What you may or may not know about me is that I’m always down for an adventure. From a 48-hour trip to Manhattan at Christmastime to Whitewater rafting in North Carolina to challenging myself to walk 10,000 steps every day for a solid month during a worldwide pandemic (May 2019!) . . . the more…
Ah, the end of year. I love it. The reflection. The celebration. The stats. Bring it on! One of my favorite parts of the year’s end is an escape to a quiet location to spend some time looking back, as well as some time looking forward. I’m a planner (shocker to absolutely no one who…
You know the saying, “It’s a marathon, not a sprint”? Well, nothing could be more opposite when it comes to the housing market in Tippecanoe County in 2021. WOWZERS. Noticeably, the new listing count in Tippecanoe County has been insanely low the last week or two, which I can only credit to exhausted Realtors finally…
As we wrap up 2021, I thought it would be fun to take a peek at the most expensive home sales in Tippecanoe County for the year (my criteria for this blog post was anything over $750,000). As an interesting side note, home prices are definitely up substantially over last year, even on the luxury…
What’s better than a snow day? Getting OUT IN THE SNOW! And while our downhill skiing options are hours away in Michigan, we do have some great sledding hills around Greater Lafayette. So once there’s some white powder on the ground, you’ll know exactly where to head with the kids (or without—no judgment here). Slayter…
So, I know I don’t have quite Oprah’s following, but I thought it would be fun to write a blog post about my favorite things as we go into the holiday shopping season. And, well, if you’re looking for some fun or different gifts for a 30-something lady in your life, this might be just…
As a Realtor, I’m always clearing up misconceptions about homes, and one misconception I talk about a lot is the value of home improvement projects. You may spend $15,000 on upgrading your home, but that does not mean you can list it for $15,000 more when it’s time to sell. Very few home improvements offer…
Growth. Leverage. There are so many good buzzwords out there these days when it comes to business.
I love being busy, but I don’t love being exhausted. With historically low inventory and interest rates, plus a massive buyer pool, this market has propelled Realtors into warp speed! It’s been this way for a while, and there’s no slowdown in sight.
Need a little staycation? Need a place for in-laws or friends to stay when they come to the area? I thought I’d round up some of my favorite Airbnbs in the area—go ahead and check them out! Studio in Lafayette Staycation? Need a quiet retreat, place to write, an escape from the normal? Check out…
Buying a home requires a certain amount of . . . trust. You must trust that the seller filled out the residential real estate disclosure to the best of their knowledge.
