The Credit Score Myth That’s Holding Would-Be Buyers Back

Expert Forecasts Point to Affordability Improving in 2026

Just Sold Real Estate Group on Instagram: "Selling your house as-is may sound like a good idea – until you look at what’s happening in the market. On the surface, it feels easy. No repairs. No projects. No extra effort. But here’s the reality. Right now, most sellers are making at least some repairs before they list. Why? Because inventory is up, buyers have choices again, and condition matters. Homes that feel move-in ready get more attention and stronger offers. Homes that don’t? They sit longer and sell for less. Now, that doesn’t mean selling as-is is wrong. It just means it comes with trade-offs. Before you choose the easy route, let’s look at all your options. I’ll show you what buyers are responding to right now in our market – and help you decide what makes the most sense for your situation. #SellingAsIs #HomeSellingTips #KeepingCurrentMatters"

Just Sold Real Estate Group on Instagram: "You may not want to put your moving plans into hibernation mode this winter, because the savings this time of year are real. LendingTree found January buyers paid about $23k less than May buyers for the same size home. And that’s largely because the price per square foot drops off in the winter due to less buyer competition. That’s only one of the perks of buying now versus waiting until the busier spring season. Curious what acting now could save you in our market? Let’s talk. #BestTimeToBuy #HomeBuyingTips #KeepingCurrentMatters"

Just Sold Real Estate Group on Instagram: "Your next home doesn’t need to check every box on your wish list. It just needs to check the right ones. Even though affordability is improving, it’s still tight for many buyers. And the people who are moving right now are realizing one thing can make the process a whole lot easier: a flexible wish list. Cotality found 70% of buyers ended up compromising on one or more wish list item. And for those buyers, that simple shift opened up more homes that fit both their needs and their budget. When’s the last time you took a look at your wish list and sorted it into what's truly a must-have and what's a nice perk?

How To Stretch Your Options, Not Your Budget

Just Sold Real Estate Group on Instagram: "When’s the last time you had an agent show you the value of your home? Odds are, it was when you bought your house. That’s too long to go without an update, because a lot has changed in the housing market. And it’s a big reason why most homeowners have no idea how much their house is actually worth today. The real numbers surprise almost everyone. Data from Realtor.com shows that even homeowners who purchased the average-priced home just 10 years ago likely have almost $285k in equity to leverage. And that’s just because they’ve been paying down their home loan and how prices have risen over time. If you want to know what your number looks like, send me a message and I’ll run a personalized estimate for you. It’s a no-obligation, no-fuss way to find out what your biggest asset is worth. Because it’s a number every homeowner needs to know, even if you’re not planning to move anytime soon. #HomeEquity #HomeValueEstimate #KeepingCurrentMatters"

Why More Homeowners Are Giving Up Their Low Mortgage Rate

Just Sold Real Estate Group on Instagram: "People are going to talk about the housing market when they get together this holiday season. And you’re going to hear a lot of different opinions. Make sure you’re getting your information from a true expert. Here are the real answers to the top 3 questions that may be on your mind: “Will I be able to find a home if I want to move?” Yes, there are more homes for sale now than there have been in years, giving buyers more options and sellers more places to go. “Should I wait for prices to come down?” Experts aren’t projecting a big decline. While prices will always vary by area, nationally they’re expected to keep rising for at least the next 5 years. “Will I ever be able to afford a house?” Affordability is slowly improving as mortgage rates ease and price growth cools, making monthly payments a bit more manageable than they were even just a few months ago.
