The temperatures in the Okanagan may be cold, but our real estate market is HOT! We are in a full swing Sellers Market and now might be the perfect time for you to list your property. Why list in a sellers market? More buyers than homes for sale Prices tend to be higher because of increased demand... Homes sell quickly More likely to be multiple offers on a home, which gives sellers negotiating power We are seeing properties sell in multiple offers every day many over asking price! Want to know where the value of your home stands in all of this? Contact me for a free Home Evaluation to see if it makes sense for you to list your home.

Resolved to get your home in tip-top shape this year? It doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Get started little by little with these quick tips: 1 Clean out closets one at a time. Go through each item and sort into three piles: keep, trash, and donate. 2 Your pantry takes a beating day after day. Show it some love by throwing away misfits and checking expiration dates.... 3 Going batty over cords, chargers, and devices? Invest in a charging station for multiple devices to keep gadgets (new and old) under control. 4 Stay on top of clutter little by little. When you have a few minutes, clean out a drawer here and a cabinet there. 5 Books doing nothing but collecting dust? Donate gently loved classics to your library’s used book sale. 6 Cut down on paper clutter by unsubscribing from junk mail and signing-up for electronic billing. Last year taught us there’s not much we can controlwe can, however, always be intentional to create a home we love! May 2021 be the year you do just that.

Hot off the press Here is our February Market Report with how things went in January 2021. OVERVIEW: As a whole, the Okanagan is in a SELLERS market.

Selling a home can be easier said than done, especially if you don’t have the right team behind you. That’s not the case for these sellers! 7 - 170 Celano Crescent is SOLD thanks to Christine Boisseau In this hectic market, know you're in good hands working with Christine. She brings the calm, educated approach that's needed to make the right decision in a market like this! ...

It’s the Mount Everest of questions, the big one, the one everyone wonders about, but only a few are so bold to ask. Drumroll, please If I can sell my house on my own, WHY do I need an Realtor? You know what? It’s true. You CAN sell your home without an agent. But the better question is SHOULD you sell your home without an agent? ... Sadly, it's not uncommon for a FSBO listing to fetch a price tens of thousands of dollars less than what an agent could bring, in a fraction of the time. If you want maximum profit in minimum time, you need an agent. Statistics show an agent typically gets you 25% more on the sale! PLUS, you’ll gain an advocate, expert, and cheerleader who’s single goal is looking out for your best interest as you complete one of the largest transactions of your life! And let's not forget about the time selling a home can take. For a real estate professional, it can take anywhere from 20 - 200+ hours to sell a property. As an amateur, you’ll likely take twice as long to complete each step with the extra time dedicated to research. As if that’s not long enough, remember this double-time only makes up for your absent real estate agent’s duties. You’ll spend even more time tending to your normal responsibilities as a seller such as decluttering, cleaning, repairs, lawn maintenance, and paint touch-ups. So, instead of going through all that, just message us! You'll save time, money and a lot of headache

Happy Holidays from all of us at the KelownaHomes Team
