As we wrap up 2024, it’s the perfect time to start thinking ahead about your real estate plans for 2025 and beyond. Whether you’re planning to upgrade, downsize, renovate, or move to a new location, now is the time to start strategizing. At Live.Laugh., we like to say, whether your goals are 30 days or 30 months away, it’s never too soon to start strategizing. Here are some questions to get you started!:
1) What’s working (or not) in your current space?
Evaluate your home. Are there areas you love? Spaces that no longer fit your needs? Could renovations or upgrades make your home more functional or increase its value for a future sale?
2) Are you up to date on market trends?
Have you followed interest rate changes, market activity, or local inventory levels? Understanding these trends can help you decide when it’s the best time for YOU to make your move! Like anything in real estate, your best timing is based on your unique goals.
3) How’s your financial health looking?
Have you reviewed your budget? Is your credit score in a good place? Do you have a plan for your next down payment or renovations? Could assistance programs or grants help you reach your goals?
4) Who’s on your team?
Do you have a trusted real estate expert to help you strategize? (ahem, that’s me) Are you planning to move out of state or internationally? If so, have you connected with vetted agents in your target area? We can help you find the perfect fit anywhere in the world.
5) Have you considered the value of potential updates?
If you’re staying put for now, could small home improvements like a kitchen update, fresh landscaping, or a bathroom refresh make your home more enjoyable and valuable? Thinking ahead about these updates can pay off when it’s time to sell.
Big moves—and even small updates—are best approached with a plan. As we step into 2025, let’s create a roadmap that aligns with your goals. Whether you're buying, selling, investing, or renovating, we’re here to support you every step of the way. Ready to begin? Reach out today for a no-obligation strategy session!
