🔍 What This Means for You

🧭 Embrace Preparedness

Buyers: Get pre-approved, know your must-haves, and act fast when the right opportunity comes.

Sellers: Now’s the time to plan, prepare, and position your property for success.

💬 Negotiation Leverage

With rising inventory and fewer sales, buyers have more room to negotiate, while sellers must stay competitive and flexible.

💰 Strategic Pricing

In today’s market, pricing right from day one is essential. Overpricing can push your home into “stale listing” territory.

🎯 Presentation Excellence

Great photos, staging, and curb appeal aren't extras — they're essentials. A well-presented home stands out and sells faster, even in a slower market.

🍂 Local Events This Month

📍Fall Harvest Market – September 13th

Celebrate the season by shopping local! Meet talented creators, farmers, bakers, and artists showcasing their best work.

📍Crowfest – September 17th–20th

A unique celebration of Chatham's feathered friends, with art, music, food, and community fun. Don't miss it!

If you have any questions about the market, are considering buying or selling, or just want to grab a coffee and talk real estate — I’m just a message away.

Wishing you a cozy and productive start to fall!
