“Every year, ‘Black Friday’ is a highly anticipated event for eager shoppers. Some people prepare for weeks, crafting and refining a strategic shopping agenda, determining exactly when to arrive at each store, and capturing a wish list of discounted must-have items to purchase. But what about buying a home? Is there a ‘Black Friday’ for the home-buying process? Believe it or not, there is. According to a new study from realtor.com, the week of September 22 is the best time of year to buy a home, making it ‘Black Friday’ for homebuyers. After evaluating housing data in 53 metros from 2016 to 2018, realtor.com determined that the first week of fall is when buyers “tend to find less competition, more inventory, and the biggest reductions on list price.” The report explains, “During the first week of fall, buyers tend to face 26% less competition from other buyers, and they are likely to see 6.1% more homes available on the market compared to other weeks of the year…nearly 6% of homes on the market will also see price reductions, averaging 2.4% less than their peak.” What’s so different about the first week of fall? George Ratiu, Senior Economist with realtor.com says, “As summer winds down and kids return to school, many families hit pause on their home search and wait until the next season to start again…as seasonal inventory builds up and restores itself to more buyer-friendly levels, fall buyers will be in a better position to take advantage of today’s low mortgage rates and increased purchasing power.” Learn more about how prices, listings, and buyer competition stack up during the first week of fall in your metro area.

The Spring Real Estate Market is here an in full force and home prices are UP!!! Want to get in on some of that action? If you’re interested in selling your home, here are a few things to take into consideration before contacting The Romanski Group to sell it for you. Floors and walls It will benefit you in more ways than one to make sure all flooring and walls in the house are in good condition. Give it a fresh coat of paint. Get the carpets cleaned. Replace any broken tile or cracked flooring, and clean the grout. De- clutter We could all probably use a little of this in our lives. When you’re ready to sell your home remove any and all unnecessary items from each room. Closets are important on the declutter train. Buyers will look in all storage areas, and the more organized it is, the more spacious it looks! When leaving or planning decor for your sell, keep all paint and items neutral, simple, and impersonal. This enables the buy to envision themselves living there too! While you’re at it, be sure to clean your entire house. You’ll need to reach all the nooks and crannys. Click here to review a list of uncommonly cleaned areas of a home. Make Repairs This might seem obvious, but if you’re questioning if you should fix something or not- do it.
