Buyer and seller guidance
Buyers should start with a budget, loan pre-approval, and a short list of areas that fit daily needs. Compare current listings and recent sales before writing an offer. Verify school assignment, HOA documents, property condition, inspections, loan estimate, and contract terms for the exact property.
Sellers should start with a condition review, current comparable sales, active competition, and a desired timeline. A citywide median does not establish a home’s value. Compare net proceeds, financing strength, timing, and contract risk when evaluating offers.
