On this week's special Halloween show The Commodore (Kirk Duckwall), Mr. Hockey (Chad Priebe) and The King (Ben Greilanger) and guest appearance Boo from Monsters Inc. (Lauren Swenson) discuss things that "scare" people when buying or selling a home. The market scares people, data scares people, rates scare people. The discussion goes through the real current data and how it is actually a benefit and not scary. Another "scare" is the maintenance of a home or the "updates" that are wanted. Many people pay too much attention to the little cosmetic things that can be fixed for a minimal cost compared to looking at something that is completely finished for $50k more.

Things That Scare People In Real Estate

On this week's show Kirk Duckwall, Chad Priebe and Erica Carlson deep dive into navigating a buy/sell situation in 2024. The first item is timing! This situation can be a stressful because of the uncertainty and the unknown. To help with this is to have a real estate agent you trust and guide you through this process. There are many options to take a look at for a buy/sell situation. If you take anything away from this, it is to have a plan and have realistic expectations.

Matching Buyer's Skills & Resources with Homes

On this week's show Kirk Duckwall, Chad Priebe and Jilly Jenkins paint a little picture with Real Estate by Numbers. Understanding the numbers can make a huge difference. They cover equity, appreciation, renting vs buying and more! Example: If you are waiting for the rate to drop from 7% to 6% to save $150/mo on a $350k home, you are missing out on that 3% equity gain over those months from when you could have purchased it. The sooner you begin the better you will be, just like retirement savings. Of course there are scenarios where it makes sense to wait. Come check it out!
