When is the best time of year to buy a home?
The best time really depends on your personal circumstances and whether you’re ready to buy. Spring and summer are popular because more homes are listed, providing a larger selection. However, these months can also bring more competition and higher prices. Fall and winter, on the other hand, often offer fewer listings, but buyers face less competition, which can lead to better deals.

Why is staging so important in today’s real estate market?
Buyers start their search online, and first impressions happen in seconds. A well-staged home photographs beautifully, grabs attention, and stands out in a crowded market. Without staging, a listing might not make it past the scrolling phase. In-person, staging creates that “wow” factor the moment buyers walk through the door, making the home feel more inviting and move-in ready. Statistics show that staged homes sell 73% faster on average than non-staged homes. Additionally, buyers are willing to pay up to 5-10% more for a home that feels well-presented and move-in ready. Make sure the agent you choose offers staging services - It’s an investment that pays off in both time and price.
