Mercedes Van Pelt Real Estate

Rents for apartments rose 1.3% in April, the fastest pace for a single month in about a decade......after large declines in 2020. Rents for single-family homes jumped 4.3% in March from a year ago. Starting in June 2020, rent growth for detached properties accelerated and by March, grew at 5X the rent growth rate of attached properties....buying now and locking into a low financing rate may be a good hedge against the inflationary pressures on rents....(CNBC)

They could be my babies!!!

Inventory is 42.6% lower than is was at this time last year! This is what's happening in the housing market: ... homes are being listed for sale, but not at a rate that can keep up with heavy demand from competitive buyers Does this mean houses aren't being put on the market for sale Not exactly. While there are fewer exiting HOMES being listed RIGHT NOW, many homes are simply SELLING FASTER than they're being counted as current inventory. The market is that competitive! It’s like when everyone was trying to find toilet paper to buy last spring and it was flying off the shelves faster than it could be stocked in the stores. "Time on the market was 10 days faster than last year meaning that buyers still have to make decisions quickly in order to be successful." Today’s housing market is a big win for sellers, but these conditions won’t last forever. If you’re in a position to sell your house now, you may not want to wait for your neighbors to do the same. Let’s connect to discuss how to sell your house safely so you’re able to benefit from today’s high demand and low inventory.

Savings in any form is a good thing The forced savings you can earn from making a mortgage payment enables you to build wealth through home equity. How can equity help a household? ... Having equity in your home can dramatically impact your life. Equity is like a savings account you can tap into when you need cash. Like any other savings, you should be sensible in how you use it, though. Here are 3 good reasons to consider using your equity. You're experiencing financial hardship (job loss, medical expenses, etc.) You need money to start a new business. You want to invest in a loved one's future. 52% of Americans who bought their first home in 2020 said they got help with their down payment from friends or family. The number one lender? Their parents. It’s safe to assume a percentage of that down payment money likely came from home equity. EQUITY can come in handy in both good and more challenging times.

REVIEW to start the New Year! We were blessed and fortunate to hire Mercedes Van Pelt for our recent sale in Long Beach providing us the opportunity to move mortgage free to Palm Springs! My wife and I were introduced to Mercedes 6 years prior by our previous realtor for our purchase in Long Beach and we couldn’t have been happier with her. Fast forward to 2020 and we instantly hired Mercedes once again as we consider her not only as a great realtor, also as a ...friend! First, she was very responsive and provided her professional guidance every step of the way. She listed our condo preparing us to what to expect with listings during the pandemic. The listing looked great and we got plenty of interest based on her experience and marketing skills. Like 2020 has been a year like no other, the sale of our condo didn’t go as desired, to no fault of Mercedes whatsoever.We had two separate buyers, the first which ended up defaulting, breaking our contract and Mercedes, with her due diligence and professionalism was on top of every issue that came up working proactively to solve them as they came. While in escrow, during the final days after completing our walk through, with only the buyer having to sign loan documents, the buyer pulled out!To show the example of Mercedes’s tenacity, during this unfortunate period, she reached out to the buyer’s agent for constant updates, she contacted our listing agent in Palm Springs keeping her in the loop and even contacted the listing agent in Palm Springs to explain what had happened, asking for patience with our sale. She even reached out to the listing agent to vouching for us as her clients! Who does that?! Mercedes does! In the end, we had to re-list our condo, got a second buyer and this time, the escrow went much smoother, selling our condo enabling us to move to Palm Springs! Mercedes is a professional through and true treating her clients as if you were her family! We know we would recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced professional who knows her craft in and out. Blessed and Thankful for all who I served in 2020! Looking for forward to 2021 and helping more families like Scott & Elena. Happy First Monday of the New Year! Mercedes VanPelt .
