Don’t forget those little details—planters, a cute mat, and tidy landscaping go a long way. First impressions really do start at the front door! #CurbAppeal #HomeImprovement #RealEstateTips #FrontDoorGlowUp #Home00Share
Samantha Welch+FollowWhy Are Realtor Fees Still So High?So, after that big real estate lawsuit, you’d think buying or selling a house would get cheaper, right? Not so fast. Commissions have barely budged—most sellers are still covering a chunk of the buyer’s agent fee, just like before. The twist? More sellers are sweetening the deal with concessions (think: covering closing costs). If you’re house hunting, don’t be shy—talk dollars, not percentages, when you negotiate your agent’s cut. It could save you real cash! #RealEstateTips #HomeBuying #MoneyHacks #CoffeeBreakFinance #RealEstate10Share
Denise Kemp+FollowSnagging a Home for Under $300K? Here’s HowDreaming of owning a home but feeling priced out? Good news: There are still big cities where you can score a house for less than $300K!

Prices aren’t skyrocketing like during the pandemic, and sellers are starting to budge on price. If you’re flexible on location, you might just find your starter home after all! #HomeBuyingHacks #RealEstateTips #AffordableLiving #FirstTimeBuyer #MoneyMoves #RealEstate00Share
Matthew Jackson+FollowIs Your Block Turning Into a Rental Row?Ever notice more 'For Rent' signs popping up, or the same property management trucks cruising your street? You might be living in the next rental hotspot. Investors are snapping up houses and turning them into rentals, which means more short-term neighbors and less of that 'everyone knows your name' vibe. If you spot these clues, it could be time to rethink your next move—whether that's buying, renting, or just keeping an eye on your home's value. #RealEstateTips #NeighborhoodWatch #MoneyMoves #RentalMarket #HomeownerHacks #RealEstate00Share
Matthew Jackson+FollowForeclosures Up: What It Means for YouSpotted: Foreclosures are creeping up, especially in South Carolina, Illinois, and Florida. Homeowners are feeling the pinch from rising costs—think higher HOA fees, insurance, and taxes. If you’re house hunting, foreclosures might mean deals, but beware of fixer-uppers and hidden costs. For current owners, it’s a reminder to keep an eye on your budget and have a rainy day fund. The silver lining? Some states are actually seeing fewer foreclosures than last year, so it’s not all doom and gloom! #RealEstateTips #MoneyHacks #HomeBuying #ForeclosureWatch #PersonalFinance #RealEstate00Share
Brad Caldwell+FollowWhy Canadians Are Ditching Florida HomesThinking of selling your Florida or Arizona getaway? You’re not alone—tons of Canadians are cashing out of their U.S. vacation homes thanks to a weak loonie, sky-high U.S. prices, and some political drama. But beware: Uncle Sam wants a cut, and the paperwork can be a nightmare. FIRPTA means up to 15% of your sale price gets held back, and getting that money back can take months (or years if you miss a form). Pro tip: Talk to a tax pro before you list, or you might be waiting a long time for your cash! #RealEstateTips #SnowbirdLife #TaxHacks #MoneyMoves #CrossBorderLiving #RealEstate125Share
Samantha Welch+FollowWhy Home Shoppers Have the Upper Hand NowThinking about buying a house? Turns out, you might have more power than you think. With fewer buyers out there, homes are sitting on the market longer, and sellers are more open to dropping prices or sweetening the deal. In places like Texas and Florida, there are more homes to choose from, so you can actually take your time and shop around. If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this could be it! #HomeBuying #RealEstateTips #MoneyHacks #HousingMarket #RealEstate00Share
Matthew Jackson+FollowWhy Now’s the Time to Haggle for a HouseHouse hunting in Canada? Good news: the market’s finally tipping in buyers’ favor. Thanks to trade war jitters, sellers are flooding the market and prices are dropping, especially in Toronto and Vancouver. If you’ve been waiting for a deal, now’s your chance to negotiate hard—think of it like scoring a Black Friday deal, but for your next home. Just remember, the uncertainty isn’t over, so don’t rush unless you spot a real bargain! #RealEstateTips #HomeBuying #CanadaHousing #MoneyHacks #RealEstate40Share
Aaron Ballard+FollowShould You Wait to Buy a House in 2025?Heads up, house hunters and sellers! Zillow says home prices might actually dip by almost 2% in 2025, which is rare news these days. If you’re looking to buy, it could pay to wait for a better deal. Sellers, though, might want to list sooner rather than later to lock in higher prices. The catch? Timing both buying and selling perfectly is tricky, so focus on what works best for your life, not just the market buzz. #HomeBuying #RealEstateTips #MoneyHacks #Zillow #HousingMarket #RealEstate20Share
Aaron Ballard+FollowWhy Homebuyers Are Holding Out Right NowDid you know the average monthly mortgage just hit a record $2,870? With rates hovering near 7%, buying a home is pricier than ever.

If you’re house hunting, you’ve got more choices and sellers are sweetening the deal with price cuts and perks. It’s a picky buyer’s market, so don’t settle for less than you want! #HomeBuying #MortgageRates #RealEstateTips #MoneyHacks #RealEstate92Share
