Many ask the question, do home sellers and home buyers really use real estate agents? Well the numbers are in! The overwhelming majority of home buyers and sellers choose to work with a real estate agent. Why is that? Real estate agents help consumers successfully navigate one of life’s most expensive and impactful transactions—providing invaluable advocacy, support, and expertise.Sellers need an agent who can market their property to the widest range of buyers available and work tireless in their best interest. A buyer broker is needed for success in a transaction with their fiduciary responsibility aligned with the buyer. Fair Housing is important and both sides need representation to be in compliance for a home purchase transaction.Prioritizing my client’s needs is my utmost commitme...

Florida's once-booming condo market is now grappling with a crisis that has left many retirees who helped shape the state's prosperity, facing uncertain financial futures. Some retirees epitomize this struggle, having invested in their dream retirement in Florida, only to find themselves questioning its affordability. Countless Floridians feel disillusioned by the escalating costs that have tarnished the state's once idyllic allure.The surge in homeowners insurance costs, soaring homeowners association (HOA) fees, and stringent condo regulations have transformed Florida's real estate landscape. For example in a condo like the Continuum the HOA fees are at $2.50/sqft/month.  What felt like Florida was such a paradise... now feels like it’s paradise lost now. This sentence encapsulates th...

Feature Photo: 1300 Sparrow Lane, Austin, TX 78734, For SaleI'm pretty sure that Buyers, Sellers and Realtors all share in the consensus that the Austin-Round Rock Housing Market is currently frustrating as it continues to "tread water" after last year's decline.For Buyers looking for a mortgage, Interest Rates have been rising again since the beginning of April with this week's close of the 30 yr. fixed rate just below 7 1/2%, according to Mortgage News Daily.  Unfortunately, it's looking like we might be headed for October 2023's high at about 8% again!The current interest rates have put a damper on excitement for first-time buyers and people who need to move!Sellers are also impacted negatively by this and the numbers are beginning to show that the most active selling season, April -...

Transitioning from a family home to a new property can pose challenges for retirees, particularly when searching for a suitable alternative. In many areas, including the DC metro area, builders are primarily constructing four-level townhouses or luxury single family Craftsman homes, which may not be ideal due to the increased number of stairs. The limited availability of single-floor homes means that those few suitable options are quickly sold once they hit the market.Furthermore, new condos in this region often cater to a luxury lifestyle, reflecting the high cost of land. As a result, they may not align with the needs and budget of retirees seeking more practical and affordable living arrangements. An alternative for retirees in the DC area include communities like Leisure World in Si...

The inventory picture is improving and the results from Bright MLS’s most recent survey show that nearly two out of five listings were from a seller who was probably not turning around and buying another home. According to agents surveyed, 61.9% of homes sold in March were primary residences, suggesting a seller who might be in the market to buy. However, the other listings that were added to the inventory were not primary residences. For example, 14.3% of homes sold in March were rental properties. Another 13.5% were estate sales, or the sale of a property whose owner had passed away. Second homes, vacation homes, investment properties, builder sales, foreclosures, and short sales were also part of the inventory of sellers who probably were not buyers.   The Bright MLS survey also rev...
