Sellers, You Can Still Get a Great Price for Your Home
As mortgage rates continue to climb, many have anticipated a significant drop in home prices. However, that hasn’t happened yet and is unlikely to occur anytime soon. In fact, property prices remain high and are even rising in some markets. Here are several factors contributing to high property prices:
Very Low Inventory
The real estate market is experiencing an unprecedented shortage of available homes. Compared to past “normal” years, there are only about half as many homes for sale. This scarcity has created a competitive environment where demand exceeds supply, leaving buyers motivated to find a home… Read More

Featured Testimonial
by Dan & Lindsey
With the help of Melissa Mathis, we were able to purchase our first home. Melissa came highly recommended and after working with her, we found out there are so many reasons why. We purchased a home during a very tough market, houses were selling so quickly and often would sell before even hitting the public market. Knowing this information, Melissa was very available for us to look at homes quickly and she helped us keep on top of the revolving door of houses. Even with a few “lost out on” offers that went to higher bidders, she kept positive for us and kept reminding us that this is not a “normal” market and our house was out there! It took some time but we finally found the house for us. Melissa formed a great working relationship with the seller’s realtor and I believe that helped us secure the house during this crazy market!
She had great recommendations for inspectors, mortgage companies, and lawyers. She helped us every step of the way even throughout closing and after. We never really knew how much time a realtor spends working throughout the week and Melissa showed that to us. She was accessible for so many hours during the day and made time for us so much throughout the entire process. We highly recommend Melissa to anyone searching for a home!

Home Prices Rise as Inventory Shortages Continue
For the fourth time, the median existing-home sales price climbed above $400,000, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR); in July, it reached $406,700, a 1.9% year-over-year increase. Across the country, prices rose in the Northeast, Midwest, and South but remained stable in the West.
