Monday Morning Update

This is no April Fools joke-  houses are moving FAST in the Philadelphia region. Last week I had multiple offers on a home I listed on Monday!
If you are in the market- buying, selling or investing- it's a great time to start getting serious. A home you see online today may not be available tomorrow. Inventory is low in a lot of areas, resulting in good properties going under contract quickly.

If you are wanting to buy a home, you need to have some documents in place before you can even submit an offer; most importantly- your mortgage pre-approval letter. Sellers and Realtors want to know that the buyer submitting an offer to purchase their home 1. has the money to do so 2. has already started the process with a bank. This makes your offer so much stronger than competitors.

If you are looking to sell your home, get your home ready now! Declutter, clean, plant flowers, etc. Once you hire your Realtor, they can get your home on the market fast, so have your property ready.

A lot of people have general questions about the market and the buying/ selling process.  It can be complicated and stressful to enter the real estate market, so I'm never too busy to help answer those questions.
I've had quite a few people in the "move up" phase- they want to sell their current home to move into a larger home or more desirable area. They bought years ago and in the meantime the market and mortgage process has changed. This may also be the first time they have sold a home, so they have numerous questions and concerns about that process. Part of what I love about my job is answering those questions and being a resource for them. Feel free to contact me today!
