Don’t Blame Your REALTOR® for Putting a Positive Spin on the Market
When you’re hearing news about home prices remaining high, and mortgage rates skyrocketing, you might wonder how a real estate agent can possibly claim it’s a great time to buy. Or, on the other hand, you read that sales prices are coming down and it’s taking longer to sell because rates have gone up, it […]

Mammoth Lakes Real Estate Market Update for November 2022
As we enter November 2022, Mammoth Lakes inventory continues to decline while days on the market is increasing. Pricing continues to be down slightly from historic highs in 2021 but still higher than pre-COVID levels. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, my forecast is the same. Over the longer-term, the supply of […]

Short Sale vs. Foreclosure: What’s the Difference?
There are a few different scenarios for homeowners that are struggling to make their mortgage payments or are “underwater” on their homes (and owe more than what it’s worth)—including short sales and foreclosures.

Have you watched homes on your street sell for sky-high prices in the past few years?
It’s tempting to aim high when it comes time to sell your home—but proceed with caution.
The market is adapting to rising mortgage rates, and homes simply aren’t selling as fast. Unfortunately, the longer a home is listed, the more buyers’ concerns begin to grow.
Of course, you also don’t want to sell your home for less than it’s worth.
That’s why it’s important to work with a local market expert. We know the ins and outs of the local real estate market and what buyers are willing to pay today.
The good news? If you’ve been in your home for several years, you are likely to have a sizable amount of equity. That means you stand to make a tidy profit. 🤑

While I am often accused of being an eternal optimist, there are some valid reasons for having a positive outlook on the current real estate market.
When you’re hearing news about home prices remaining high, and mortgage rates skyrocketing, you might wonder how a real estate agent can possibly claim it’s a great time to buy. Or, on the other hand, you read that sales prices are coming down and it’s taking longer to sell because rates have gone up, it may make you question how agents can claim that it’s a great time to sell.
You might feel like agents always seem to be constantly putting a positive spin on the current real estate market, and think they’re doing it out of self-interest. After all, they only make money if and when someone buys or sells a house, so of course they’d want people to feel like it’s always a great time to buy or sell real estate.

"Sonja was so professional and wonderful to deal with. She stepped in when our original realtor bowed out after we drove 5 hours to look at real estate. She stepped in without a single hiccup and then stood by us as we negotiated the purchase price and was with us helping us get the mortgage. She was a full service realtor even doing things not normally done by a realtor. Highly recommend her."

Sonja is super excited to help her clients sell their St. Anton condo -- they are doing a 1031 exchange and will be buying in another state. The good news is they still own in Mammoth Lakes and will be around for years to come. A local full time resident is the new owner and will call this place home....just in time for the holidays! Thanks to Lauren Tracey and Sierra Escrow.

📣BEWARE OF INSTANT CASH OFFERS FOR YOUR HOME
The US Federal Trade Commission recently fined online home buying firm Opendoor $62 million for “cheating” home sellers.
The company was deceiving homeowners by claiming that “they could make more money selling their home to Opendoor than on the open market using the traditional sales process.”
Companies like Opendoor (aka iBuyers or direct buyers) use computer algorithms to offer home sellers quick cash offers. But don’t be fooled by their splashy advertising—these offers are almost always below market value.
According to MarketWatch, transactions involving iBuyers net sellers a whopping 11% less than those conducted by a real estate agent on the open market.
Listing your home with an agent is the proven way to maximize its sale price. Contact us today for a free consultation to find out what your home is really worth.
