Today's Real Estate market can be summed up in one word: OPPORTUNITY. It's easy to feel a bit glum about how much value your current home has probably lost. But there may be more to gain in today's market than to lose. I am continually surprised by the calls I get from past clients. It usually goes something like this "Hey, Shelly. We want you to come talk to us about selling our house... well, we still love our house, but we were just thinking that if we could sell it, we could finally make the move to that we've always wanted to make. We've been online looking, and we can actually afford to get a that we just couldn't afford before."

It's all about OPPORTUNITY. So- what are the highlights here?
1.) If you can come to terms with the inevitable lower sale price on your current home, you can make a move UP to a home where you can stay long term.
2.) There is momentum brewing out there- buyers are looking online,gauging the market even before reaching out to their REALTORS
3.) When you do list, make sure your online presence has "WOW" so those buyers can get excited about what they see, and so it will move them to ACTION.
4.) LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE! Low interest rates, low sale prices, and lots of inventory make this the strongest buyer's market in a long time.

Take a look at your own life, your current home, your future goals. If you have always thought that your "forever home" is different from the home you live in now, this might be a good time to make that move. And of course, call your Dickens-Mitchener agent today to help you take advantage of the OPPORTUNITIES on your horizon!
