not ready for. Plus, it can make your home more attractive to potential buyers, as they know you're serious about selling and willing to work with them on a flexible timeline. If you're ready to sell but have concerns about finding your next home, a seller contingency might be exactly what you need.

Measuring square footage gives you control over listing accuracy, allowing you to prevent misrepresentation and improve buyer confidence. Every detail matters when buying or selling a home. However, one of the most important yet often overlooked details is the square footage. You might be surprised to learn that the square footage listed for a home could be completely off if you did not check it thoroughly. Accurate square footage is crucial for both buyers and sellers, and getting it wrong can cause a lot of headaches. The problem with inaccurate square footage. You might think the square footage listed on a real estate website or MLS is spot on, but that's not always the case. Discrepancies happen more often than you might think. Sometimes, county records or old listings have outdated or incorrect numbers. National websites may pull their data from estimates, which can miss key details, like unfinished rooms or spaces that aren't part of the livable area. This can lead to confusion or even problems down the road. For example, if square footage is misrepresented, it could cause issues with pricing or even legal disputes. That's why it's essential for agents to take their own measurements when listing a home. Why should agents measure square footage themselves? As a real estate agent, relying on existing data isn't always enough. There's a lot of information out there, like builder specs and blueprints, but they can vary. A builder's floor plan might include areas that aren't actually finished living space, and you can't always trust that the numbers are correct. “Accurate square footage protects sellers from potential complaints or disputes.” Homes built between 1997 and 2008 often have the biggest discrepancies. Many of these homes had two-story great rooms or vaulted ceilings, and back then, builders sometimes included that upper-level airspace as finished square footage. But when listing a home on the MLS, we have to report only the true livable space. That means any airspace needs to be excluded from the total square footage. Accuracy matters. The best way to avoid these issues is simple: measure the space yourself. By doing this, you ensure the square footage you're providing is accurate and transparent. This benefits both the seller and the buyer. It eliminates confusion and builds trust between everyone involved. For sellers, accurate square footage protects them from any future complaints or pricing problems. And for buyers, knowing exactly what they're getting in terms of space helps them make informed decisions.The next time you're listing a home, don't rely solely on old records or estimates. Take the time to measure the space yourself. It's a small step that can make a big difference in your real estate transactions. If you have any questions, feel free to call or text us at 952-212-3597 or email us at ChadandSara@edinarealty.com. We'll be happy to help you out.

Welcome back to another episode of Homes &  Spaces by Ema Dantas. Today, I want to share a personal reflection on something I've been observing more and more lately—Power of Sale homes in Ontario. This was expected since the pandemic because of the low interest rates our government offered us. BUT now we are paying the price. Its a topic that's gaining a lot of traction in the Ontario real estate market — purchasing a power of sale home. If you're a first-time homebuyer, an investor, or someone just curious about how to make a smart real estate move in today's economy, this episode is for you.”

Learn three key strategies to buy your next home before selling your current one—without the stress of double mortgages. In an ideal world, the sale of your old home would line up perfectly with the purchase of your new one. But in reality, real estate transactions don't always go that smoothly. You might find your dream home before your current one sells—or worse, sell your home and have nowhere to go. So, can you buy a new home before selling your current one? The short answer is yes, but it requires careful planning. Let's explore your options. 1. Sale contingencies and delayed closings. One option is adding a sale contingency to your contract, meaning your new home purchase depends on selling your current home first. This protects you from being stuck with two mortgages, but in a competitive market, sellers may prefer non-contingent offers. Another approach is negotiating a delayed closing, giving you extra time to sell while still securing your new home. Your agent can help structure this to your advantage. 2. Bridge loans and rent-back agreements. If you need financial flexibility, a bridge loan can cover the gap between buying and selling, allowing you to make a strong, non-contingent offer. Just keep in mind that bridge loans usually come with higher interest rates and shorter terms. Another strategy is a rent-back agreement, where you sell your current home but stay in it temporarily, paying rent to the new owner while you finalize your next move. “Buying before selling works with planning, smart financing, and the right strategy.” 3. Explore alternative solutions. If those options don't work, there are other creative ways to make the transition smoother. Companies like Flyhomes, Orchard, and Knock offer programs that help you buy before you sell. You could also consider renting out your current home for passive income or selling to an iBuyer for a fast, cash transaction. However, keep in mind that convenience often comes at a lower sale price. While buying before selling can be convenient, it's not always the best financial move. Carrying two mortgages at once or relying on a quick home sale can be risky. That's why working with an experienced real estate agent is crucial—they can help you navigate the market and find the best approach for your situation. If you're considering buying a new home before selling your current one, let's talk. I'll walk you through your options and help you make the best decision based on your unique situation. Schedule a call today, and let's create a strategy that works for you!

We're answering the top three most-asked questions from sellers on pricing, pre-listing preparations, and more. Selling your home is a big decision, and it often comes with a lot of uncertainty. Whether you're relocating, upgrading, or downsizing, the process can feel overwhelming. To help you navigate through it, we'll share the three most common questions we get from sellers so you know exactly what to expect. Question #1: What do I need to do to get my house ready to sell? When preparing your home for sale, the goal is to make it as appealing as possible to potential buyers. Right now, homes that are selling are clean, well-maintained, and staged thoughtfully. You don't need to do major renovations, but small updates can make a big difference. Freshly painted high-traffic areas and replacing worn fixtures or finishes can have a huge impact. These simple steps can help your home stand out and attract serious buyers. Question #2: What is my home's worth? Knowing your home's current value is one of the most important steps in selling. Right now, it's a strong market for sellers, but market conditions can change. Pricing your home correctly is key. Factors like your home's condition, local market trends, and buyer demand all play a role in determining its value. Getting an accurate, up-to-date market analysis can help you understand your home's worth and guide your pricing strategy. “Access to off-market listings gives you an edge in finding your next home.” Question #3: Do you know any homes that meet what I'm looking for? Finding your next home is just as important as selling your current one. The market can make it challenging to find the right property, especially with low inventory. However, there is a solution: off-market properties. These homes haven't been listed yet but might meet your needs. Having access to off-market listings gives you an advantage by letting you explore options other buyers don't know about yet. Additional question: Do you know anyone looking to purchase my home? Sellers often ask if it's possible to find a buyer before listing their property. With the right connections, it's possible to find a buyer even before your home hits the market. Access to a broad network of potential buyers can help you sell your home quickly without waiting. This can be a great option for those looking for a faster, smoother sale. As you move forward with selling your home, keep these questions in mind. Understanding how to prepare your home, determine its value, and find your next place will help you make informed decisions. If you have any questions about the selling process or want to discuss your options further, feel free to call or text us at 952-212-3597 or email us at ChadandSara@edinarealty.com.

Learn three key strategies to respond to lowball offers and negotiate a better deal on your home sale. Dear friends and clients, Getting a lowball offer on a home can feel like a punch in the gut, but before rejecting it outright, it is important to consider a strategic approach. The housing market in 2025 has seen some shifts, with home prices still high and interest rates hovering around 7%. So, how should a seller respond to a low offer while still maximizing their sale? Let's explore your options. 1. Recheck the market comps. Before you react, double-check that the offer is actually low. The market moves fast, and home values can shift in just a few weeks. Some experts predict a 5% price increase this spring, so make sure your pricing is still accurate. You should also look at recent sales of comparable homes in your area. You can also ask the buyer's agent where they got their numbers—sometimes, they're just misinformed. If you can show them stronger comps, they may be willing to adjust their offer without much negotiation. 2. (Almost) Always counteroffer. Once you've confirmed your home's value, don't walk away too fast. It's usually worth countering unless the buyer isn't serious. Some buyers start low just to see if they can get a deal. If they refuse to negotiate or immediately shut down your counter, they probably weren't serious to begin with. But in most cases, a counteroffer keeps the conversation going and gets you closer to your goal. “Rechecking comparable sales in your area can help determine if an offer is truly low.” 3. Find a middle ground with better terms. Price isn't the only thing up for negotiation. Some buyers submit low offers because they're short on cash, not because they're trying to take advantage of you. Instead of lowering your price, consider asking for better terms—like a shorter inspection period, a rent-back agreement, or fewer contingencies. If price is the sticking point, offering to cover some closing costs or buying down their interest rate might help bridge the gap without sacrificing your bottom line. Lowball offers aren't fun, but they don't have to be deal-breakers. If you're selling this spring and want expert advice on pricing, negotiating, or market trends, let's talk. Call or email me today—I'm here to help you get the best deal possible!

Learn how to find out your home's true value, from simple solutions like online valuations to more involved strategies like comparative market analysis. Ever wonder how much your home is actually worth? Whether you're thinking about selling, refinancing, or just curious, knowing your home's true value is essential. But here's the issue—many homeowners rely on the wrong sources and leave money on the table. Most people turn to quick online estimates, but those tools can be off by tens of thousands of dollars. If your home is priced too high, buyers may overlook it. Price it too low, and you're walking away from potential profit. And when refinancing, an inaccurate valuation could mean missing out on thousands in equity. So, how do you ensure you're working with the right number? Having helped countless homeowners maximize their home's value, I can tell you this: understanding your home's worth isn't just about numbers—it's about making informed financial decisions. There are three key ways to determine your home's true value: 1. Comparative market analysis. This is a professional assessment done by a real estate expert—like me! A CMA compares your home to similar recently sold homes in your area, factoring in size, features, location, and market trends. It's free and far more accurate than online tools. Websites like Zillow and Redfin provide quick estimates, but you shouldn't rely on them alone. 2. Professional appraisal. A licensed appraiser provides an unbiased valuation, often required for refinancing or loans. They assess your home's condition, upgrades, and market comps. It's the most precise method but comes at a cost of a few hundred dollars. 3. Online valuation tools and research. Websites like Zillow and Redfin provide quick estimates, but you shouldn't rely on them alone. Cross-check multiple sources and look at recently sold homes that closely match yours for a more accurate picture. Which is the best option for you? If you're selling, a CMA gives you an accurate market value. If you're refinancing, an appraisal is necessary. And if you're just curious, online tools can be a starting point—but always verify with expert insight. If you're thinking of selling or refinancing and want a precise, expert-backed valuation, let's talk. I offer a free, no-obligation home valuation to help you make the best decision. Just call or email me to get started.  

Get prepared to buy or sell with two essential tips that cover financing, competition, market timing, and how to make your home ready for sale. Are you thinking about buying or selling a home? The real estate market is heating up, and you need to be prepared. Whether you're buying or selling, here are the key tips to know. Let's start with the tips for buyers: For buyers, here are two expert tips to ensure a smooth home-buying process: Get your finances ready. Before you start looking at homes, make sure your financing is in place. Talk to a local lender and get pre-approved for a loan. A pre-approval shows sellers that you're serious and gives you a clear budget. Your lender should be available when you need them, especially on weekends. Homes are selling fast, so being able to act quickly is crucial. Be prepared to compete. The market is competitive, even though it's not as crazy as it was a few years ago. Buyers can still find themselves in bidding wars. To compete, you need to be ready to make a quick offer. A lender who's available at any time can help you stand out in a competitive market. If you're planning to sell your home, timing and preparation are just as important. Here are a few tips to help you succeed in today's market. “It's essential for buyers and sellers to prepare in advance to get the most out of their home purchase or sale.” For sellers, these two expert tips will help you maximize your home sale: Understand the spring market. Spring market starts earlier than you think. It's not just April and May. Listings in February and March close in April and May. If you're waiting for warmer weather, you could miss out on the best timing. Get your home ready to sell. When selling, your home must be clean, staged, and in good condition. Small updates, like new paint or carpet, can make a big difference. If your home isn't updated, make sure it's priced competitively. Homes that are well-priced and in good condition sell faster, but overpricing could keep buyers away. Whether you're buying or selling, the key to success is preparation. Get your financing ready, be prepared to compete, and make sure your home is in good shape. If you have questions or need help, you can call or text me at 952-212-3597. I'm here to guide you through every step of the process.

Keep homebuyers committed by avoiding lengthy negotiations and maintaining clear, consistent communication. Why are buyers suddenly backing out of home deals? In my 21 years in this business, I've never seen so many buyers who start strong but second-guess themselves and back out of deals. It's happening more now than ever, leaving sellers scratching their heads. So, if you're selling your home, I'll share three tips to help you “bulletproof” your transactions and keep those buyers excited about closing day: 1. Don't drag out negotiations. When a buyer writes an offer, they're at their most excited. But time kills deals, and if negotiations drag on too long, that excitement can fade fast. You might be waiting for a better offer, or maybe you're taking your time, thinking it's a seller's market and you have the advantage. The thing is, that better offer might not come, and buyers don't like to feel ignored or disrespected. If you take too long to respond, you risk upsetting them and losing the deal. The fix? Communicate clearly and quickly. Set expectations upfront, stay responsive, and keep both the buyer and their agent informed. Keep the buyer locked in by keeping everyone in the loop. “Time kills deals. Keep negotiations smooth, responsive, and transparent to keep buyers engaged.” 2. Get ahead of inspection issues. A bad inspection can derail a sale. A buyer might love your house until they see a long list of unexpected issues, making them question their choice and potentially backing out. Being proactive helps. While I think having a full pre-inspection is too much, one of the things I'm excited about with our team is our partnerships and vendor relationships. We have contractors who can come out during the listing appointment to walk through the property and identify visible issues that may need attention. Fixing these or having a plan in place can boost buyer confidence. If buyers feel you're upfront and honest, they're less likely to feel blindsided later, which reduces the chances of them walking away. 3. Combat buyer's remorse. Even the best buyers can get cold feet after signing on the dotted line, as it's natural to overthink big decisions like buying a house. While we can't control buyers' feelings, we can ask the right questions to understand their commitment. Check with their agent about how many offers they've made, how long they've been searching, and how many homes they've seen. This information can give you a sense of whether they're ready to commit. Encouraging second or third showings is also a smart move. It may seem like extra effort, but it helps buyers feel 100% sure about their choice, and happy buyers are more likely to stick around. In the end, sellers want two things: the best price with favorable terms and a high chance of closing. Achieving this requires an experienced agent who communicates well and builds strong relationships with other agents. That's where I come in.

Going over everything you need to disclose when selling your home, from location-specific information, material defects, and more. Are you selling your home this year? If so, you've probably wondered what exactly you need to disclose to potential buyers. Seller disclosures are more important than ever in 2025, and understanding them is key to avoiding legal headaches and closing deals quickly. Transparency isn't just a courtesy—it's a necessity if you want to be legally protected. Here's a breakdown of what you need to know about seller disclosures to ensure a smooth and successful home sale: 1. Material defects. As a seller, you're required to disclose any known material defects that could impact your property's value or safety. This includes issues like foundational cracks, roof leaks, or pest infestations. Even if you've repaired these problems, it's essential to disclose them. Buyers need a full picture of the property's history so they can make informed decisions. Transparency builds trust with buyers and helps prevent disputes later on. If they discover hidden issues after the sale, it could lead to legal challenges that no one wants. 2. Repairs and property condition. Whether it's structural problems, plumbing repairs, or past flooding, sellers must document and disclose these issues even if they've already been resolved. Buyers have a right to know what they're walking into. By being upfront about the property's condition and repair history, you're not just protecting yourself from future complications; you're also showing buyers that you've taken proper care of the home. Honesty here can go a long way in building trust and confidence. “The golden rule of seller disclosures is simple: when in doubt, disclose.” 3. Environmental and neighborhood factors. Disclosures go beyond your home's four walls. Sellers are also responsible for sharing information about the surrounding environment. This could include things like being in a flood zone, nearby industrial activity, or contaminated soil. It's also a good idea to let buyers know about neighborhood-specific concerns. Providing this context allows buyers to make an informed decision and shows that you're committed to transparency, which can set the tone for a positive and cooperative transaction. The golden rule of seller disclosures is simple: when in doubt, disclose. Failing to do so could result in costly legal issues that are both time-consuming and stressful. If you're unsure about what needs to be disclosed or have other questions about selling your home, I'm here to help. Feel free to reach out by phone or email to make your selling process smooth and stress-free. Transparency is the foundation of a successful sale, and I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

A simple name search could reveal refunds or lost funds you didn't know about. I got an email the other day about taxes. I almost ignored it, but something caught my attention. It was a list of state tax department websites. Sounds boring, right? That's what I thought until I clicked on Montana's site and found something unexpected. There's a section on the Montana Department of Revenue's website called “Find Unclaimed Property.” It lets you search for money the state might be holding under your name. I typed in mine, but nothing came up. Then I tried my wife's. Boom—she had unclaimed money waiting for her. I checked a few team members, and some of them had money, too. This isn't just a Montana thing. Every state holds unclaimed money for people who haven't collected it. It could be from an old paycheck, a forgotten bank account, an insurance refund, or a utility deposit. If a company can't reach you, the money gets sent to the state. Most people have no idea this happens, and their money just sits there. Most people have no idea this happens, and their money just sits there. The good news is it's easy to check. Just go to your state's unclaimed property website, enter your name, and see if anything comes up. Try different versions of your name, maiden names, middle names, or even past addresses. If you find something, follow the steps to claim it. It's free, and the state won't charge you to get your own money. I had no idea this was a thing until I stumbled upon it.

Going over everything you need to disclose when selling your home, from location-specific information, material defects, and more. Are you selling your home this year? If so, you've probably wondered what exactly you need to disclose to potential buyers. Seller disclosures are more important than ever in 2025, and understanding them is key to avoiding legal headaches and closing deals quickly. Transparency isn't just a courtesy—it's a necessity if you want to be legally protected. Here's a breakdown of what you need to know about seller disclosures to ensure a smooth and successful home sale: 1. Material defects. As a seller, you're required to disclose any known material defects that could impact your property's value or safety. This includes issues like foundational cracks, roof leaks, or pest infestations. Even if you've repaired these problems, it's essential to disclose them. Buyers need a full picture of the property's history so they can make informed decisions. Transparency builds trust with buyers and helps prevent disputes later on. If they discover hidden issues after the sale, it could lead to legal challenges that no one wants. 2. Repairs and property condition. Whether it's structural problems, plumbing repairs, or past flooding, sellers must document and disclose these issues even if they've already been resolved. Buyers have a right to know what they're walking into. By being upfront about the property's condition and repair history, you're not just protecting yourself from future complications; you're also showing buyers that you've taken proper care of the home. Honesty here can go a long way in building trust and confidence. “The golden rule of seller disclosures is simple: when in doubt, disclose.” 3. Environmental and neighborhood factors. Disclosures go beyond your home's four walls. Sellers are also responsible for sharing information about the surrounding environment. This could include things like being in a flood zone, nearby industrial activity, or contaminated soil. It's also a good idea to let buyers know about neighborhood-specific concerns. Providing this context allows buyers to make an informed decision and shows that you're committed to transparency, which can set the tone for a positive and cooperative transaction. The golden rule of seller disclosures is simple: when in doubt, disclose. Failing to do so could result in costly legal issues that are both time-consuming and stressful. If you're unsure about what needs to be disclosed or have other questions about selling your home, I'm here to help. Feel free to reach out by phone or email to make your selling process smooth and stress-free. Transparency is the foundation of a successful sale, and I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

Discover my 3-step formula for open house success—I'll show you how to market your client's home, engage visitors, and make a great impression. Got an open house event coming up? Let's make it an unforgettable experience that leaves buyers ready to write offers on the spot. Spring is on its way, and with it comes the busiest home-buying season of the year. Hosting a standout open house can set your property apart in a competitive market. Today, I'll share three game-changing strategies to make your open house the talk of the neighborhood: setting the stage, spreading the word, and creating memorable connections. 1. Set the stage for success. First impressions are everything. Start with impeccable curb appeal: freshly mowed lawn, vibrant flowers, and a welcoming front door. Inside, focus on staging—arrange furniture to maximize space, add pops of color with decor, and highlight your home's best features. Don't forget sensory touches like soft lighting, pleasant scents, and a curated playlist to make buyers feel right at home. “When done right, an open house can drive offers and even bidding wars.” 2. Amplify your marketing. To get a full house, you need a full-scale marketing plan. Go beyond the basics with targeted social media ads, a virtual tour, and local community outreach. Partner with nearby businesses to cross-promote your event, and consider offering incentives like a gift card raffle for attendees. A well-executed marketing plan creates buzz and ensures your open house is a can't-miss event. 3. Make it personal. The secret to converting visitors into buyers is personal engagement. Greet everyone with a smile and take time to learn what they're looking for in a home. Prepare a QR code that links to detailed property information, and set up interactive elements like a neighborhood highlights board. Collect feedback with a quick survey—it shows you care and provides valuable insights for future showings. If you're ready to take your open house to the next level or have any questions about the process, reach out to me by phone or email. Let's work together to turn your open house into the launchpad for your next big sale.

How low inventory, multiple offers, and more are shaping our market. Are you thinking about buying or selling a home this year? The spring market is already here, and things are moving fast. With the changes in the market this 2025, it's important to understand what's happening before making a move. Today, I'll break down the key trends shaping today's market: Low inventory remains a challenge. Housing supply is still very limited, continuing a trend we've seen for a while. Normally, winter weather keeps listings low. However, even with a mild season this spring, the inventory hasn't picked up. This means buyers have fewer choices, and sellers have less competition. Serious buyers are driving quick sales. Homes aren't getting tons of showings, but they are selling fast. The buyers in today's market are pre-approved, motivated, and ready to purchase. If a home is priced well and in good condition, it's likely to move quickly. “Low inventory means sellers have a great opportunity, while buyers need to act quickly.” Multiple offers are back. Low supply is leading to more multiple-offer situations. While rising interest rates have kept home prices from climbing too high, demand is still strong. Prices aren't dropping, and competition remains steady. Sellers must be market-ready. A few years ago, sellers could list a home in any condition and get offers. That's not the case anymore. Buyers now expect move-in ready homes. If you're selling, clean, stage, and prepare your home to stand out. The spring market is moving fast, and the right strategy can make all the difference. Low inventory means sellers have a great opportunity, while buyers need to act quickly. If you're thinking about buying or selling, you don't have to do it alone. Call or text us at 952-212-3597 or email us at ChadandSara@edinarealty.com. We'll help you navigate the market and make the best move for your goals.

John Ring, Director of Research with Savills, discusses new analysis by Savills Ireland which finds that Monaghan has the least availability of second-hand homes for sale across Ireland.

Joanne Geary, Managing Director, MyHome.ie, discusses the 50 per cent decline in second-hand housing stock over the past ten years.

Mortgage rates are set to fall this year and well into 2025, all while housing inventory steadily increases. We're in the best housing inventory position since before the pandemic, so the question is: what happens next? Rising inventory could result in more homes on the market and, in theory, less competition, so lower prices. But, with rates coming down, home prices might go back up with more borrowers entering the market. We've got a lot of questions, but thankfully, Senior Economist at Realtor.com Ralph McLaughlin has the answers.  Ralph doesn't just study the housing market; he actively participates in it as an investor. He's on this BiggerNews episode to discuss the state of mortgage rates, when we should expect them to start falling, home price updates, housing inventory, and opportunities for investors that most homebuyers will miss. We'll discuss the real estate markets with the most and least housing inventory, why price cuts are rising, but home prices aren't falling, the best markets for investors to take advantage of during the rate-to-price “delay,” and which homes are selling the fastest. If you want to get ahead of the curve and take advantage of hot markets with opportunities that (probably) won't last, now is the time!  In This Episode We Cover Mortgage rate predictions and when we could see 2024's first rate cut  Housing inventory's huge comeback and why prices aren't falling  Real estate markets seeing the most/least amount of homes for sale  The rise in seller price cuts, but why this ISN'T leading to lower home prices  Hot markets with HUGE opportunities that investors must take advantage of before rates fall And So Much More! (00:00) Intro (01:19) Lower Mortgage Rates On the Way (06:21) Inventory Hits Recent High  (13:28) Markets with Most/Least Inventory  (15:53) Price Cuts Rise, But… (17:33) Best Markets for Investors  (20:52) Which Homes Are Selling?

Is the American Dream of homeownership slipping away for millennials? This week, we unpack the harsh realities of the current US housing market—mortgage applications are plummeting, Google searches for homes have dramatically declined, and the median sales price has soared past $390,000. Interest rates are pushing monthly mortgage payments to record highs, leaving many Americans struggling to afford a home. Despite a rise in active listings, the market is still fiercely competitive, with homes averaging just 32 days on the market. Explore what these trends mean for both buyers and sellers and why many current homeowners are unwilling to give up their favorable fixed mortgage rates, creating a bottleneck in housing availability.But what if there were a solution across the Atlantic? We're taking a closer look at Denmark's mortgage system, which uses covered bonds to offer homeowners more flexibility even when interest rates rise. This innovative approach allows Danes to pay off their mortgages for less, making it easier for them to sell their homes and move on. Could such a system work in the US, and what would it take to implement these changes? Join us as we dive into the potential benefits and challenges of adopting a Danish-style mortgage system in America, and what it could mean for the future of homeownership, especially for millennials.
