There’s one big mistake you need to avoid when you sell your house this year: setting your price too high. It might seem like overpricing gives you room to negotiate or could really boost your profit, but the reality is, it usually backfires.

In fact, Realtor.com says almost 20% of sellers — that’s one in five — have to reduce their price to get their house sold. And you don’t want to be one of them. Here’s why starting too high can lead to trouble, and how to avoid it.

Overpricing Pushes Buyers Away

With mortgage rates and home prices where they are right now, buyers are already stretching their budgets to make a move. So, when they see a house that’s priced too high, they’re not thinking, “I can negotiate.” They’re more likely to think, “next” and skip over your house entirely. An article from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) explains:

“Some sellers are pricing their homes higher than ever just because they can, but this may drive away serious buyers . . .”

And if they skip over your listing, you’ll miss out on the chance to get them through the door. That’s the last thing you want because fewer showings mean fewer chances to receive an offer.

The Longer Your House Sits, the More Skeptical Buyers Will Get

Here’s the other issue. An overpriced house tends to sit on the market longer. And the longer a house lingers, the more buyers start to wonder what’s wrong with it. Is there a problem with the house itself? Are you difficult to work with? Even if the only issue is the price, that extra time creates doubt. As U.S. News says:

“. . . setting an unrealistically high price with the idea that you can come down later doesn’t work in real estate . . . A home that’s overpriced in the beginning tends to stay on the market longer, even after the price is cut, because buyers think there must be something wrong with it.”

At that point, you’ll have no choice but to lower your price to drum up interest. But that price reduction comes with its own downside: buyers may see it as another red flag, that there’s an issue with the house.

The Key To Finding the Right Price for Your House

So, what’s the secret to avoiding all these headaches? It’s simple. Work with a local real estate agent who knows the market inside and out, and who’s going to be honest with you about how you should price your house.

You don’t want to partner with someone who just agrees to whatever number you throw out there. That’s not an expert who’s going to get you the best results.

You want an agent who recommends a price based on their expertise. The right agent will use real-time data from your local market to help you land on a price that makes sense — one that grabs attention, attracts buyers, and still helps you walk away with a great return. Someone who has been there and done that – and done it well. That’s the agent you want to work with.

Bottom Line

Remember, if the price isn’t compelling, it’s not selling. Instead of shooting too high and scaring off buyers, work with a local agent who knows how to price it right.

Connect with an agent to make sure your house hits the market with the right price, gets noticed, and gets sold.

September 23rd officially kicks off Libra season! This time of the year signals balance, reflection, beauty and elegance, which are just a few of Libra’s key traits. We have also entered the Autumn Equinox, which symbolizes a fresh start. And what better way to express a fresh start than sprucing up your home decor!

Adding new things will enhance your mood. Even small design and decor touches can help you find small joys throughout the year while keeping your home looking fresh and new.

Tabletops: If you have an entryway table, or in the center of your dining table, put a basket and get a candle in there, or a new floral arrangement. Vases are huge right now — traditional ones, and some that have a new, clean almost Scandinavian feel. That’s a good way to change up your table top.

Flowers: Change your floral arrangement with the seasons. Sunflowers, dahlias and pansies are my favorite for Autumn! If you have a pet and you can’t have real plants, artificial plants and leaves look so real nowadays, you could put a bouquet of fake flowers and it will look real and beautiful, and it just adds that little softness and pop to your table. Homegoods is my go to for artificial arrangements, and currently has a beautiful selection of fall themed florals that are the perfect addition to any home.

Diffusers: You don’t need to light it, you don’t need to remember to blow it out, they can go in any room, and they really fill the room with fragrance. And fragrance lifts your spirits.

Throw Pillows: There are neutral ones that would match anyone’s couch, and then there’s something with design, floral throw pillows with studs on the ends — that’s just a fun way to spice up a couch or a chair, or even your bed.

Books: Books are always a great way to spruce up a room. It’s very popular to do a stack of books, decorative books like Chanel No. 5, the coffee table book. It’s a showstopper.

You want to feel happy in your space. So add things that bring you joy!

32:T29d4,

As we transition into Scorpio & Eclipse season on October 24th, there will be a strong urge to eliminate something from our lives that no longer serves us. Decluttering and re-organizing our homes will satisfy this need to release, and provide the space needed to bring in much needed new energy. Letting go and purging are keywords for Eclipses and the powerful sign of Scorpio.

Sometimes the hardest part of decluttering is just getting started. The best way to set the overwhelming feeling aside is to start with small steps.

The best way to start decluttering when you're overwhelmed is to do it in stages. Make a "declutter your home checklist" to prioritize clutter areas. Focus on one room, or even one zone within a room (e.g., kitchen cabinets), at a time. And complete each job fully before moving on to the next space.

Before you start to declutter your home, have containers defined for the following purposes to sort items:

Put away: Items that have crept out of their designated storage spaces
Fix/mend: Items that need something before they're put away, such as a shirt with a missing button
Recycle: Items that can be recycled
Trash: Items to throw away in the household trash
Donate: Unwanted items that are still in good condition and can be donated to a charitable organization or another person

Creating a Decluttering Timeline

If you don't have a lot of stuff, it might be possible to declutter your house in one day or on a weekend. Or you might want to create a longer timeline to declutter your house in 30 days, for example. You can also plan a decluttering schedule just for the weekends you have in a month if you wish.

Keep your goals realistic and attainable, so you can declutter your home without feeling overwhelmed. Break down the spaces you need to declutter, estimating how long each will take. And then organize that into your overall timeline. Give yourself some buffer time in case something doesn't go according to plan.

What you should not do when decluttering is pull out all of your stuff without a plan for how you're going to sort it. If you do that, you'll likely just waste time wading through all of your disorganized items. In addition, it's often best to clean first before you declutter, so your everyday items are tidy and out of the way.

Consider starting in a room or space with only a small amount of clutter. That way, you can get it done quickly and feel like you're making progress on your overall decluttering timeline, which should in turn motivate you to keep going.

01. The Bathroom

Start with your medicine cabinet. Take everything out, and discard outdated medications, makeup, and skincare products. Put everything you're keeping immediately back into the cabinet, storing the items you use most often at eye level.

Next, move onto any cabinet drawers. Remove everything, and do a quick evaluation of what you're keeping and what you're tossing. Put the items you're going to keep back into their drawers, with the items you use most often in the top drawers.

Now, do the same routine with your shower/tub. Finally, pull everything out from below your bathroom sink, and declutter the items there.

Lastly, everything that did not have a home can be quickly sorted into the five bins you have staged for the purpose.

02. The Bedroom

First, make your bed. It's hard to feel any progress decluttering a bedroom while an unmade bed stares you in the face.

Start with your nightstands. Remove anything on them that doesn’t belong there, and put it in your put-away bin. This may include books you’ve already finished reading, pens and paper, and mail. Throw out or recycle anything that you no longer use, such as empty tissue boxes, pens that have gone dry, or chargers that no longer work.

Do the same with the tops of your dressers, chests, and/or bureaus. Pay careful attention to any clothing that is strewn about. Anything that needs folding or hanging goes into the put-away bin. If you're afraid it may wrinkle further, you can lay clothes on your bed.

Go through each bureau, drawer by drawer. Take everything out. Pull out anything that is no longer worn, and put it in your donation bin. Fold and store the clothing you're keeping.

If you keep a desk or vanity table in your bedroom, tackle that next. Resist the urge to shove things back into drawers; instead, put them in your put-away bin. Toss or recycle any garbage or anything you haven’t used in more than six months.

Return items to their proper places. Fold or hang and store any clothing. If you're now eyeing your closet, we'll tackle that next.

03. Closet & Clothing

The easiest way to tackle a closet is to first declutter your clothing by type. That means start with shoes, then boots, then dresses, then denim, etc.

It’s much easier to decide to toss or keep a pair of jeans if you’re looking at your entire jeans collection at once. So start pulling out different types of clothing, and decide what you'll toss and keep.

Once you’ve gone through each type of clothing, you will have four piles to deal with:

Put away anything that was simply in the wrong spot. Example: If you had a pair of socks in your closet, put them in your dresser.
Put any dirty laundry into the hamper, or bring it to the laundry room.
Anything that needs to be repaired should go to the tailor or dry cleaner.
To get rid of clothes, take them to a donation center or consignment store.

04. The Entryway

You may not have a traditional mudroom or foyer, but you definitely have an entryway. No matter how small it is, the best way to make an entryway most functional is to declutter it regularly.

Start with any desk, console, or side tables you have in your entry. Go through each drawer, removing the contents, and make a quick decision to toss or keep each item. Go over the tops of each desk or console as well. Do you have a space for your keys and other important items? Make sure everything is accessible and not too crowded. This will make it easier to leave the house with what you need each morning.

The hall closet should be decluttered like any other closet: Start with shoes and boots, then jackets, followed by accessories.

The entry is another area that picks up a lot of clutter from other rooms. Spend time putting away things from other rooms that have made their way to the entry.

05. The Kitchen

Keeping your kitchen clutter-free can be a challenge because so many different activities occur there—cooking, eating, and socializing. As a result, the kitchen has many different types of items stored in it. You can choose to declutter your kitchen by focusing on one category of item at a time (cutting boards, glassware, utensils, or bakeware, for example) or going by zone through each part of the kitchen.

The first step is to completely empty each space, assess each item, and put everything back where it belongs. Start with your powerhouse storage spaces first, such as the pantry and upper cabinets. Then move onto the lower cabinets, drawers, and the space under the kitchen sink.

Finally, concentrate on your countertops. Move as many items as possible off of the countertops and into storage spaces. Keep only what you use every single day on the countertops.

Finally, take your put-away bin, and return anything that doesn't belong in the kitchen to its rightful storage space elsewhere in the house.

06. The Living Room

The living room is one of the hardest rooms in your home to keep neat on a daily basis. That's because it gets a lot of use, and living rooms don't usually offer a lot of storage features. You may have some bookcases and a TV console, but they don’t hide much. The key is to:

Decide on permanent storage spaces for commonly used items, such as remote controls, magazines, and books.
Declutter this space regularly.

Start with bookcases, console, and side tables. Then move on to your coffee table and entertainment center. Empty them, assess the items they store, and then return them to their proper storage spaces. Put books away; reduce paper clutter, such as mail; return remote controls to their proper places; fold blankets; etc.

Move on to electronics. Remove everything that is not connected to your television or home theater system. Are you using it? Does it work? Store items such as chargers and gaming equipment where you use them.

Finally, tackle the toys. Assess every toy for wear and tear. Does it still function? Do your kids still play with it? Recycle or store each toy.

Grab your put-away bin, and return everything that belongs in another room to its proper storage space.

The more we release during this Eclipse & Scorpio Season, the more creativity and inspiration we invite into our lives. Start in small steps, and slowly but surely you'll be releasing old energy and noticing new opportunites making its way into your life.

33:T14f0,

Welcome to Capricorn Season! This time of year is known for putting in hard work, achieving and making plans for the up coming year.

Capricorn's most well-known traits are ambition, persistence, practicality and discipline. Let’s use this energy to kick off 2023 with a clean slate ready for achievement! A great way to set the stage is to spruce up your Home Office space. Keep reading for a list of decor tips to set you up for success.

1. Invest in a Great Chair

The chair you sit in all day can have the biggest impact on your productivity. Choosing something ergonomic or at least comfy will help motivate you to stay in the zone. Don’t be afraid to poach your chair of choice from another room in your house if you need to!

2. Paint the Walls a Color you Love

Forget "office beige": You need a color that gets your work motor humming. For some people, that's a bright, cheery color like orange or lime green. Others need a calming shade like botanical green or sea foam blue to perform.

3. Add Some Plants

According to a global study, workspaces that incorporate natural elements have a 15% higher well-being score and a 6% higher productivity than offices that don't include natural elements. Adding greenery to your workspace helps restore our attention and focus. It also brightens things up!

4. Set the Mood with Scents

Did you know that certain scents can positively affect the outcome of your work day? Peppermint and eucalyptus can increase concentration, citrus scents can increase energy, lavender can decrease stress, and more. Burn your favorite candle, spray some air freshener, or diffuse an essential oil to set the mood in your workspace each day.

5. Let there be Light

Good lighting is important for both your productivity and your mental health. Don’t be afraid to move some lamps around in your house to prioritize good lighting in your work space or office, or to turn your desk to face a window to allow natural light to reach you throughout the day. The key to good lighting is layering — a mix of natural light, a warm light source that illuminates the whole room, and a light that directly illuminates your desk.

6. Music

Don’t play your music out of your smartphone or laptop speakers — If you have a smart speaker or stereo system, move it into your office! It’ll upgrade the way you listen to your work playlist and help set a productive tone for your day.

7. Clean Up & Organize

Hang floating shelves on the walls to get papers and office equipment off the desk, and use vertical file folders on the desk to keep important papers within arm's reach. Are you a stacker or a filer? If you tend to make piles, get a nice basket to tame your mail, notes and papers. If you prefer a clean desktop, designate one drawer for your "to-do" papers. Wooden or metal cube storage is a fun alternative to bookshelves, since each space can be used for books, knickknacks or baskets of odds-and-ends. A trendy file cabinet and bins can also do the trick!

8. Access to Outlets

One of the office luxuries we often take for granted is access to plentiful outlets. If your home office is lacking outlets, steal a power strip from behind your living room couch or order one online. No need to stress yourself out with a dying laptop during a video call.

The talk of a housing bubble in the coming year seems to be at a fever pitch as rising mortgage rates continue to slow down an overheated real estate market. Over the past two years, home prices have appreciated at an unsustainable pace causing many to ask: are things just slowing down, or is a crash coming?

To answer this question, there are two things we want to understand. The first is the reality of the shift in today’s housing market. And the second is what experts are saying about home prices in the coming year.

The Reality of the Shift in Today’s Housing Market

The reality is we’re seeing an inflection point in housing supply and demand. According to realtor.com, active listings have increased more than 26% over last year, while showings from the latest ShowingTime Showing Index have decreased almost 17% from last year (see graph below). This is an inflection point for housing because, over the past two years, we’ve seen a massive amount of demand (showings) and not enough homes available for sale for the number of people that wanted to buy. That caused the market frenzy.

Today, supply and demand look very different, and the market is slowing down from the pace we’ve seen. This offers proof of the sudden slowdown so many people are feeling.

What Experts Are Saying About Home Prices in the Coming Year

Right now, most experts are forecasting home price appreciation in 2023, but at a much slower pace than the last two years. The average of the six forecasters below is for national home prices to appreciate by 2.5% in the coming year. Only one of the six is calling for home price depreciation.

When we look at the shift taking place along with what experts are saying, we can conclude the national real estate market is slowing down but is not a bubble getting ready to burst. This isn’t to say that a few overheated markets won’t experience home price depreciation, but there isn’t a case to be made for a national housing bubble.

Bottom Line

The real estate market is slowing down, and that’s causing many to fear we’re in a housing bubble. What we’ve experienced in the housing market over the past two years were historic levels of demand and constrained supply. That led to homes going up in value at a record pace. While some overheated markets may experience price depreciation in the short term, according to experts, the national real estate market will appreciate in the coming year.

Last year, the Federal Reserve took action to try to bring down inflation. In response to those efforts, mortgage rates jumped up rapidly from the record lows we saw in 2021, peaking at just over 7% last October. Hopeful buyers experienced a hit to their purchasing power as a result, and some decided to press pause on their plans.

Today, the rate of inflation is starting to drop. And as a result, mortgage rates have dipped below last year’s peak. Sam Khater, Chief Economist at Freddie Mac, shares:

“While mortgage market activity has significantly shrunk over the last year, inflationary pressures are easing and should lead to lower mortgage rates in 2023.”

That’s potentially great news if you’re a buyer aiming to jump back into the housing market. Any drop in mortgage rates helps boost your purchasing power by bringing down your expected monthly mortgage payment. This means the lower mortgage rates experts forecast this year could be just what you need to reignite your homebuying goals.

While this opens up a window of opportunity for you, remember: you shouldn’t expect rates to drop back down to record lows like we saw in 2021. Experts agree that’s not the range buyers should bank on. Greg McBride, Chief Financial Analyst at Bankrate, explains:

“I think we could be surprised at how much mortgage rates pull back this year. But we’re not going back to 3 percent anytime soon, because inflation is not going back to 2 percent anytime soon.”

It’s important to have a realistic vision for what you can expect this year, and that’s where the advice of expert real estate advisors is critical. You may be surprised by the impact even a mild drop in mortgage rates has on your budget. If you’re ready to buy a home now, today’s market presents the opportunity to get a more affordable mortgage rate, find your dream home, and face less competition from other buyers.

Bottom Line

The recent pullback in mortgage rates is great news – but if you’re ready to buy now, holding out for 3% is a mistake. Work with a local real estate expert to explore the options in your area and learn how today’s rates impact your goals.
