When discussing the value of a home, you'll hear the terms market value and appraised value – so, what's the difference?⁣

⁣🏠 Market value is the price a buyer is willing to pay for a property, and the appraised value is the professional opinion of an appraiser.⁣

⁣Once your home is under contract, an appraisal will most likely need to be done. Mortgage companies require an appraisal because they need to verify that the home is worth the purchase price.⁣

If you have questions on the current market, don’t hesitate to reach me!

Gosh, this is a tough one! I think that being famous and being best friends with someone who is famous both have their perks. On one hand, fame brings recognition, power, and high quality of life. But many of the perks that come with fame also come with their own downsides, like lack of privacy and a lot of pressure to always be performing.

Being best FRIENDS with someone who’s famous though… You would still get to experience many of these perks, without the immediate negative effects...

What would you pick?! I'd love to know!

You know who to call when it comes to finding the home you love!

As you can see, owning a home comes with many great benefits! It’s important that before you go out and purchase a home, you’re fully aware of those benefits. Owning a home is so much more than just having a place to live!

Did you know? 🧠

The current market is still strong and looking to be similar to how it was last year. Sellers are still experiencing high demand and strong offers. However, we don't want that to scare buyers away! Interest rates are the lowest they have been in a long while, and they are expected to keep rising before the end of the year. Great time to think about locking in a lower rate, in the long run it will be cheaper than waiting to buy later on.

Success isn’t a destination. It isn’t an end-all, be-all goal line that is completed upon reaching. Success is a continual journey that is constantly expanding who we are and what we’re capable of. The more I rise, the more I achieve; the more I see there is to rise up to, the more I aspire to.

I am so grateful for this, because there’s something so rewarding about having to constantly strive for greatness. There is so much to be learned along the way. I am grateful for every valley and every mountain peak of my own journey because they have taught me what I needed to know in their own unique ways. There is always room for improvement.

What are some areas of your life that you have continued to strive to improve on?

Is building a dream home one of your goals? I LOVE helping my clients build a forever home from the ground up. However, it's important to make sure that building your home, rather than buying an existing one, is the right choice for you. 🏠

Here are some questions you should ask yourself:

1. How soon do you need to move into a new home?
--- if you answer is soon, or less than 3-6 months, new construction may not be a great option for you.
2. Do you like to work on home projects, or do it yourself?
--- If your answer is no, a new construction home may be a good fit. With everything brand new, all of your customizations chosen, and a home warranty, you won't need to do any fixing up in a while.
3. Are you looking for something perfect?
--- If your answer is yes, a new construction home may be a good option. You'd be able to build something that fits your needs and desires. Plus, if you can find land in your desired location, your dream home awaits!

For all this information and more feel free to reach me with any questions! 👍

What do you think of this estate listed in Springfield, MO! 😱

Interest Rate Projections 🤯

The longer you wait to purchase a home, the higher interest rates will get. It's predicted to get close to 4% by the end of 2022. Now, 4% is still not a bad rate, but if you can get a lower it's worth it! Put your money to good use. With home appreciation and equity still on the rise, the housing market is going strong.

Here's what NOT to do when it comes to home buying and selling‼️

Trust your Realtor®️ when they tell you a pre-approval is necessary. With todays current market you want to be armed and ready as a buyer so you can offer quickly and WIN! It's important when your pre-approved to not make any big purchases or open new lines of credit. If you aren't sure what you can and can't do, ask your lender first.

When it comes to FSBO's, you're bound to get more exposure, protection, and overall value by worming with an agent. Curious why? Give me a call!

Homeownership 101

When you own a home you have more benefits than anyone who rents. It's a smart financial move, provides a sense of pride, and freedom. "Homeowners have a net worth that is more than 40 times greater than their renter counterparts..." (source: Forbes) I'd love to discuss these benefits...
