A SUMMARY FOR SELLERS: Even though the market still favors sellers, setting the right price for your listing is crucial. While home values continue to rise in many areas, the rate of increase is slowing due to higher mortgage rates dampening buyer demand. At the same time, the number of homes for sale is increasing, giving buyers more choices, and making it essential for your property to be competitively priced. This means that determining the right asking price is more critical than it has been in recent years. To avoid pricing errors that will deter potential buyers and prolong your sale, it’s important to work with a skilled agent who will leverage their expertise and market data to set a price that reflects current conditions so that your home sells quickly.

A SUMMARY FOR BUYERS: If you're ready to make a purchase, you might find that the latter half of 2024 offers a smoother experience. While challenges remain, many of the major obstacles you’ve faced are improving over time. Alternatively, you could wait. However, this comes with its own risks. As more buyers become aware of the market shift, competition could increase. Additionally, if mortgage rates decrease as predicted, more buyers may enter the market. Acting now allows you to capitalize on current conditions and stay ahead of the competition.

Congratulations are in order! My friends and clients just contracted to sell their adorable home in Spartanburg, SC, thanks to my great friend and referral partner in crime, Lee Dunn. We are so thrilled for this sweet couple! Real estate is 100% about relationships, and I am so grateful for Lee Ann. She is a Rockstar! As a bit of side note, Allison and Lee met ten years ago in Greenville, SC while she was visiting. What a blessing!
