Now is the Best Time to Sell Your House!
Inventory is a challenge for buyers in today's housing market. There are significantly more buyers searching for homes to buy than there are for sale. Inventory is well below what was available last year according to various statistics. Houses on the market are selling very quickly. There are several reasons why it’s hard to find a home to purchase today, from an under-supply of newly constructed homes to sellers pressing pause on their moving plans due to the pandemic.
|
|
One key factor making it even more challenging is the amount of time current homeowners are staying in their homes. People are staying put longer, and it’s contributing to the shortage of houses for sale. With the strength the market has gained over the years, homeowners are in a much better equity position. Now is the best time for homeowners sell their houses, while buyer demand is so high and inventory is so low. It’s a prime time to sell!

WHITE PAINT
It doesn’t just look pretty. White paint can do a lot more than make your wall look fresh. Here are some surprising things white paint can do for your space:
-
Clears Visual Clutter - White paint does a few things for its surroundings that other paint colors don’t. As the absence of color, white can clear your mind.
-
Creates Space - White is bright and can create a sense of space. Rooms painted completely white can seem spacious and clean.
-
Makes Us Feel Good - In the psychology of color, white symbolizes peace and purity. The color white is like a blank slate, denoting a new beginning or a fresh start.

Who are the 49ers?
On January 24, 1848, gold was discovered at Sutter’s Mill on the American River in Northern California. Word soon spread and by 1849 thousands of prospectors, who became known as 49ers, were flocking to Coloma, California, site of Sutter’s Mill, and the surrounding region, hoping to strike it rich. The 49ers, most of whom were men, came from the eastern United States as well as other parts of the globe, including Europe, China, Mexico and South America. A century after the Gold Rush, the 49ers were memorialized when San Francisco’s first major league professional sports franchise, a football team, was named. In 1995, the San Francisco 49ers became the first NFL team to win five Super Bowls.
