If you’re house-hunting in Southern New Hampshire or eyeing a property in Northern Massachusetts, you’ve come to the right place! Get ready to uncover the real estate secrets that will help you make the most informed decision this fall. 🍂🏠

The Best Time for Buyers is NOW! 🌟

Upside for Buyers: October is your month, future homeowners! With less competition buzzing around, you’ll find that sellers during this time are not just testing the waters; they need to sell. This gives you significant leverage for negotiating a price that doesn’t break the bank. It’s almost like the universe aligned just to give you this golden window of opportunity!

Downside for Buyers: Yep, it’s that pesky little thing called interest rates. But guess what? You can totally play this to your advantage. By buying down your points, you can secure a better rate. Moreover, several mortgage companies are offering fantastic programs that allow you to refinance for free down the road! So, don’t let the fear of interest rates put a damper on your house-hunting spree!

Sellers, Shine Bright Like a Diamond! 💎

Upside for Sellers: Let’s face it, sellers—you’re the star of the show right now! With low inventory levels, you’re not competing against a sea of other listings. You’re the shiny penny that everyone wants, making this an excellent time to attract top dollar for your property.

Downside for Sellers: It’s Q4, and let’s be real, after Halloween, the real estate market in New England tends to slow down a bit. People are more focused on turkey dinners and snowball fights than attending open houses. But don’t sweat it; this can also be the IDEAL TIME to prep your home and strategize for a grand entrance in the new year. I’m ready to get started if you are! Let’s Chat!
