PURCHASING WITH A REFINANCE

Are you a buyer that believes mortgage interest rates will be lower by year end 2024 or by year end 2025?

Should your focus be on the lowest possible rate right now or protecting cash for the reduction of the future lowest refinance rate?

Have you considered the cost of the refinance?

Choosing the right mortgage lender does matter.

• Close with me and your payments can be made to Guild Mortgage, meaning we “service” your loan, it is not sold into the market unless you want it sold.

• If we service your loan, I will waive $1600 in lender fees on your refinance until December 31, 2025; if you close on your purchase before July 1st

• If you have an escrow account on that serviced loan, we will transfer that account balance from loan to loan, protecting the outstanding balance and your cash by thousands of dollars.

Q & A with Oksana Bogott

As we kick off 2024, what are some of your goals for the new year?

As I embark on the exciting journey of 2024, I find myself filled with enthusiasm and a strategic vision for the year ahead. In the world of real estate, my foremost objective is to continue my path as a top realtor at Coldwell Banker in the vibrant Houston area. Building on the successes of the past, I am determined to set new benchmarks and elevate the standard of excellence in the industry.

One of my primary goals for 2024 is to further increase my expertise and market knowledge. Real estate is a dynamic field and it is important to stay ahead of trends, investment opportunities, and rising neighborhoods. To attain this, I plan to devote time to continuing education and networking within the Houston real estate community. By staying welleducated, I seek to offer my clients insightful advice and ensure their real estate deals and trades are not only successful but also wellaligned with the growing market trends.

Besides increasing my knowledge base about new real estate trends, I am dedicated to using the latest technology to improve my client’s experience and make things smoother. Digital tools play a significant role in real estate trades in the new era. That is why my goal is to use new technologies and tools that accelerate smooth communication, personalized approach to client engagement, and effective property searches. It will not just enhance my service contributions but also add to the reputation of Coldwell Banker as a leader in adopting technological advancements.

Moreover, being a part of our community is important for me and it is the center of my approach. I desire to extend my connections with the Houston community by actively participating in local events, supporting charitable initiatives, and contributing to the overall betterment of the neighborhoods I serve. By being an integral part of the community, I believe I can foster stronger connections and trust with my clients.

Eventually, my key goal for 2024 is to exceed expectations and deliver extraordinary results, and satisfaction for both myself and my clients. Whether it is guaranteeing smooth transactions or achieving unparalleled sales, I am committed to sustaining Coldwell Banker’s

promise to excellence and leaving a lasting mark on the Houston real estate industry. As the new year unfolds, I am excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and the opportunity to make a lasting impact in the world of real estate.

Where do you see the market trending in 2024?

As we step into 2024, we see the Houston housing market has both opportunities and challenges for sellers and buyers. As per the November 2023 Market Update from the Houston Association of Realtors and insights from Zillow, the Houston housing market is trending towards a buyer-friendly environment.

When it comes to single-family home sales in the Houston area, there is a 4.9% increase in sales, marking the first rise since March 2022. However, the 1-year market projection indicates a 2 percent decrease in sales, showing a prospective adjustment period. It is important to note that homes priced between $250,000 and $500,000, the largest segment at 59.8%, experienced an 8.0% year-over-year increase, showcasing strength in this price range.

Zillow’s analysis aligns with a buyer-centric trend, revealing a median sale to list ratio of 0.986 and 60.7% of sales under list price. Average home values have decreased by 1.1% over the past year, contributing to a median sale price of $319,333 and a median list price of $355,283. This suggests room for negotiation, presenting opportunities for buyers.

With an inventory of 23,047 homes for sale and 6,010 new listings as of November 30, 2023, the market offers a diverse selection for buyers. The brisk pace of transactions, indicated by around 25 days to pending, reflects sustained buyer interest.

In 2024, my strategy as a top realtor at Coldwell Banker involves staying attuned to these trends, providing clients with insightful guidance, and capitalizing on the opportunities within this evolving market. The Houston housing market, while experiencing adjustments, holds promise for those navigating it strategically, and I am excited to guide my clients through this dynamic landscape.

If somebody is looking to buy a home throughout the greater Houston area, what neighborhoods should they be looking in?

For potential homebuyers looking for real estate in the Greater Houston area, several neighborhoods stand out as vivid and coveted communities. One ideal location is The Woodlands, which is a master-planned community known for its scenic surroundings, top-notch amenities, and a diverse range of housing options. From prestigious properties to more modest family homes, The Woodlands offers a variety of favorites, making it an attractive destination for those seeking a combination of modern conveniences and tranquility.

Another area that has been getting attention is Conroe. Located just north of Houston, Conroe has emerged as a top choice for families and individuals looking for a balance between a suburban lifestyle and proximity to the city. The Conroe area provides a blend of new developments and established neighborhoods, offering a range of housing styles and sizes. The appeal of Conroe lies not only in its real estate offerings but also in its robust community spirit and access to Lake Conroe, offering recreational opportunities for water lovers. When advising my clients, I used to focus on the diversity of the Greater Houston area. For those with an affinity for urban living, neighborhoods within the city itself, such as Montrose or the Heights, offer unique character, cultural attractions, and a vibrant lifestyle. On the other hand, Katy and Sugar Land appeal to those desiring a suburban setting with excellent schools and family-friendly amenities.

As a top realtor at Coldwell Banker, I recognize the importance of lining up a homebuyer’s choices with the unique features of each neighborhood. Whether it’s tranquil suburbs, master-planned communities, or pockets of urban charm, the Greater Houston area provides a wide range of options. My role is not just to assist a real estate transaction but to guide my clients toward the neighborhood that truly feels like home. In 2024, these diverse neighborhoods, including The Woodlands and Conroe, offer exciting opportunities for individuals and families to find their perfect place in the thriving tapestry of Houston real estate.
