What’syourhome reallyworthin today’smarket?
That's the question you should be asking yourself.
Our market is incredibly diverse and rapidly changing. Values vary not just by neighborhood but by street. Your home isn't necessarily worth what your neighbors' home is. It's the current market that sets the value of your home.
So, do you know what your home is worth in today's market?

ReasonsToSellYourHouse BeforetheNewYear
As the year winds down, you may have decided it’s time to make a move and put your house on the market. But should you sell now or wait until January? While it may be tempting to hold off until after the holidays, here are three reasons to make your move before the new year.
Get One Step Ahead of Other Sellers
Typically, in the residential real estate market, homeowners are less likely to list their houses toward the end of the year. That’s because people get busy around the holidays and sometimes deprioritize selling their house until the start of the new year when their schedules and social calendars calm down. But that gives you an opportunity to get one step ahead.
Selling now, while other homeowners may hold off until after the holidays, can help you get a leg up on your competition. Start the process with a real estate agent today so you can get your house on the market before your neighbors do.
Get Your House in Front of Eager Buyers
Even though the supply of homes for sale did grow compared to last year, it’s still low. That means there aren’t enough homes on the market today. While some buyers may also delay their plans to move until January, others will still need to move for personal reasons or because something in their life has changed.
Those buyers are still going to be active later this year and will be seriously motivated to make their move happen because they need to. Unfortunately, the challenge they’ll face is a shortage of available inventory to meet their needs. A recent article from Investopedia says:
“. . . if your house is up for sale in the winter and someone is looking at it, chances are that person is serious and ready to buy. Anyone shopping for a new home between Thanksgiving and New Year’s is likely going to be a serious buyer. Putting your home on the market at this time of year and attracting a serious buyer can often result in a quicker sale.”
Use Your Equity To Fuel Your Move
Keep in mind that homeowners today have record amounts of equity. According to CoreLogic, the average amount of equity per mortgage holder has climbed to almost $290,000. That means the equity you have in your house right now could cover some, if not all, of a down payment on the home of your dreams.
And as you weigh the reasons to sell before year-end, it’s important to remember the reasons that sparked your desire to move in the first place. Maybe it’s time for a new home in a location that suits you better, one that offers the perfect space for you and your loved ones, or maybe your needs have evolved over time. A local real estate agent can help you determine how much home equity you have and how you can use it to achieve your goal of making a move.

Will dark cabinets make a kitchen too dark?
FIVE Designer Tips
on making moody shades work
Keeptherestofyour kitchenspacelight andbright
Five Designe Tips
Kitchens with ample natural light are more suitable for dark cabinet colors. If your kitchen lacks this, don't avoid dark colors entirely. Instead, focus on adding light elements elsewhere.
Striketheright balancewithlightning
Achieving balance in room design is essential, especially when combining strikingly colored cabinets with a mix of well-considered kitchen lighting.
Considerthesizeof yourspace
Favorglassand reflectivesurfaces
In a spacious, well-lit kitchen, dark cabinets add sophistication and coziness without crowding the space. Yet, in a smaller kitchen, they can absorb light and create a cramped feel
Opt for glass-fronted cabinets and reflective finishes to brighten up the space effectively.
Adornthespace thoughtfullytolighten thefinish
In Kitchens with bold cabinet finishes, decor plays a crucial role. Open shelving and glass cabinet doors to break the visual heaviness of dark cabinets and create contrast with lighter-colored items.
