📊 Understand the Current Market

Let’s start with the facts:

• Inventory in Houston is up over 30% year-over-year, according to HAR.

• Average Days on Market is now around 44 days—homes aren’t flying off the shelf like they used to.

• Prices are steady, but not accelerating; buyers are more cautious and selective.

The takeaway? Homes are still selling, but they need to be priced right and marketed smartly.

🏡 Tip #1: Price Strategically

In a softening market, pricing your home based on last year’s boom won’t work. Overpricing can cause your listing to sit—and lead to price reductions later.

Solution: I conduct a hyper-local market analysis to help you price competitively from day one, attracting serious buyers and minimizing time on market.

✨ Tip #2: Focus on Presentation

With more homes to choose from, today’s buyers are picky. Your home needs to make a strong first impression—online and in person.

My advice:

• Declutter and deep clean

• Consider professional staging

• Refresh landscaping and curb appeal

A few small investments can lead to a much better return.

📷 Tip #3: Maximize Your Marketing

Gone are the days when a yard sign and MLS listing were enough. To stand out, your home needs multi-channel marketing, including:

• Professional photos & video

• Targeted social media ads

• Email blasts to my buyer network

• HAR, Zillow, Realtor.com, and more

As your listing agent, I ensure your property reaches the right audience fast.

📅 Tip #4: Be Flexible and Responsive

In a slower market, showing availability and a willingness to negotiate can make the difference between a sale and a missed opportunity.

Buyers today may ask for repairs, concessions, or help with closing costs. I guide you through the negotiation process to protect your interests while keeping the deal alive.

🧾 Tip #5: Probate or Inherited Home? Start With a Plan

If you’re selling an estate or inherited property, preparation is even more important. As a Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist (CPRES), I can help you:

• Coordinate with attorneys and heirs

• Manage property cleanup and prep

• Ensure smooth communication throughout the sale

Probate sales often require extra care, timing, and legal coordination—and I specialize in exactly that.
