Let's Get REal

You are building equity faster than you think!

Here's how it happened.

Home values are on the rise thanks to low housing supply and high buyer demand.

Basically, there aren't enough homes available to meet this high buyer interest, so bidding wars are driving home prices up.

When you own a home, the rising prices mean your home is worth more in today's market.

And as home values climb, your equity does too.

It’s important to know what your home is worth to understand your equity position.

Home Valuation

What does the market look like today?

Here's a glance at the last seven days. This is raw data. You are seeing exactly what I see when I open my computer.

Our homes sales are out pacing our listings, leaving us with less than one month of inventory on the market and a great deal of home buyers searching for a home.

This doesn't mean that there are no homes to buy but there are important things to remember no matter what side of the fence you are on.

Home Buyers - You need a plan. A well developed, easily executed plan to find a home. You deserve that.

Home Sellers - You need to get an updated value on your home, ESPECIALLY if you have been thinking of selling.

REal Podcast : March Break & Real Estate

Paul, Frank and Steve begin the show by conversing about the sale and rental prices (1:20), mortgage brokers giving advice to politicians (3:11), increases in mortgage rates (5:49), and how increases in mortgage rates are impacting buyers (9:15).

After the break, a listener phones in to ask how first-time homebuyers can navigate the real estate market (11:00) and the guys talk about the difficulty of baby boomers moving out (18:01).

To end the show, the gang discusses curb appeal during the springtime (34:16), why the media aren’t talking about the increase in rates (37:54), and if you need a new pre-approval for when you got one in the fall (40:59).
