What Does 2026 Mean for Home Sellers?Thinking ab What Does 2026 Mean for Home Sellers?Thinking about selling in 2026? The automatic leverage sellers enjoyed during the pandemic is gone—but that doesn't mean it's a bad time to sell.
Well-priced, move-in-ready homes in desirable areas still attract strong interest. Properties that are overpriced or need work face longer marketing times. Concessions like closing cost credits and rate buydowns are becoming normal tools to stay competitive without cutting your asking price.
The key? Price accurately from the start, prepare your home well, and work with someone who understands current local conditions. In a more balanced market, preparation determines outcomes.

🏡 New Year Resolution: The '1% Rule' for Homeowner 🏡 New Year Resolution: The '1% Rule' for Homeowners⁣
⁣
As we kick off the new year, here's a smart financial resolution that can save you stress and money down the road: the 1% Rule.⁣
⁣
What is it? Financial experts recommend setting aside 1-3% of your home's value each year for maintenance and repairs. This proactive approach helps you avoid being caught off guard by unexpected expenses like a failing HVAC system, roof repairs, or appliance replacements.⁣
⁣
Here's how to make it work:⁣
• For a $300,000 home, that's $3,000–$9,000 per year⁣
• Break it into monthly savings: $250–$750/month⁣
• Keep it in a separate savings account labeled "Home Maintenance Fund"⁣
• Use it only for home-related repairs and upkeep⁣
⁣
Newer homes might lean toward the 1% end, while older homes often need closer to 3%. Either way, you'll have peace of mind knowing you're prepared when something needs attention.⁣
⁣
This simple habit can protect your investment and keep your home in great shape for years to come.⁣
