Greetings!

As a child my grandfather had a farm in North Alabama. I have memories of stomping through a creek with my family on his property finding frogs, tadpoles, an occasional lizard, and more. It was a magical time of nature discovery. 🌿🐸 Some people call this "creek stomping" and there are local places where you can do that with your kids. Find out more about locations to stomp through creeks in this newsletter.

Would you like to buy a farm, or land perhaps with your own creek? 🚜 Maybe you are ready for a new home, or a move to a different area. Currently we are seeing a mixture of scenarios in our local housing market. In some cases multiple offers are happening on property and homes! 🏡 In others, the seller is more willing to negotiate. This points to opportunity for both home buyers and sellers.

If you are planning on buying or selling a home, or both, you want to have an experienced agent who can help you to navigate the housing market. After a career as an educator, I have spent 8+ years honing my skills as a real estate agent in North Alabama through ever changing market conditions. I know what it takes to help my clients succeed as home buyers or sellers! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you are even remotely considering a move. 📞 If you feel like it will be a while, then time is on your side right now. Call me and I can help you determine ways to use your time wisely prior to a move. If you are ready to go, I can also help you to move quickly! Either way it is always my goal to educate and to help my clients to have confidence in the decisions they make.

The headlines are pointing to the amount of debt that homeowners currently have, but missing from some of those stories is the fact that homeowners have more than double the amount of EQUITY in their homes than debt. 📈 Homeowners overall are in a strong position. Read more about it in this newsletter!

Nearly 40% of potential sellers say they're planning to offer concessions this year – up from 30% in 2025.

That increase means you could see more flexibility on things like sellers covering your closing costs, adjusting the price, or making repairs.

But what’s worth asking for and what’s a long shot will vary depending on where you’re looking. That’s where I can help.

DM me and let's talk about what concessions make sense in our market. Because, for buyers, the right ask could save you thousands.
