I didn't bother including the average sales prices this month; they told us squat. What was interesting was the length of time on the market between last year and this year... 🤔 . . November 2018 had 8 closings including 1 of the 4 condos in Hidden Springs. The condos tend to take foreverrrr to sell, so that was definitely an outlier last year. With the exception of the condo, the other 7 homes were on the market an average of 34 days. 😎 . . Last month we had 4 closings, 3 of which were on the market 5 months or more. 5 months! Needless to say, these three were priced too high. Getting 92% of your asking price doesn't sound that bad, but one house was originally listed at $749,000 ended up selling for $672,000, a $77,000 drop! The story would have been different (and probably in the seller's favor) if those homes were priced fair to begin with.😕 . . Sales last month tell us two things: 1) Hard to Sell homes are more likely to sell in winter when inventory is low. Even overpriced ones get more attention in the winter, though they usually still get low offers. 2) The Importance of the Initial List Price. What some sellers don't realize is that listing a home at an unsubstantiated price (e.g., not supported by comps) does not usually garner a higher sales price, only longer time on the market, which could actually garner a LOWER sales price. 😳 There are many reasons not to overprice your home, and I've written a blog with fun examples!

This afternoon the universe gave me a gift of both boys being down at the same time, and I was able to prepare a real dinner. I was going for a rainbow theme with the veggies, but forgot the eggplant. Next time, any suggestions on a blue veggie?? . . #eatyourvegetables #dinner #momlife #eattherainbow

Judge me not for my Trader Joe’s Thanksgiving dinner. Between the 3.5 month old and 3.5 year old, I hope to have enough time to prepare those Brussels sprouts, and that is the extent of my expectations today! 😆 . . Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! If you have extended family entertaining your little ones this holiday, cheers to you! 🥳 If not, you’re not alone, and I hope you’ve made things easy on yourself. 🙂 . . #traderjoes #thanksgivingdinner #boisemoms #momlife #momoftwo #boymom #everydayisthesame #4monthsleepregression

Our first gingerbread house, and “sprinkles are my favorite.” One may notice the upside-down pineapple above the door... 😆 . . #hiddenspringsidaho #hiddenswings #embracetherumors #gingerbreadhouse #boisemoms #traderjoes

I'd have both, but the acid... 😆 #weekendproblems #saturdaymorning #sundaymorning #whynoteverymorning #boisemoms #momlife

When it comes time to interview real estate agents, make sure you know that you're getting the kind of service you want. Some buyers and sellers love working with a team, but many liken it to having “too many cooks in the kitchen." You may find yourself asking; Am I supposed to call the assistant for this question? What is a transaction coordinator, and when am I supposed to contact them? Is it okay if I call my agent directly, or am I jumping the chain of command? When you hire me as your agent, you never have to wonder; you talk with me and only me! . .
