LETTERS FROM LANCE I always get a kick out of our marketing department and the themes that they come up with for the Quarterly magazine. This quarter we attack all things pumpkin spice. A little bit of research indicates that Starbucks is basically responsible for the pumpkin spice craze, launching the first one in 2003! It is said that to test the right ratio of pumpkin spice to coffee they would pour espresso shots over pieces of pumpkin pie – that really intrigues me!! This little invention went on to become their most popular seasonal drink of all time.

If you dig further into the psychology of the drink you start to see studies that link that flavor with good core memories of comfortable holiday times.

The leaves are turning, the cozy fires are coming back, and sweater season is upon us. I wish that the real estate market was more like the soothing pumpkin spice, but the truth is we have had a very tumultuous third quarter in real estate. As I am preparing remarks for this issue we have just come off a week of interest rates topping 8% for 30-year mortgages (yikes!).

The number of transactions in the market are down, and the inventory has risen. The good news is that equity and pricing have remained fairly stable. For buyers we really need the inventory numbers to be rising, and those numbers still have room to grow for us to reach a balanced market.

Affordability will be our biggest challenge in the next few years until we see interest rates settle down a bit.

MY TEAM AND I WANT TO BE YOUR COMFORTING PUMPKIN SPICE REALTORS!! I remember buying a house with an interest rate in the early 2000s that was very similar to where the market is today. I have helped buyers work through purchases with higher interest rates and strategies to deal with that. We are working daily on training our agents and staff to help customers thrive in this environment like we have in the past. We have solutions that include rental options, interest rate buy downs, discount points, and many other programs to help buyers and sellers.

Please sit back, enjoy a pumpkin spiced snack and drink, and take in some of this fall real estate information.

Psychologic PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS:

Ready to dip your toe into the home ownership pool for the first, second, or third time? It’s a goal many of us have! There are a myriad of reasons and many psychological factors that affect buyers when purchasing a home. Ultimately it is up to you to determine when, where, and how much. A Realtor® can help the decision process by showing you what homes are selling, and how much you can expect to pay to be in the area you want to be in. That’s the budget equation in buying, but let’s hear from some of our Agents on other psychological factors that go into the decision-making process...

JEREMY ASMUS – FOMO

Ever had a conversation with someone who missed out on something? A sale on an item they wanted? I know I have. The fear of missing out is such an important part of our lives that marketers actually launch products by creating perceived shortages. FOMO is real and can affect your decision making, and it exists in real estate. The two main fears I tend to hear about

are lost equity by not owning, and the future cost of buying if you don’t own yet. These fears are valid and can be very real in a moment of time, like when home prices are increasing at a higher-than-average rate.

But the market changes. If you remember the early 2000’s, we were in a sellers’ market with increasing prices and low interest rates. During the recession of 2008-2009 we swung to the other extreme. Then things took off again, and now we’re back to a slowing down period. The one constant we can count on is change, and that goes for the housing market as well.

If you didn’t own during a spike in equity, does that mean it won’t happen again. Not based on history. The value in owning a home is that it will still increase over time. If you’re looking to buy or sell today, talk to an agent that has their finger on the pulse of the market and can give you a clear picture of where things are currently.

TYSON JONES – FAMILY SITUATIONS

Buying a home is an emotional roller coaster and a big reason is the “family factor.” Sure, if you are a single person and only have your own opinions to

cal factors IN HOME BUYING

consider it may be easier. But more than likely you are still listening to advice from a family member. Maybe parents, grandparents, siblings and/or Uncle Ralph have bought and sold four times in their life and want to throw in their two cents. If you are married, you obviously have some negotiating on likes and dislikes.

There can be a whole list of differences sometimes.

Throw potentially having children into the mix. Are you looking to buy then upgrade when that happens, or figure that in now? If you do have children, are they too young for an opinion or at the age where it starts to matter more? Not having to share a bedroom or bathroom could be important to you. We haven’t even talked about the possibility of having children that share a different parent. Are they at the house full time or do we need to take that into consideration? Also take into account multi-generational living. Now we must consider 2, 3, 4 generations of opinions, wants, and needs. These are just a few things to think about when buying with other family members.

FORREST BOTKIN – CURB APPEAL

When we talk about major psychological factors that

go into picking a property, a common topic to come up is curb appeal. Curb appeal simply stated is the attractiveness of a property and its surroundings when viewed from the street. But there are more appeals to consider, like that feeling you get when you open the door and are presented with the inside of the home. Often if either of these are negative, the home, no matter how perfect for needs, might not score a top spot on your list. On the flip side of that, a clean maintained outer appearance, mowed lawn, weeds pulled, and clear of clutter will give a better feeling of comfort and contentment for a buyer walking up to your house for the first time. Following this up with a clean clutter-free home from the front door helps to give an overall impression of an attractive property that already starts to feel like a potential home. Curb appeal is that first impression feeling that often is what someone is talking about when they say, “That home just felt right.” Or “I can’t put my finger on it, but I just knew it wouldn’t be the home for me.” Don’t underestimate the power of “Curb Appeal” on the decision making of a Buyer when they are looking for a home.

AGENT TYSON JONES Tyson joined the Kenmore Team in April 2019 and has enjoyed every minute of his time here! He loves real estate because he feels that he can really make a difference in the lives of others by sharing his knowledge, along with his passion and desire to help find them their ideal home.

When he has free time, he enjoys spending time with his wife, 3 sons and extended family. He likes to spend time outdoors and playing sports such as playing basketball, biking, paddle boarding/rafting. Tyson and his family are definitely a “foodie” family, and they love having BBQ as much as possible. Continue reading to learn more about Tyson!

Q: How and when did you start in Real Estate?

A: Started in spring 2019-I must give my wife, Krista, some credit on the how. I had been grinding in the restaurant/ hospitality industry for 20 years and had a rough few months(years). One night she asked, “Maybe you should do something else with your skills?’ Don’t you know Lance (Kenmore)? Maybe you should talk to him. So, I did, we made a game plan and here I am.

Q: Why do you think it’s important for a Buyer to be represented by a Realtor® in purchasing a home?

A: Same reason you want a licensed doctor or lawyer.

Q: What advice would you give to first time home buyers?

A: Get a great agent and local lender. Listen to them and

take outside advice with a grain of salt.

like to have on your team and explain why.

Q: What do you enjoy the most about living in the Tri-Cities?

A: Well, the Dad in me says my two sons that play ball, Zach and Keelan. I do want to shout out to my other son, Aunjello. I wouldn’t pick him for a basketball team but for many other things. The fan in me says Michael Jordan and Lebron James (in their prime of course).

A: Great place to raise my family.

Relatively low cost of living. Close to recreation (river, mountains, larger cities, ocean).

Q: What is your dream vacation and why?

A: Europe seems fascinating to visit.

Seeing countries and different cultures like you are driving through states.

Q: What is your favorite part of finding a home for your Buyers?

A: To see their excitement once I find them the right home!

Q: For anyone that knows you in the Kenmore Team office. They know that you’re a big basketball fan. If you were on a team and got to choose 2 other people (players or not), who would you

Q: Having shown many homes over the last couple of years, what’s the most interesting or weird thing you’ve seen in a home? Did your clients buy it?

A: I have seen a lot of “interesting” homes. I work a lot with an investor that flips homes and have seen too many to narrow it down to one…and yes, he tries to buy all of them.

Q: What do think your future holds for you?

A: I absolutely love real estate so going to continue to learn and expand my business. With I am sure a ripple here and there.

Pumpkin AND TENANT ADVICE

As the seasons change, we know it can be a delight to make changes to home and decor. And with Autumn here, it’s time for bold colors and cozy interiors. Our Property Management team put their heads together for a bit of pumpkin spice and tenant advice and how to bring the season into your home in ways that won’t lose you your deposit!

**NATURAL ELEMENTS** Bring in elements from nature like pumpkins, gourds, and fall foliage.

These can be placed strategically to add pops of color and texture.

**TEMPORARY DECORATIONS** Opt for temporary decorations like removable wall decals, window clings, and adhesive hooks. They can add a festive touch without causing any damage.

**SEASONAL ART PRINTS** Swap out existing artwork with autumn-themed prints or posters.

You can use removable adhesive strips for easy installation.

**THROW PILLOWS AND CUSHIONS** Seasonal throw pillows and cushions are an easy way to change the look of a room without making any permanent alterations. Choose pumpkin spicecolored fabrics for a cozy autumn feel.

**DIY WREATHS** Create your own seasonal wreaths using faux foliage or other decorative elements. Hang them on doors or walls to welcome the season.

**RUGS AND MATS** Layering rugs can instantly transform a space. Consider adding a warmtoned rug with autumnal patterns to bring in that seasonal touch. **CANDLES AND CANDLE HOLDERS** Candles in autumn scents like pumpkin spice or apple cinnamon can create a cozy atmosphere. Use flameless options if open flames are not allowed. **FESTIVE TABLE SETTINGS** Seasonal table runners, placemats, and dishes can be an elegant way to incorporate autumn vibes into your living space.

**FAIRY LIGHTS OR STRING LIGHTS** Twinkling lights can create a magical ambiance. Use batteryoperated options to avoid any electrical changes.

**FURNITURE SLIPCOVERS** Consider using slipcovers in autumnal hues to give your furniture a seasonal update. They can easily be removed when the season changes. **FRAGRANCE DIFFUSERS** Use diffusers with autumn-inspired scents to infuse your space with a cozy atmosphere. This is a non-invasive way to add a seasonal touch.

Remember to always check your lease agreement and communicate with your landlord or property manager before making any changes. It's important to ensure that all alterations are reversible and won't result in any damage or loss of your security deposit. Happy decorating!
