Hello! It’s been a while since my last blog! I hope this finds you well!
Like virtually every aspect of life, the real estate industry has been affected by the pandemic. We have adapted our practices (sometimes on the daily) to ensure safety and alleviate stress. From virtual home tours and Zoom meetings with clients, to setting up sanitation stations at listed homes, we have made it work!
WHAT HAS SURPRISED ME?
One of the biggest surprises from a work standpoint is that I’m hearing from more and more clients who say, “We need to move!” It seems that when you are quarantined you have MUCH time to think and MUCH time to survey your surroundings.
Things I’ve heard include:
· I NEED a bigger house. We are all on top of one another!
· I NEED to downsize. This home is just too big.
· I’d like something with a dedicated office space because I’m working from home indefinitely.
· I’d like a home with a pool because I need an escape and I don’t know the ongoing status of public pools!
· I need a NEWER home. Even with time on my hands, I can’t tackle the never-ending home projects that my current home demands. I need move-in ready!
· I want a home with a different lot and more privacy.
· I want to be closer to people and move into a neighborhood.
· I want to be in a townhome/condo community that is low maintenance.
· Location isn’t as limiting now that I’m working from home.
· I just need a change in my life!
Your home should be your own personal sanctuary! I want all my clients to love their surroundings. If you find yourself feeling more unsettled, call me! If any of the above statements resonate with you, let’s do something about it! I work with a phenomenal team who is dedicated to making things happen. We will devise a plan and find your dream home!
GREAT NEWS!
The great news is that mortgage rates are at historic lows! According to a June 11 article from Mortgage Daily, “The average lender is now easily able to offer rates under 3.0% for ideal conventional 30 yr fixed scenarios.” The time is right!
If quarantine has got you feeling like you need to move, call me. Inventory is moving quickly. We will do all the heavy lifting. And our first priority is the health and safety of our clients and ourselves!
Have a wonderful week. For those of you whose children recently finished school or graduated, CONGRATS! We made it!!
