There’s an old adage in real estate that says you should wait until it’s time to plant spring flowers before listing a home on the market. This week’s Frequently Asked Friday is kicking that tired way of thinking straight to the curb. Q: Is now a good time to sell? A: YES! Here’s the deal. The best time to list your home was yesterday...the next best time? Today or as soon as we can get the paperwork together! ... Here’s why: Inventory is limited Demand is strong Interest rates are at historic lows All of this means there’s no need to wait. If you’re thinking about selling your home, go ahead and list it! Want even more good news? In the current market, it’s reasonable to expect it to sell quickly and for asking price, possibly above. Plus, if you price it right, you’re likely to receive multiple offers! If you know someone who’s waiting until summer to list their home, tell them NOW is the time. And if they have questions or need help, I'd be thrilled if you send ‘em my way! See more

Looking at those worn-out winter walls and wondering what a fresh coat of paint might do for them this spring? If so, here are the shades coming soon to a wall near you: Jewel tones: Think sapphire blue, ruby red, amethyst purple, and citrine yellow. Greens aplenty: Seafoam green, leafy green, emerald green. More time at home means homeowners are doing whatever they can to bring the outdoors in. ... Natural, earth tones: Want an example? Check out Sherwin Williams' 2021 Color of the Year: Urbane Bronze SW 7048. Blush: The soft pink hue isn’t going anywhere anytime soon do expect to see it used often this year as a neutral. Chalky white: Stark whites are out and soft whites with warmer undertones are in. Look for it in matte or textured finishes Paint is one of the easiest, cheapest, and quickest ways to totally transform the look and feel of a space. Don’t be afraid to throw on those old jeans, grab a brush, and go bold with on-trend colors this spring. See more

So you’ve decided to invest in real estate! Fist bump (air fist bump, that is)! The next question you’ll need to answer is the type of real estate you want to pursue. As a new investor, you’ve got three main options: residential, commercial, and land. Residential includes single family rentals, vacation rentals, small multi-family properties, and fix-and-flip homes.... Commercial includes retail and office space, industrial warehouses (huge right now!), and large multi-family properties. Land includes investing in land for commercial, residential, or farming. With real estate investing, there are more options than there are time and money to pursue. Start small, stay steady, and seek advice from more seasoned investors. Got questions? Send ‘em my way! I’d love to help. #Buntinandassociates #Sellingsoil #Coldwellbanker

You know your house is a wonderful place to call home, but buyers may need a little more convincing even in this crazy market. Give them the reassurance they need with this week’s Frequently Asked Friday. Q: Should sellers offer a home warranty? A: The short answer: Yes. ... Here’s why: A home warranty protects your buyer from unexpected repairs and replacements for a year after closing. Buying a home can be stressful so any added layer of protection you can provide will always be warmly received. The average price of a home warranty is around $400 - $500 for a years coverage. If a couple of hundred bucks is all it takes to secure the sale, it’s a completely worthwhile investment. Most home warranties include coverage while your home is on the market. The warranty is then transferred to the buyer for a year of coverage on the closing date. It's really a no-brainer! Think about selling? I’d love to provide you a FREE market analysis of your home’s current value. Drop me a message and let’s get started. #Buntinandassociates #Sellingsoil #Coldwellbanker
