✨ Hardwood floors don’t just look stunning—they can boost your home’s value by up to 5%!

To keep them gleaming, avoid these cleaning mistakes:
❌ Too much water → warping
❌ String/steam mops → excess moisture
❌ Harsh chemicals → dull finish
❌ Oil soaps & vinegar → damage

The number of homes actively for sale is at its highest point since 2020 — and that’s a big deal for any homebuyer out there.

That gives you the widest selection of homes to choose from right now that you’ve had in five years.

About half of homes are selling for under asking price right now.

While that feels different from the past few years, it’s actually a return to what’s considered normal for the market.

And the sellers who succeed today are the ones who recognize this shift.

Bay Village market update! 🏡

Prices are down, homes are selling faster, and fewer are changing hands—buyers have room to negotiate, but quick-moving listings give sellers an edge too!

Homes are sitting longer today. And one of the reasons why? Overpricing like it’s 2021 again.

In a market like this you can’t just wait it out and hope for the best. Patience won’t sell your house. But the right price will.

Foreclosures aren’t flooding the market. Far from it.

Only 2% of home sales over the month of July were foreclosures or short sales. That’s close to a record low.

And that's a very different story than 2008 crash.

Buyer demand is finally climbing again.

Why? Mortgage rates just dipped to their lowest level since last October and that was enough for some buyers to jump back in.

If you’ve been waiting to move – or your listing didn’t sell earlier this year – this could be your moment.

If you’ve owned your home for a while, you probably have some serious equity.

Right now, over two-thirds of homeowners have either paid off their mortgage entirely or have at least 50% equity.

That’s a powerful position to be in.

Based on the latest economic data, the Fed is expected to cut the Federal Funds Rate more than once this year.

Here’s why that matters. Mortgage rates don’t follow the Fed’s actions directly, but they do respond to what financial markets expect the Fed will do.

In September, mortgage rates had their biggest one-day drop in over a year.

They fell to the lowest they've been since last October.

And that shift matters. Compared to when rates were at 7% earlier this year, that could mean your future monthly payment is now about $200 lower.

There's a split happening in the housing market right now.

Some places are buyer friendly. And others are seller strong.

In some states, inventory has risen. That gives buyers more breathing room.

But in others? Listings are still scarce so sellers are calling the shots.

If your house isn’t getting offers you’re comfortable with, you may be thinking: maybe I’ll just rent it instead.

But here’s the thing you need to remember before you go that route, too. There’s probably a reason renting your home wasn’t the original plan.
