Honoring our Veteran's
 THANK YOU!
Gratitude is more than a word,
it is also a way you choose to live your life.
I am so very thankful for veterans. Military service is at the core of who we are as a nation. We are a nation that was birthed on the ideals of individual and corporate freedom. Freedom not only in spirit, but also in practice. We come from many cultures, races, backgrounds, and religions to establish the American ideal: e pluribus unum, which is latin for "Out of many, one". That value is a core reason we honor and respect Veteran's service to protect that ideal here in the US and around the world.
Thankfulness is abound in so very many ways. It is the time of year for holiday decorating, entertainment, shopping, and heartwarming family events as well.

for people who especially love nostalgia! -------- ------ --------- ----------- ------- ----------This week we take a look at the last 120 days, which looks at sales since early June, which is about when rates were starting into their "journey" into the 7+ % range. That "getting money" rate has not been in place since the middle of 2000! So, what has that drain been on our immediate area's health? Not much at all. (For sellers!)
Now don't get me wrong....There is plenty of other factors to talk about, a 25% reduction in homes for sale this year vs 2022, less above list price offers/sales, less buyers in general, and sellers needing to more "honest" in preparing their home, etc. However, when it comes to the actual "speed" of when a home sold in the area in the last 120 days it is staggering, but not surprising how healthy it still is for sellers as we head into the real estate "winter" season. I will have more of a deep dive on this over the next number of weeks
Up to $500,000 = 14 Days
$500,000 - $800,000 = 12 Days
$800,000-$1,200,000 = 12 Days
$1,200,000 or more = 10 DaysTHIS WEEK

How can Stieg be a help,
even if you don't feel "ready"?
"The first step in getting where you
want to be is the will to do it" - Mother Teresa
Today, the real estate market is pulling from a lot of different directions. Homeowners need current, pragmatic, and unhyped feedback about potential home investments (dealing with deferred maintenance and cosmetics) and what likely return for their time, effort, and money can be realistically anticipated.
I spend many hours over long periods of time in person, email, and on the phone providing value and confidence to homeowners at no cost.
Let me do that for you, it is at the core of what I call... Showing Up, Working Hard, Every Day. & Long before the sale.
So invite me to your home. I will drink your coffee, tea, or tap water, and take a brief tour with you. Then, we will discuss your plans and I listen to you carefully as I know some agent's simply don't listen and only want to talk about themselves. No "dog and pony show", just me with my legal pad and clipboard.
I will then leave, almost always before I am asked, and prepare a report for you to inform and help you make the best decisions possible to fit your wants and needs.
