What happens each time Interest Rates fall by 1% ???

According to Nation Association of Realtors, 8 Million homebuyers are added to the market and we know JUST what this feels like.

In today's episode we break down what it could look like to hold your current home as a Rental Property and purchase your next home with your current equity. We then discuss how sudden a Buying frenzy can strike and the implications therein.

Thanks for watching another episode of...

Your Two Favorite Realtors... on the internet!

On this week’s episode, Your Two Favorite Realtors (on the internet) break down the market as it has progressed since August, including a massive increase in the Avg Purchase Price here in the Triangle since February of this year. 

Sprinkle in a discussion about Raleigh rentals, rising and falling interest rates and the common enemy of all Buyers from every financial position and that’s what we tackle today!

As always, let us know if we can help you answer any of your questions or help you untangle any of your real estate needs!

That’s right! Gen Z adults (ages 18-25) are living at home with family in droves and Millennials are right behind them. Raleigh tops the charts for Zoomers at home:
* 87% of Gen Z Adults in Raleigh are living with at least one family member *
That’s 155k people and 58% of them have plans to move out on their own in the next 12 months. That’s roughly 90k people that will need housing this coming year and we unpack the challenges they face as they compete against out-of-state home buyers and deal with elevated living expenses.

Also, Raleigh falls 3 spots, down to #9 for overall Real Estate prospects in 2024. This is according to the 2024 Emerging Trends in Real Estate report produced by the Urban Land Institute. We break down why we think this story is likely connected to the N&O article, as we observe the MACRO elements to our Triangle market.

These cats and kittens had one too many coffees...but never fear - the value packed into a single episode for anyone thinking of buying, anyone thinking of postponing purchase plans due to interest rates, or anyone simply trying to wrap their head around this real estate market…this is a must listen for you!
What’s the difference in the amount you can get for your home if it sits on the market for 0-10 days, 10-20 days, and 30+ days?
Hint: It’s HUGE. Pricing strategy is KEY and having an agent who listens to the market using real time data, not just past closings, is a game changer.

300% Appreciation?!

Once again, real estate proves to be one of the best investments on earth! Nationally, homes appreciated 9-10% on avg every year for the past 32 years… that includes some epically low years like ‘08!
With so much equity in your home, make sure you spend it wisely!
Ever considered the downsides of selling in a seller’s market? 🤔
Sellers Market ➡️ sell your home for more…but then buy for more 💸
Buyers Market ➡️ sell your home for less…but then buy for even less! 🙌
Where you win on one side of the transaction, you almost always lose on the other. Our advice? Don’t try to time the market!
Bottom line - make a move when it’s right for your family to move. And remember…the perfect market doesn’t exist!

Your Two Favorite Realtors are BACK and ready to answer the questions we get almost every day: Should I sell now, or wait until next spring? Should I buy now, or wait for lower interest rates?
There will be factors working against you in any market. Waiting to buy in another market may mean you’re spending 50K over list price on a home, competing with tons of other buyers, not getting any repairs covered by the sellers, and the list goes on. While yes, your interest rate may be lower, how does the math really shake out?
If you wait to sell in a market where economic downturn has led to lower interest rates, you may be selling in a time where buyers are hurting economically. 
No matter when you buy or sell, there will be things working for you and things working against you. Moving when it makes sense for you and your family to move is key, and as we always remind you…”the best time to buy a home was yesterday.” 
So, don’t wait just because the market doesn’t look perfect! It won’t be perfect later, either. 
We are here to help you through these tough questions, always!

When there’s an appraisal issue, it’s an ISSUE 😖 Understanding what goes into the appraised value of a home could be a game changer to how you approach buying and selling real estate. More importantly, an excellent agent by your side who understands the ins and outs of home appraisals and how to deal with issues if they arise is KEY 🔑
And yes you heard us right… Sell your home for MORE than any time in HISTORY 🤯 and use your equity to mitigate the pain felt by painfully high Interest Rates! Don’t get the math wrong… call a trusted Realtor instead! ☎️

HOW TO SET YOUR LIST PRICE when selling your home! 

We all know you can overprice your home…but the question is, can you underprice it? 🤔
