https://youtu.be/oni_MAb9SYc VIDEO DIALOGUE Alright then, let’s get right to it. How much is your house worth? There are a couple of different ways to look at value. First off, how many houses like yours have sold within about a 1 mile radius of your house in the last 6 months? You can get a pretty close estimate by looking at those. But do you have as many updates as they do? Or do they have as many updates [...]
https://youtu.be/irISGGf68xY VIDEO DIALOGUE If you’re searching for a good app to house hunt - the main thing to look at is how accurate the info in the app can be. The top few are obvious: Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, Redfin (which isn’t in every area, but it is in Nashville) Then you have those secondary apps like Homesnap, HomeLight, HomeScout and even OpenDoor (which is exclusively homes sold through OpenDoor).

For the same monthly payment, buyers can now afford almost $32,000 more home than they could a year ago. The report notes that thanks to low mortgage rates, buying power is up 10% from a year ago. In that time, the average home price increased more than $12,000, yet the average monthly payment went down 6%! CoreLogic’s CEO says, “we expect these price increases to moderate [...]

I’ve been in production for over 15 years, and I’ve rented studio spaces in different parts of the country. These days, it’s important to reduce your overhead, and still ensure that you have the space you need to do your work.

https://youtu.be/GaLdYm37fy4 VIDEO DIALOGUE How long does it take to sell a house? Well, I’ll admit that’s a bit of a tough question to answer. No one wants their house to sit on the market for a long time, and in some cases you really need to sell in a short period of time, and of course you want the most you can get for it. I will say around Nashville there are certain markets that seem to force [...]
The V-shaped housing recovery continues. New Home Sales soared in June to a level higher than the one they reached before the shutdown--up 13.8% for the month, posting their highest annual sales rate since 2007!
