Buying a home is a significant investment and a crucial decision for anyone. One of the best ways to make the most out of your home buying experience is to attend open houses. Open houses are a great opportunity to see the property in person, get a feel for the neighborhood, and ask any questions you may have. However, to get the most out of an open house, it's important to know what to look for and what questions to ask. In this blog post, we'll share some tips for home buyers on how to make the most out of viewing a property at an open house.

In all, I am starting the year off with 11 written goals. Five are work related, six are personal related. Once accomplished, I will be looking back at a fulfilling 2023 that resulted in a happier, healthier, and more accomplished me. What about you, do you enjoy setting written goals for yourself? If so and you’re up to it, message me what some of yours are for the year to come. I’d love to hear from you!

This is promising news to me and I’m excited by the opportunities that the current market is presenting real estate buyers and investors. Over the next weeks I’ll be working on my goals for 2023, and I think adding at least one new rental in the Sacramento area over the next 12 months will be one of those goals. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or interests you have as they relate to real estate.

The hypothetical rental I was considering at the time was a three-bedroom, two full bathroom home with 1,600 square feet of living space on a 0.16-acre sized lot in an average neighborhood. The median price for a detached single-family home in February of 2021 was $440,000. Rent rates were estimated at $1.25 per square foot, which put our generic home at $2,000 per month.

In addition to the more attractive pricing seen in the condo market, there also is more of a balance at the negotiating table between buyers and sellers than currently exists in the single family home market. Price and balance are two strong influences that should prove this prediction to be accurate.
