How Working From Home is Changing the Suburbs as We Know Them |
|
In the spring of 2020, many of the typical draws to cities — plays, nightclubs, restaurants — shut down. Space took on a premium, as small apartments close to others felt particularly claustrophobic. All of a sudden, a big home in the suburbs for the same monthly price as a tiny apartment in the city got a whole lot more attractive. More companies than ever are allowing employees to work from home, and studies say that between 13 and 45 percent of the workforce is now part-time remote or all of the time. As a result, a new rush to the suburbs is well underway. The number of net new households that moved to the suburbs grew 43 percent last year, according to data from the Wall Street Journal, compared to 2019. Click here to read the full article. |

Tips For Selling During The Holidays |
|
|
|
As we transition from November to December, the holiday season continues. This time is often considered a bad time to sell your home due to the unpredictable temperatures and possible changes in weather, but it is also the time your home often looks it's best. Use the holidays as a time to decorate your home, make a cozy space, and entice possible buyers. Click here for the full article, and keep reading for a few key tips! |
|
Give House Hunters An Escape From The Cold Temps Use the colder weather as a chance to pull out all the stops for your prospective buyers. Light the fireplace for a roaring blaze, stage the home with cozy throws, play soft classical music, or even make some tasty holiday treats for those who would like to take some with them. |
|
Make Curb Appeal A Top Priority As the transition from fall to winter results in leaves falling and bare trees, this is the time to make sure your curb appeal still looks great. Keep the front walks swept and free of debris, have seasonal trees to line the entry, and ensure paint is touched up in places that the fuller trees may have disguised. |
|
|
Deck The Halls, But Don't Go Overboard Often homes look their best during the holiday season with the special decor shown proudly, but it's important not to go too big with your adornments. Sellers also want to be sure that they aren't focusing in too much on one denomination's holiday as not to off put those who don't celebrate. You can stick to gorgeous winter decor instead. |

Millennials and Homebuying: Real Estate Adapts to Largest Generation |
|
According to the American Community and American Housing surveys, there are 66 million millennials in the U.S., and they now represent 37 percent of the total national homebuying market. Millennials approach homebuying differently than older generations. It’s not just an obsession with browsing for homes, but also different preferences for what they want in a home and more comfort in relying more heavily on digital processes from walkthroughs to closings. The landscape is shifting to accommodate their needs and desires. Click here to read the full article. |
