BUYING IN 2021 - HERE'S WHAT'S CHANGING: It's safe to say that 2020 brought about quite a few changes in the real estate world but a lot of them are pretty great! Here are a few things that have changed home buying that you can expect to see if starting your home search in 2021! The features buyers are looking for: With the transition to virtual classrooms, work from home jobs drastically increasing and more time spent at home overall, buyers wishlists have shifted to some ...pretty specific home features. If you're starting your home search this year, these may be features you want to consider for resale (depending on how long you plan to live in your home). Some of those features include dedicated home office space, multi-purpose kitchens and mudrooms, smart home tech, and an emphasis on making the most of the outdoor space! Being prepared in advance - not only did Covid change the real estate market but so did the low inventory levels we experienced last year. Knowing your budget and being able to make moves very confidently is going to continue to be KEY to buying a home this year. That means meeting with a Real Estate Agent before you're ready to start your actual home search, getting pre-approved before even looking at homes online, and understanding the ins and outs of a competitive market. Buyer Consults: The good news about being prepared for your home search well in advance is that I am now offering real estate consults virtually (over Zoom). I can get you set up for success and answer all of your questions! Do you have questions about starting your home search in 2021? Drop them in the comments!
