Should you wait to make an offer when a new listing hits the market in Northern Idaho? Heck no!

One of the reasons we say that is because a lot of times when a home is priced right and it’s a good deal on the market, it’s not on there very long. If your offer isn’t in with the first few, it’s brushed under the table and you won’t get a chance at the home.

That being said, you should still use caution when putting an offer on a home, because it’s a big life investment. You should know the maximum amount you’re willing to spend beforehand. Also know that you’ll do a home inspection to make sure the purchase is a good deal for you. You just want to get your offer in as soon as possible.

It’s important to know your market, and that’s what we’re here to help with. We can tell you if something is a good deal or if it doesn’t fit your needs. If we can help you with any questions, reach out with a call, text or email. We look forward to working with you!

The active market has created some excitement in the first quarter in Northern Idaho’s real estate market that you might be interested in.

As a real estate community, we’ve sold 1,116 properties in the first quarter, which is a full 7% higher than last year. We’re expected to sell more than 5,000 properties this year. The banks are still lending, and the interest rates are still incredible. For that reason, it’s a healthy time to both buy and sell.

It’s not just a buyer’s market or a seller’s market – we’re calling it an active market. We’re expecting our second quarter to be very strong, and the second quarter is always the biggest of any year.

If you’re interested in finding out what your house can sell for in this prime selling season, give me a call or send me an email. If you’re interested in buying, give us a call or send us an email, too. We look forward to helping you!

What Does The Condo Market Look Like?

Today, we’re going to discuss our sizzling hot condo market in Northern Idaho! Why is this market doing so well right now? Here’s why.

• They’re actually selling. Consumers purchase and eagerly move into condos. Instead of renting, they’re committing to a different kind of residential lifestyle.

• Baby boomers are downsizing. People want to invest in other things, like travel, compared to a brand new home. Plus, condos can be secure for long trips.

• Banks are finally lending. Homeowner associations are improving. We have properties priced up to $1 million, so buyers are able to work with lenders better now compared to the past.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in the surrounding area, contact me by phone or email. I’d be delighted to help answer your questions and serve your real estate needs! What Does The Condo Market Look Like? It looks like its time to sell!

Whether you’re buying or selling a home, we are always looking at market trends — what homes are being sold and what homes are failing to sell. We are working constantly behind the scenes in order to help you get the real estate results you desire.

We prospect every day. We call buyers and sellers constantly to see if we can find the perfect match for you. If you’re a seller, I’m calling buyers to tell them about your property and to see if there is anyone looking for a place like yours. If you’re buying, I call sellers to see if there is anyone selling a home that fits your wants and needs.

We also talk to a lot of other agents. We do something called brokers’ opens, which allows us to see a lot of different homes very quickly. During these opens, we talk to other agents to see what homes they have coming onto the market and to promote our own listings to them. It’s a great exchange of information among professionals in the field, and it all benefits you, the client!

We also spend our money on marketing. Before we get paid, we are putting our time and money on the line to get our clients’ homes bought or sold. We have professional stagers and photographers we employ for your benefit, all before getting paid!

We help the transaction go through as smooth as possible. There are a lot of potential road bumps that could derail a transaction, but we have the experience and the strategies to ensure a successful closing.

If you have any questions about the other things we do behind the scenes to ensure the process is as stress-free as possible, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We would love to help you soon!
