LIST NOW! Buyers coming Mid-September! That is in 2 weeks!

The next FOMC meeting to discuss interest rates will be September 17-18 and there is a pretty good expectation (currently 60%) that the fed will cut rates by 25-50 basis points. There is a lot of talk about the Fed being "one and done" on the the rate cut. If so, the timing for buyers and sellers for a bit of activity might be ripe. This rate cut could bring buyers into the market and also encourage sellers to list their homes. So, if you have been on the sidelines looking to buy or sell, this might be a good entry point to get out there September 1st and start your process and be ready to jump mid-September.

Call me today if you are ready to get your home on the market to greet those buyers...I have a 7-Day Listing set up plan, if you are ready, let me lead the way...and if you are a buyer needing a pre-approval letter with a lender, so that we can go out and find you a great home to buy, let's get that started today!

And as always, if you know of anyone who may need my real estate services, please feel free to share my information or introduce us! I love referrals!

Beat Inflation Using Real Estate

Given the uncertainty of inflation, I've been receiving a lot of questions regarding how to go about minimizing losses. Popular wisdom says that investing in real estate is a good way of protecting your assets against inflation. Although there is some truth to this, the situation is far from simple.

Simply put, inflation decreases your money's buying power, making it worth less. If you invest that money in a way that allows it to grow at a higher rate than inflation, the value of your money either won't change or will increase.

There are a few reasons why housing is unique compared to other investments. For starters, fixed-rate mortgages are beneficial during periods of high inflation. This is because the dollar amount you pay stays the same, even though the value of the money that you pay is going down. This can function as a sort of discount, since you effectively pay less and less over time. This is true even in periods of low inflation, but is especially true of periods like the past few years.

Second, the housing market is fairly stable over long periods, with homes tending to increase in value.

It’s up to you to determine whether or not to invest in real estate based on your unique situation.

While it's a huge oversimplification to say that you should invest in real estate, if you want to know more about how this all works, feel free to reach out!
