Into the Weekend - July 8th, 2022

Is anyone hot yet?  I'd love to tell you that my weekend plans involve lots of time outside but the warm reality is that may be limited to early morning walks with my Golden Retriever, Corky.   In this week's note, I've shared my most recent video, some thoughts around renovating your home for sale, and my usual market musing.  Whatever you're up to, I hope it's a great weekend.    -Matt Local Happenings TAYLOR SWIFT TRIBUTE: RED You Need To Calm Down & snag your ticket now for this amazing live tribute to Taylor Swift: Red!  It could be the perfect night to dress up like hipsters and jam out to the ultimate Taylor Swift tribute.

Saturdays, 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM My Latest Video What is a Seller Lease-Back? If you've been in the market these last couple years, you've heard this term:  Seller Lease-Back.  But what exactly is that and why might one do it?  Find out in this week's video.   Lifestyle Tips & Tricks Should You Renovate Your Home  Before Putting It on the Market? There's a big difference between renovating a home and updating it. The former involves a more dramatic execution-knocking down walls or retiling an entire bathroom. Updating is making cosmetic changes such as painting a kitchen or replacing a light fixture. Renovating is, obviously, much more expensive and time-consuming than updating, and that's why many sellers resist it when they're listing their home. But before making any major renovations, ask your real-estate pro if the money you plan to spend can be recouped in the selling price.
