Halfway thru Summer

Halfway through summer as I’m writing today and what a great summer it has been. Although the real estate market has slowed down due to interest rates and limited supply, I’ve still had great success with home buyers navigating the market. There’s no secret that Central Virginia is a highly desirable place to live - the quality and cost of living are unmatched. This is a big reason folks just aren’t selling their houses. And an even better reason on why selling now is a great time, due to the shortage of homes available. These dynamics matched with homebuyers from 2021-2022 locked in at 3% interest rates are producing homeowners that aren’t selling anytime soon no matter how much equity they’ve gained. But guess what? It's still a great time to buy, because summertime has less active buyers than the spring and the prices are only rising!

How’s your summer project checklist looking?
