HOME MATTERS & MORE

August 2023

There are plenty of festivals, waterpark days, and other activates before the leaves change. Farmers markets are starting to get their fresh fall produce in, take the opportunity to check it out! The days are still long and the weather is hopefully cooling down, so it's a great time to spend outside.


It's also a great time to make those improvements to your home or sell it before the seasons change! 


Find your dream home with the Glover team and watch the seasons change from the comfort of your new home!


This unique market is best navigated with a knowledgeable real estate expert. Reach out today to discuss your real estate questions and goals!

Is a 1031 Exchange the Right Move for You?

A 1031 exchange is a tax provision that allows you to defer paying capital gains taxes on the sale of an investment property if you reinvest the proceeds in another investment property of equal or greater value. This can be a valuable tool for real estate investors who want to grow their portfolio without having to pay a large tax bill.

Today's Housing Inventory is

a Sweet Spot for Sellers



One of the biggest challenges in the housing market right now is how few homes there are for sale compared to the number of people who want to buy them. To help emphasize just how limited housing inventory still is, let’s take a look at the latest information on active listings, or homes for sale in a given month, as it compares to more normal levels.


According to a recent report from Realtor.com: 



“On average, active inventory in June was 50.6% below pre-pandemic 2017–2019 levels.”
