More New Listings Are Hitting the Market – Especially in These 5 Places

Read More....3 Things to Know When Selling a Home This Spring
Spring is the season of new beginnings. And that’s especially true for the many people who sell their home during this time of year. Ready to enter the market this spring? keep these three things in mind: 1. Data shows bustling market activityFrom February to March, home sales were up 23% across the U.S., according to the latest REMAX National Housing Report which surveyed the real estate trends of 50 U.S. metro areas. The nationwide median sales price in March – $435,000 – was $8,000 higher than one month earlier, too. Also of note: In that same time frame, new listings jumped up 29.8% and total housing inventory – the overall number of homes for sale – grew 8%. The findings show both supply and demand seeing momentum on a countrywide scale as spring rolls along. 2. Spring curb appeal is criticalCurb appeal is an important factor of selling a home any time of year – after all, the outside of your place is often where people form their first impressions, whether in online listing photos or an in-person tour. During the spring, however, there’s more opportunity to spruce up the home’s outdoor space and get creative. Make sure to prioritize curb appeal when selling this spring. For a clean appearance, mow the lawn, trim any overgrown shrubs or trees, remove weeds beginning to sprout (especially from walkway areas), get rid of any debris – like sticks and leaves – that are lingering from previous seasons, apply fresh mulch to plant beds, clear the gutters, and sweep the front porch and steps. If grass is mainstay outside your home, support its growth and health by getting back on a routine watering schedule and overseeding to promote fullness. Other exterior upgrades can make a big impact on prospective buyers, too. Powering washing the outside of the home and touching up any chipped paint will give it a fresh appearance. And consider adding flowerpots with bright blooms, a new welcome mat, upgraded porch lights, and even a refreshed address plaque. These swaps can help showcase the home as well cared for, and make visitors excited to step inside and see more. 3. A real estate agent can make all the differenceSelling a home is a significant milestone – and it’s best to not go it alone. A trusted real estate agent can bring robust skills, invaluable experience, innovative strategies and more to the table and help ensure a smooth sale. They’ll guide you through the process and go to bat on your behalf every step of the way. Good news: REMAX agents have more real estate sales experience than other agents, and they have the experience needed to get the job done in today’s market. Because of that, REMAX agents help hundreds of thousands of families buy or sell a home each year. If you’re looking to sell a home this spring, get in touch with a local REMAX agent today.

Read More....5 Eco-Friendly Ideas for a More Sustainable Home
Looking to go green at home? If you’re searching for ways to curate a more sustainable space, check out these five eco-friendly ideas: 1. Conduct an energy auditA home energy audit is an effective way to assess how energy is currently being used in your place, and determine how to optimize functionality in order to save on utility bills. When a professional conducts the audit, they’ll likely take a close look at things like the HVAC system, lighting, appliances, doors, windows, insulation, and more, and suggest efficient solutions to any issues that arise – like air leakage, which can be costly. 2. Implement smart home technologyAccording to the National Association of REALTORS®, 82% of homebuyers surveyed in their 2024 Profile of Homebuyers and Sellers report labeled potential heating and cooling costs as important considerations when purchasing a home. After conducting an energy audit and addressing any air leaks, you may decide to upgrade to a smart thermostat, which offers a more customized approach to heating and cooling a home. Many of these digital control systems allow you to customize a temperature schedule to help avoid wasting hot or cold air. They’re also often are paired with a smart phone app, allowing you to adjust your home’s temperature when you’re away. If you’re upgrading your fixtures with more energy-efficient lightbulbs, check out LED-powered smart bulbs with color-changing and hue-adjusting technology. These can typically be controlled by an app, too, for when you need to make adjustment on the go. 3. Learn local recycling rulesRecycling remains a great way to repurpose existing materials. But in order to make sure the items you dispose of – like cardboard boxes or glass jars – have a better chance of actually being recycled, it’s important to brush up on local rules and regulations, and heed them correctly. Visit your town, city or county’s government website for details pertaining to the recyclable items they accept, like how to empty them properly and what requirements are for sorting them. Other unwanted household items can be repurposed, too. Make an effort to donate gently used clothing, furniture, décor and more . Unopened, unexpired food items may be of use to a local food pantry. And check with the local animal shelter to see if they are in need of old sheets and towels, which can be used to make kennels more comfortable. 4. Add reusable items to your daily routinesCertain simple swaps around the house can limit the need for single-use products. Examples may include swapping paper towels for cloth options, plastic produce bags for mesh alternatives, or traditional grocery bags for reusable ones. 5. Xeriscape the yardXeriscaping is a lower-maintenance, artful landscaping design that requires significantly less water usage than a traditional lawn. It can be an especially helpful option for people who live in drier climates, or for those simply looking to diversify their outdoor space with a wider array of flora and fauna. If you’re ditching a traditional lawn, try implementing plants intended to thrive in xeric conditions, like cacti, succulents, ground plants and desert-dwelling flowers – and get creative with rocks to support these plants and fill space. Stop by a local gardening center and ask what greenery is native to your area. Some of these variants may be great choices for your xeriscaping journey – and they could also benefit members of the local ecosystem, like butterflies, pollinating bees and other essential bugs.

Read More....RE/MAX Report: Home Sales Up 23% This Spring
The start of spring 2025 was marked by a significant uptick in home selling activity across the U.S. From February to March, nationwide home sales increased a whopping 23%. That was a big takeaway from the latest RE/MAX National Housing Report, which surveyed the real estate trends of 50 metro areas. This edition of the monthly report found upward movement in several other housing metrics as well. [embed]https://youtube.com/watch?v=h4bOzP5zWB4&si=h9mDKtLlFuxusTjI[/embed] Curious about what’s happening in the market? RE/MAX is sharing these insights: New listings are contributing to growing inventoryHomebuyers entering the market this season are likely finding more options to choose from. March saw a 29.8% increase in new listings compared to the month prior, and nearly an 8% increase of the same metric compared to one year prior. These new listings contributed to the country’s growing inventory – the overall quantity of homes for sale, including listings rolling over from previous months. In March, total housing inventory was up 8% from February. Plus, inventory was 35.5% higher than March 2024. This elevated inventory is one contributing factor to the nationwide rise in home sales. Home prices are going upAcross the board, home prices appear to be on the rise, too. The median sales price in March was $435,000, nearly $8,000 higher than February and a significant $15,000 higher than March 2024. Like all market metrics, outcomes can vary greatly by location. For example, when it comes to median home sale prices, Burlington, Vermont, saw a 22.4% increase in March, whereas Honolulu, Hawaii, saw a 4.5% decrease in March. The pace of home sales is seeing momentumThe pace of sales is picking up this spring. The RE/MAX report for March found that homes across the U.S. were spending an average of 44 days on the market before selling, which is seven days shorter than in February. Erik Carlson, CEO of RE/MAX Holdings, says the current market has plenty of bright spots for prospective homebuyers and sellers. “As we enter the prime homebuying season, the uptick in sales and inventory may lead to even more positive market activity,” he says. “With a relatively good supply of homes for sale, and rates holding with signs of some improvement, many buyers are finding current market conditions to be the most favorable they’ve seen in the past few years.” When these buyers and sellers are ready to enter the spring or summer market, they’re wise to work with a trusted real estate professional – one who can leverage their experience and expertise to help ensure a smooth transaction.

Browsing for a new place to call home is exciting. What’s more exciting? Finally finding “the one” – and imagining all of the memories yet to be made there. During your house search process, here’s how to know if you’ve come across an offer-worthy spot. The home has your essentialsWhen looking for a home, it’s smart to view some features as must-haves and others as nice-to-haves. For example, you might need a certain number of bedrooms, whereas cosmetic upgrades, or extras like a pool, might be among the things you want but can live without. If location is the top priority, you may need to compromise on some home features. If you have more flexibility in terms of location, you can expand your property search and have more inventory to choose from. Price is another important component – and it’s important for a house to be a good fit financially. Is a prospective home in your price range, especially after factoring in things like mortgage interest, insurance and potential HOA dues? Does it need renovations – and if so, what do those costs look like? Ponder questions like these as you zero in on a potential new home. The home helps you achieve your goalsYou might be searching for a forever home – or you could be looking for one that would suit your lifestyle for the next several years. Either way, when considering if a property is the best fit, make sure it aligns with your personal goals. An example: If you’re hoping to expand your family or have relatives move in to create a multigenerational household, determine whether the place you’re considering can support those plans. The home suits the needs of those who will live thereIt’s important that the home meets the needs of all stakeholders making the purchase, as well as those who will live there. Check that everyone is agreement and can envision their future in the home. This is true for kids and pets, too. Does the property have outdoor space? Or is it nearby to parks and outdoor recreation opportunities? Does it have a fence for four-legged friends who might be a flight risk – or a patio for those who like to catch some rays? Consider what features make sense for you and your loved ones. The home makes you happyBuying a home is an incredible milestone. In fact, it’s likely the largest transaction you’ll make in your lifetime. And being a homeowner can come with great perks, like stability, equity, freedom to get creative, and so much more. If the thought of owning a certain home makes you jump for joy, then it might just be “the one.” Starting the home search process? Connect with a local REMAX agent today.
