✨ Thinking of Selling in the Next Year or Two? Here’s Where to Focus Your Remodeling Dollars! ✨

According to the 2025 Remodeling Impact Report from the National Association of REALTORS®, not all home projects are created equal when it comes to resale value. While full kitchen or bathroom renovations are appealing, smaller updates often deliver the best return on investment.

📌 Top Projects with the Highest Cost Recovery:
✅ New steel front door: 100% return
✅ Closet renovation: 83%
✅ New fiberglass front door: 80%
✅ New vinyl windows: 74%
✅ Basement or attic conversions: 67–71%

Why this matters: Buyers love move-in ready homes, but sellers don’t need to overspend to make an impact. Even a simple front door swap or fresh coat of paint can boost value and buyer appeal.

And don’t forget the joy factor! Homeowners also reported high satisfaction with upgrades that improved functionality and energy efficiency—even before selling.

👉 Thinking about selling? I can help you prioritize the right improvements so you maximize your return without unnecessary stress.

📊 Market Pulse Update – September 2025

The real estate market is always shifting, and here’s what’s shaping things right now:

🏡 Mortgage Rates at a 10-Month Low – The 30-year fixed rate averaged 6.59% in August. Lower rates can bring more buyers back into the market and give sellers confidence to list.

📉 Pending Home Sales – Down slightly month-to-month but up compared to last year. This shows buyer demand is still strong, even if contracts are moving more cautiously.

🏠 New Home Sales – Flat due to affordability concerns, but builders are responding with incentives like rate buydowns and upgrade packages. This creates opportunities for buyers who are flexible.

💵 Inflation & Jobs Report – Core inflation is steady, but all eyes are on Friday’s jobs report. If the labor market cools, rates may ease further, which could help both buyers and sellers.

👉 Bottom Line: The market doesn’t move in a straight line, but opportunity exists. Whether you’re buying or selling, it’s all about strategy—pricing right, staying prepared, and understanding how these shifts impact your goals.

I’m Denise Steigers with Coldwell Banker, and I’m here to help you navigate the market with clarity and confidence.

⏳ How Long Does It Take to Buy a House?

Unlike online shopping, there’s no “Buy Now” button in real estate. Buying a home is a process that takes patience and several steps along the way.

According to a recent Bankrate article, the average time from contract to closing was 44 days as of October 2024. That’s in addition to the time it takes to:
✅ Get preapproved for a mortgage
✅ Search for the right home
✅ Make an offer and negotiate
✅ Schedule inspections and finalize financing

Even though it can feel like a lot, don’t worry—working with an experienced Realtor can help you avoid delays and keep things moving smoothly.

If buying a home is in your 2025 goals, I’d love to walk you through the process step by step. Call or text me at (360) 451-3549—I’m here to help!
