5 Reasons to Sell Your House This Holiday Season This holiday season may be the perfect time to sell your house. Let's connect to discuss how today's buyer demand is presenting the greatest opportunities for sellers. #spinellagroup #yourrealestateguy #yourrealestateteam #interorealestate #siliconvalley #siliconvalleyhomes #thebayarea #thebayareahomes #homefortheholidays #sellyourhouse #winterrealestate

This year, rather than delaying their home purchases, buyers alongside their trusted real estate professionals turned to the Internet to do more than just a typical home search. In some cases, they bought homes without even stepping foot inside. Jessica Lautz, Vice President of Demographics and Behavioral Insights at the National Association of Realtors (NAR), says, People really didn’t buy houses sight-unseen, traditionally. It’s still not a huge number, but it has gone... up, and we have definitely seen that trend accelerate. According to NAR, throughout the coronavirus pandemic, one in every 20 homebuyers purchased a house sight-unseen. Today, real estate professionals are using digital practices to help homebuyers and sellers walk through many steps in the process virtually. While following the regulations set forth by the CDC and all local guidelines, this year, agents quickly empowered buyers and sellers with virtual tours, 3D floor plans, high-quality photos, videos, online open houses, and more. For those who had homebuying and selling needs in 2020, trusted advisors made it possible in many markets. At a time when health and safety are top priorities, current technology is making it possible for buyers and sellers to move their real estate plans forward at their own comfort levels, even through a worldwide pandemic. For many, this means buyers no longer have to physically tour every home they want to see, and sellers don’t need to open their doors over and over again throughout the process. Safety can come first, and trusted real estate professionals are here to help. If you’re ready to make a move, you may not have to press pause on your plans this season. DM me to determine the safe and effective options to buy or sell a home in our area or wherever you’re looking to move. #spinellagroup #yourrealestateguy #yourrealestateteam #interorealestate #siliconvalley #siliconvalleyhomes #thebayarea #thebayareahomes #realestate #homeownership #homebuying #realestategoals #realestatetips #realestatelife #realestatenews #realestateagent #realestateexpert

With Home Values Surging, Is it Still Affordable to Buy Right Now?

Homeownership is on the goal list for many young adults, but sometimes it’s hard to know exactly how to get there. From understanding the homebuying process to pre-approval and down payment assistance options, uncertainty along the way can ultimately hold some buyers back. Today, there are over 75 million Millennials and 67 million Gen Z’ers in the U.S., making up a significant number of both current and soon-to-be homebuyers. According to a recent Fannie Mae survey of more t...han 2,000 of these individuals, 88% said they are confident they will achieve homeownership someday. Whether homeownership goals come from the heart or are driven by financial aspirations (or maybe both), the obstacles standing in the way don’t have to bring these dreams to a screeching halt. The same survey also reveals two key roadblocks for potential buyers. Thankfully, they’re both easily overcome with the power of knowledge and trusted advisors leading the way. Here’s a look at these two challenges potential homebuyers face today: 1. 73% of future homebuyers are unaware of low-down payment mortgage options For those who want to purchase a home, low-down payment options are instrumental to affording one sooner rather than later, especially given the amount of debt many younger adults have accumulated. 2. 64% of buyers expect lenders and other real estate professionals to educate them about the mortgage process While many people love to do a quick search online to find instant answers to their questions, it isn’t the only way younger generations want to consume information or build their knowledge base. As the survey mentions, having trusted professionals help them learn what it takes to achieve their dreams is definitely on their wish list too. If you’re aiming for homeownership someday, it may be in closer reach than you think. DM me to learn about the process and get the guidance you need to make it happen. #spinellagroup #yourrealestateguy #yourrealestateteam #interorealestate #siliconvalley #siliconvalleyhomes #thebayarea #thebayareahomes #firsttimehomebuyer #opportunity #housingmarket #househunting
