Today I'd like to point out some misconceptions that you may have as a homebuyer.

Why is now a good time to be in the market as a buyer?

    1. Seasonality of pricing. During the spring and summer months, the median price is traditionally higher than during the winter. According to both Dane County data and data from the National Association of Realtors, you’re likely to pay less for a home during the winter versus any other time of the year.
    2. Less competition. There are fewer buyers in the market at this time of the year that you'll have to compete against. When sellers have fewer buyers looking at their home, you’re…

There are a few major misconceptions that home sellers have about the winter market.

If you watched my video above, you'll see that accepted offers in 2015 for single-family homes and condos in Dane County were at their peak in March, April, and May. December shows the fewest number of accepted offers. Take a look at the number of accepted offers and closings in the chart below. Closing occurs right around 50 days after the offer is accepted.

Judging just by these charts featured in my video, you'd probably point to March as the best time to list your house. The number of buyers, listings, and accepted offers starts…

Recently, a homeowner asked me what to do since water started to intrude into his basement. I went to my expert, Jerin Zander from Zander Solutions, to talk to him about how to address water damage. *Zander Solutions is a waterproofing contractor that serves all of Dane County, as well as surrounding counties. His company also installs radon mitigation systems, which we will address in a future video.


If you have water coming into your basement, the first thing you need to do is figure out where the water is coming from. Water can actually enter your basement in many different ways. It can enter through the walls…

“They were excellent! Shawn sold our home after the first showing which was incredible. I had no idea he was that good!I knew he was good because I got referred to him by a friend and she talked so highly of him, but after working with him it’s just exceptional. How we were living in our home was okay for us, but we didn’t realize we weren’t showing it properly so we were able to move out of our home and stage it properly which allowed our house to sell within a weekend. We also engaged Shawn to buy a home so we bought our home and one thing he negotiated as part of the deal was a warranty which is awesome... Three days time the water stopped working. So, Shawn comes over to our home, coordinates the contacting of all the people to come fix it, and lo and…

What home improvements will give you the largest return on your investment? In some markets, you can get a return on investment of over 100% depending on the area of remodel. I'd like to discuss two areas that you should focus on.
 

1. Your curb appeal: Boosting your curb appeal can be simple tasks such as trimming some overgrown bushes, setting out a few potted plants, or replacing the siding. Your front door and your garage door are also considered curb appeal. The 2015 Home Value Report from Remodeling Magazine stated that replacing your front door yields an average of 108% return on investment. 


The first…

When you get ready to sell your home, every inch of it needs to be neat and tidy. Therefore, despite what most sellers may think, this includes your garage.

One of the most neglected areas of a house when owners are getting ready to sell is the garage. That’s a mistake, and today I'd like to explain why.

Take a step into the buyer's shoes for a minute. They know what they want in a home, so they look at homes they like. On the inside, they could check off all the boxes on their list. However, if they come and see a dirty garage, it might immediately turn them off.

Just like the inside of your home, the inside of your garage…

How do you price your home? My team and I have a fairly simple system to make sure that you don’t leave any money on the table.


First, we figure out what the market is like in your area. In a seller’s market, there is less inventory than there are buyers and prices are rising. In a buyer’s market, there is more inventory than there are buyers and prices go down. In a balanced market, there is an equal amount of buyers and sellers - balanced markets usually don’t last long, though.


Next, we look at active comparable listings so you know which properties yours is competing against in your area. We also…
