This episode of All Things Home was in response to an email I received recently from one of my favorite past clients. She sent me a list of some home updates & improvements she was getting ready to do, asked for contractor recommendations (which I gladly passed along), and then asked about the impact of these projects on the value of her home.

So I decided to record this episode to address this common question: How do the various home improvement projects impact the value of my home?

In this episode of All Things Home, we’re unpacking one of the most complex scenarios our clients face: figuring out how to buy your new home BEFORE you sell the home you already have. 

In today’s economic client, more of our clients than ever are slowly and patiently shopping for their dream home, thanks to limited options on the market. Every client’s worst nightmare is to sell their current home, and then not be able to find what they want to buy and being stuck with nowhere to live! 

This is complicated by the fact that homebuying in the Baltimore Metro remains extremely competitive - and it’s tough to be the winning buyer in a bidding war if you include a contingency in your offer that your current home must be sold as part of the deal. 

We’ve brought in our go-to mortgage professional, Danny Reedy with Alcova Mortgage, to share the top 5 tactics we use to help you buy your dream home FIRST - on your terms, on your timeline - and waiting to sell your current home until you dream home is 100% secured! 

We’ll talk you through methods for qualifying for both mortgages at the same time, turning your current home into a rental, securing a 3rd party “guaranteed offer” on your current home to remove the need for a home sale contingency, a little-known practice called recasting your mortgage (it’s like a refi, but better!), and using home equity lines of credit (you’ll hear us say HELOC a lot) to make things smooth and on your terms. 

As you listen to this episode you’ll hear that there are quite a few options that will most likely apply to you, and sorting out which one is best is best figured out in close conjunction with a lender and our team.

This episode of All Things Home was inspired by a question from a past TBG client. She was wondering why her tax assessment is different from her neighbor’s, even though their homes are just about the same size. In this episode, we unpack:

Did you know 1 in 3 Maryland homes were recently reassessed for property taxes? Thanks to skyrocketing home values since 2020 (yay!), tax bills have also increased significantly (boo). 

I shared a PSA about this on Instagram recently, and the response was overwhelming! So, I knew this topic deserved to be the very first episode of All Things Home, because this podcast is all about sharing timely, valuable information with our TBG community.
