It's hard to believe that 2016 will be ushered in at the end of this week! I want to thank all my clients for making 2015 a great year because of all the wonderful families I met and assisted along the way!! I love my job!!
The housing market has remained strong in spite of the recent interest rate increase by the Fed. As we begin the new year, opportunities exist for both home sellers and buyers in advance of the spring market!
If you are thinking about selling in the spring, start your preparations now! Here are a couple of suggestions:
1. Interview and hire your listing agent! You may have a dollar figure in mind for the sale of your home, and your agent will help you price your home and help you figure out which projects will bring you the best return on your investment.
2. Make the repairs and updates that will help your house get noticed among all the others!! As you are putting away the holiday decorations, take time to sort through items that you no longer need or want and donate useful items. It's much easier to do it in small bites now instead of trying to crunch everything in to a small window in order to get your house ready to show!
Whether you are just starting your search or have been checking out all the open houses on the weekends, I want to provide you with access to the most accurate and up-to-date information on the real estate market in Maryland. Take a minute to create a profile, and you can create your own searches using data coming directly from our multiple listing service, brightmls! The data is automatically updated every 15 minutes to help make your search productive.
While I work primarily as a Buyer's Agent, I am available to assist you whether you're ready to sell and look for your next home or are in need of a rental to meet your current housing needs. I'm also here for your friends, family and colleagues to help them reach their real estate goals.
Please feel free to give me a call or email to talk about your next move in real estate! I look forward to working with you!
