Spring is almost here in Colorado, bringing sunshine, warm days, and yes - occasional snow! While the weather might keep us guessing, the real estate market tells a different story. Spring is historically the busiest time of year, with more sellers listing their homes, increasing inventory, and creating new opportunities for buyers.
That said, an active market doesn’t mean smooth sailing for everyone. Buyers still face competition in many cases, and sellers need to put in the effort to make their homes stand out. Simply put - whether you’re buying or selling, having a solid strategy is key. Fortunately, at 8z, we offer the best modern solutions to help you succeed.
Buyers
If you’re in the market to buy, you’ve likely come to terms with today’s interest rates. That also means you’re probably looking for a move-in-ready home, avoiding major renovations or costly projects. But with so many buyers wanting the same thing, competition can be fierce. And in a competitive market, a cash offer is perhaps the strongest tool in your arsenal, often beating out higher offers that come with contingencies. Introducing 8z Cash Buy. [Learn More]
Plus, once you close, you’re not locked into today’s interest rates forever. If you finance with our partners at Collective Mortgage, their Refinance Rewards Program covers all lender and appraisal costs if you refinance within the next three years. That means if rates drop, you can take advantage without extra fees.
Sellers
For sellers, this market requires a more strategic approach than in 2021. Gone are the days when you could list any home and expect multiple offers over asking. Today, selling successfully requires thoughtful preparation, smart marketing, and expert guidance.
However, getting your home cleaned, staged and listing-ready isn’t always easy, especially with kids or pets. Wouldn’t it be nice to go buy your new home first, move in, then fully merchandise your home once it’s vacant? Well you can - and not only that, but you can utilize a full cash offer first when shopping for your new home. Introducing 8z Cash Buy Before Sell. [Learn More]
