These gifts for the home are so great that no one will ever know that they were last minute! 1. A Cozy Throw - Always useful and always appreciated! 2. A Gold Bartender Set - a great accent for any home & such a great "treat item. " 3. Bathtub Caddy - upgrade a friends bathtub experience! 4. Amazon Prime Membership - shopping, movie watching, this is something everyone can use and will love. 5. A flower subscription service for freshly delivered blooms - nothing better than a monthly reminder to someone that they are loved. 6. Donation in someone’s name - Donating to a cause that someone cares about beats another pair of socks any day! We call this a Win-Win!

Real Life Real Estate - with Deb

Let's talk about the most common question we, as real estate agents get these days (aside from 'How's the market?').

"When should I list my Home?" It's almost Christmas, we're getting into snow and freezing temperatures, we should probably wait until spring now, right?

NO! Absolutely positively do not wait. If you're ready to sell now, why hold off? We know what the market is doing RIGHT NOW, and it's still hot. There's still a lack of inventory and homes that are priced and advertised correctly are selling quickly at good prices.

Waiting to sell your home until spring leaves you vulnerable to unknown variables. Interest rates will most likely be higher, and if the majority of home owners are thinking along the same lines as you, guess what will happen? There will be a huge influx of listings. Your home will now be in competition with countless others, your real estate agent's attention will be divided between your home and a handful (or two) of others, buyers will be much more picky (and who can blame them) because they will have now have several options to chose from within their criteria.

The best thing you can do, is to get ahead of the game. In order to beat the crowd you have to think ahead of the crowd. Put up that tree, call your agent to get photos done while you show off your Christmas spirit & decor & get that house on the market while the market's good!
