⚠ What Sellers Need to Know Now

With home values rising ~6% year over year, your equity likely looks healthy—but pricing remains critical. Overpricing will risk longer days on market.
Because inventory is low, well‑presented homes are still getting attention. Staging, curb appeal, professional photos still matter more than ever.
Buyers are watching for homes that are “move‑in ready.” Homes needing too many repairs or outdated interiors are often passed over or require price concessions.
Be ready for faster timelines: prep early, have inspections/repairs handled ahead of listing, and choose agents who can move quickly in marketing and showing.
