It’s an Unprecedented Sellers’ Market

It’s an Unprecedented Sellers’ Market I received an email this morning with an article about how sellers are ‘finally feeling comfortable selling again.’ I almost wrote back and asked what planet the sender was on!

If you don’t own your home (meaning outright or carrying a mortgage), the median sales price should be a wake-up call! Where else can you invest your money and garner a 13+% increase in value in 12 months - not years, MONTHS - ONE YEAR! That is … Continue reading...

Why talk of a housing bubble is blowing up Talk of a housing bubble is beginning to crop up as home prices continue to appreciate at a rapid pace this year. Well, not so fast!

That number is expected to more than double by 2050 with approximately 20% of the population being 65 and over then. At my age, that is staggering/sobering statistic! Prior to the 2020 pandemic, most … Continue reading...
