How We Helped Andy and His Wife Feel Comfortable Purchasing Their First House

“My wife and I’s experience working with Joe was top notch. Joe was very professional throughout our whole process and leading us as new home buyers, not really knowing what to expect, made the process really clear. He was always willing to connect with us. We would call him in the evenings and I always wondered if he got a day off. It seemed like he was always working so he was always really quick to respond, very thorough. He always made us feel welcome with asking questions and almost made us feel like family. He just got to know us as people and got to know what we were looking for. Great experience overall. We highly recommend Joe to anyone looking to buy a house or sell.”

Fall is here and many home sellers are wondering if they should wait for spring to put their home on the market. There are three reasons why fall is actually the perfect time to sell your home:

1. You will face less competition from other homes on the market. Right now, there are only 1.9 months of inventory available on the market. That means if no new homes were listed on the market, we would be sold out in less than two months. That is way less inventory than we saw in the spring or summer but there are still a lot of buyers out there. Now more than ever, our market really needs inventory.

2. There are more motivated buyers in the fall. Right now, most buyers in the market want to get into their new homes before the holidays. There will still be a lot of people looking for homes in January or December, but fall buyers tend to want to close before the holidays.

3. Values continue to skyrocket. Home values have gone up 11% from $350,000 in 2015 to $390,000 in 2016, which is incredible for our marketplace.

Our market needs new inventory now more than ever.
