hello, september!

WOW - this weather! As the summer heat makes its dramatic exit, September waltzes in with a fresh start for everyone! We're back to school, home from summer escapades, and primed to embrace the new season. Our neighborhoods will soon be sprinkled with golden ginko leaf autumnal magic as we gear up for football games, fall festivals, fundraisers, and all things pumpkin-spiced.


Now's the perfect moment to tackle new goals, like hunting for that dream home if you're ready for a move. Whether you're lured by the city lights or the suburban calm, September is the golden moment to find a home that suits you just right!


From contractor recs to social events to planning a move across the street or across the country, our Team is ready to guide you. Give us a holler when you need us!

real estate in the news

Appreciate Your Home!

The Fed was predicted to drop rates something like 18 times this year. They didn't. While some buyers are sidelined waiting for the drastic drop, others are picking up homes at great prices and terms with little competition now. If and when rates come back down under 6%, there will likely be a release of ALOT of pent up demand, and we will see price increases. In 1971, rates were at 7.5%. They didn't go down until 1993. In that timeframe, home values quadrupled. Moral: Don't wait to buy real estate. Buy real estate and wait!

why use private exclusive?


How can Private Exclusive Listings be great for Sellers?

“Days on market” and “public price drops” are value killers for sellers. Often, listing a property for a period in our COMPASS Private Exclusive platform is a great way to pre-market listings, receive pricing feedback from other COMPASS agents, and generate excitement for a property while sellers are prepping their property for a full public listing. Sometimes, a COMPASS buyer agent may have the perfect buyer match who makes an early offer on a property in PX, but even if the magic doesn't happen, PX listings do not accumulate days on market or show price history, so Sellers can hit the public market in MLS fully informed and generate the most interest, once they are ready.


How can Private Exclusives help our Buyers?

There is an exciting amount of inventory coming on the market in upcoming weeks and months! We might know of a home that Sellers choose to market privately, or are open to showing early to our vetted COMPASS Buyers. This is an advantage which only signed COMPASS Buyer clients have access to. We are happy to discuss this opportunity with you and your friends and family!
