FEBRUARY 2 | Happy Groundhog Day!
It’s no secret that life nowadays is a teensy bit stressful, serious and sometimes downright exhausting, am I right?! 🤷I think we could all use a day where we celebrate watching a groundhog climb out of a hole and predict how long winter is going to last. 😂
Seriously, name something more ridiculously awesome than that, I dare you. 😉
Luckily today’s the day!
So for one day, let’s focus on embracing life and all of its quirky traditions.
My fingers and toes are crossed that Spring and new beginnings are just around the corner. 🌱🌱

FEBRUARY 3 | Housing Market Predictions 2022
If you’ve been in the market for a new home this past year, or even two years, then you probably know that housing prices continue to hit record highs.
While trying to predict the future of the housing market is a little like trying to forecast the weather months in advance, here are a few top predictions based on the current landscape:
↗️ Prices are positioned to continue climbing for the first few months of the year, keeping us in a seller’s market, but are expected to then taper off into more normal levels.
➡️ Demand will also continue to be strong, unless inflation outpaces wages, which will then dissuade buyers.
↘️ Inventory will continue to struggle due to rising costs of building materials for new home construction.
Although housing prices continue to climb, rental prices are climbing as well, so it’s still a good time to buy if you can afford to. The best strategy to follow is to continue saving and be sure that you can afford the house you buy, while also ensuring you have enough in your rainy day fund to support you if any unforeseeable factors arise.
How are you feeling about home buying in 2022?
***** ALTERNATIVE CAPTION
Will it Crash or Boom? 🤔
It’s a smart move to want to know what’s in store for the Housing Market before diving in. 🏠
Here are my predictions for 2022. 🏠
🔸 For home buyers, you’ll have much to look forward to in 2022 as the inventory of homes for sale is finally on the upswing. 🙌 Still, the market will remain competitive, particularly for those looking for starter homes. Competition means having to make quick decisions in order to win offers. 💪💪
To navigate these waters, it’s important to carefully consider your budget and hone in on a list of must-haves.
🔸 For homeowners that are ready to sell, you’re in a good position, as we are in the midst of a seller’s market, meaning the seller has the upper hand. 🙏🏻
Demand is high, and with supply still low, sellers can set their prices higher. 💵💵
🔸 Expect to see bidding wars on many homes, especially as the market heats up during Spring & Summer. 👪🏠
🔸 Of course there’s a lot more to the market than noted above. No matter if you’re a first-time buyer, renter, seller, or investor it’s normal to have questions and concerns.
That’s what I’m here for. Send me a DM and let’s chat about what’s holding you back. 🥰

FEBRUARY 4 | *BEWARE* When choosing an agent TIP # 1
As a full time real estate agent, I understand the true difference between a career and a side gig within this industry. Agents who choose to do real estate part time are not actively following the market. That leaves you at a major disadvantage, both as buyers and sellers.
🔸 Buyers, you want an agent who can show you new listings as they come up, so you have a better chance at closing a deal if you choose to.
🔸 Sellers, you want an agent who can readily show your home to prospective buyers. Part time real estate agents do not have the time required to stay on top of the market.
This is a full time business, I put my client’s best interest first, meaning I am actively following the market and participating.

FEBRUARY 8 | What are the costs associated with Sale of the Property?
After years of building equity and improving your home, you’re finally ready to sell. 🙌🏻
You may envision getting handed a big, fat check after you sell your home – but not so fast. The cost of home selling can add up quickly.💸💸
Below I’ve listed the most common costs associated with selling a home so you don’t run into any scary surprises. 😉
🛠️ Repairs & Renovations
🏡 Realtor fees
💰 Buyer Incentives
📝Closing fees
🚚 Moving Expenses
So as you can see, the costs of selling a home are much more involved than getting that 💲💲 and running for the hills.
You can expect to pay around { ___ % } of your home’s final sale price to go towards selling costs.
At first, that might seem high, but if you hire a GREAT Realtor (that’s me! 🙋♀️) with a stellar marketing plan these costs pay for themselves.
If you’re thinking about selling your home, shoot me a message. As an experienced Realtor, it’s my promise to get you the best price with as little stress as possible. 👌👌
***** ALTERNATIVE CAPTION
If you’re ready to sell your house, you should also be prepared for the fees that are associated with it. This can be overwhelming to think about and understand, so I’m going to break down what types of fees and costs you might see on your ledger when all is said and done.

🔸 Real estate agent commissions (insert %)
🔸 Inspections and repairs (varies)

🔸 Seller concessions (2% – 6%)
🔸 Overlap costs (1% – 2%)
🔸Moving and relocation costs (varies)

All in all, you should be prepared to spend about { ___ % } of the sale price on these selling fees.

FEBRUARY 9 | Seller Tip: How do I Decide on price?
Before your property goes on the market your real estate agent ( Me 😉) is responsible for determining a price to list your property for.
I would compile a comparative market analysis to review properties of similar types in your area that are on the market. This information is vital in determining a price point because you will have an idea of what people will pay for your property, allowing you to set a competitive price.
Some real estate professionals turn to their peers, to get their opinion on what the property is worth and then take a poll including their own determination to give you the best figure.

💭How do I like to live?
💭What’s more important to me in terms of location?
💭Ways I enjoy spending time at home and in my neighborhood?

FEBRUARY 11 | RED FLAGS When choosing an agent! TIP #2
Wanna know another “Red Flag” to look out for when choosing an agent?
Alright… Well, let’s continue with Red Flag #2:
Low commission!
You get what you pay for. Traditionally, commissions range from 5% and up. This percentage is typically split between the buying and selling agent.
If the commission is lower, this generally means that fewer agents will show your property. The loophole to this logic would be if the agent is completing both duties of listing and selling, at which point you can negotiate a lower commission. Tricks of the trade.

✔️Do I need help managing clutter?
✔️Do any rooms need to be repurposed or accessorized?
✔️Does my current decor have a cohesive look that is attractive to buyers?
✔️What exterior repairs are needed that may be overlooked?

**** ALTERNATIVE CAPTION
There are many factors that can affect a buyer’s interest in your home, don’t let any easy fix like your decor and cleanliness be the deciding factor.
Here are my top 5 staging tips to help give your home more buying appeal for little to no cost!
🔸 Declutter:
clutter is distracting for buyers, drawing their attention to your stuff instead of the room itself. It can also make a room look smaller!
🔸 Clean, clean, clean:
A clean home feels well-cared for, which will give buyers a good first impression. Make sure to deep clean every room, and don’t forget about walls and baseboards! But be careful with overpowering cleaning solutions. Pro tip: bake cookies prior to a showing or open house for a more pleasant and homie scent!
🔸 De-personalize:
everyone has different tastes in decor, and you want the buyer to be able to envision themselves living there.
🔸 Refresh rooms with neutral, light-reflecting colors to brighten them up!
🔸 Add mirrors to make smaller spaces appear larger and brighter.

FEBRUARY 24 | Divorce your landloard
Today I’m breaking down some reasons why it may be time to make the switch from renting to owning. After all, isn’t it time to invest in yourself? 😁
Reason #1: Rent continues to increase. It’s sad but true. The cost of rent has increased exponentially and is continuing to rise. In fact, research shows that rent in many markets has grown much faster than median incomes. Yikes! 😫
Believe it or not, the high cost of rent means that paying a monthly mortgage is often comparable to or even cheaper than renting a home. 💰
Reason #2: Roots baby. Owning a home can be an empowering and rewarding milestone in life. The icing on the cake… When you rent a property, you don’t receive any equity for your investment and you don’t have the pride of calling your home your own.
Say goodbye to neutral walls and ugly carpets. When your home belongs to you, you can enjoy making each part of it fit your unique style. 👏👏
Reason #3: Equity Gains! Enough said. Home values have risen and are expected to continue rising in the future, making homeownership a profitable long-term investment. 😉💵
So what do you think?
Is it time to ask your landlord for a divorce? 🤭

FEBRUARY 25 | DOWN PAYMENT MYTHS
Some of the biggest misconceptions I hear as a Realtor are related to down payments. 😵💫
So today I’m your Mythbuster. 😁
Helping you set the record straight by debunking these myths once and for all.💪💪
⛔ Myth #1: You need a 20% down payment.
✔️Reality: Sure it’s ideal if you wanna get off the hook in paying private mortgage insurance also known as PMI. But there are other options, For qualifying buyers, lenders can offer options with 10% or 5% down if you’re willing to pay the monthly PMI cost. 👌
⛔ Myth #2: If you owe a lot of student loan debt, there is no way you can get a mortgage.
✔️Reality: Having a lot of student loan debt doesn’t automatically disqualify you from getting a mortgage. The key factor is not necessarily the size of your loan, but the amount of your total monthly debt payments compared to your monthly income. This is called DTI. 🧑🎓
⛔ Myth #3: If your credit score is low, you should not even try to get a mortgage.
✔️ Reality: Millions of potential buyers assume they will not be approved for a mortgage even though many could qualify on the basis of their credit score. That’s not always the case.
It’s best to discuss your current financial situation with an experienced Lender who can help establish a strategy to repair or strengthen your credit score before applying for a loan. 💸💸 The bottom line? Strategy! 📈📈 Explore your home financing options early, and start building a personal team of experts on your side. 🧔👩🦳👨🙋
Housing agencies, real estate agents, and participating lenders can provide a wealth of knowledge to get you one step closer on your path to owning the house of your dreams.🏠🏠

Let’s talk down payments!
There’s a big myth that you need 20% for a down payment. While this is true for some mortgage loans, it is not true for all! Not all down payments are required to be 20%. Depending on your mortgage program, it can range from 3.5% to 20%

FEBRUARY 27 | Fill your life with experiences, not things
IMO, Life isn’t about collecting random objects to distract you or to fill a void of untapped potential. 😵💫 Instead, it is about the accumulation of our personal experiences…the relationships made and the bonds that are formed. 🧑🤝🧑 Because my dear, Ultimately, it isn’t what we carry with us at the end of life, not that new laptop, bouji car or your closet full of shoes. 🙅♀️🙅♀️
No, it is rather the cherished stories that we tell, the ones which shape and define us, that mold our characters into the best versions of ourselves, this is what gives weight and meaning to this beautiful experience that is life. ☀️☀️
And it’s my wish that you relish every single part of it.
Even the messy parts…Especially the messy parts. 😇
