Market Update(Valentine’s Edition) ❤️

Love is in the air…and so is buyer activity.

The market is showing steady momentum right now. Well-priced homes are still moving, especially in desirable neighborhoods. While buyers are more strategic than they were a few years ago, they’re serious,and prepared when the right home hits the market.

📊 Wake County Market by the Numbers
• Median home price in Wake County is roughly $460K – $490K depending on the data source, with homes selling around 55-60+ days on market, which is up compared to last year. This just meaning buyers are taking a bit more time and making considered offers.
• Buyers now see more inventory and more choices than in past years, with listing counts rising ~25+% and days on market increasing, which is simply a sign the market is BALANCING.
• Sellers still see value, a solid median sale price and continued demand.

What that means for sellers:
• Pricing correctly matters more than EVER
• Presentation and marketing are KEY
• Homes that show well are still attracting strong offers-you just can’t always rely on “bidding wars” like in prior boom years

What that means for buyers:
• There’s more opportunity to negotiate than during peak frenzy years
• Inventory has improved compared to recent winters
• The right strategy still wins in multiple-offer situations-so make sure you have an agent in your corner

❤️Why Valentine’s + This Market Matter❤️

Spring and early summer are traditionally peak buying seasons. If you’re looking to fall in love with a new home or settle it before summer hits, the timing and data could line up in your favor.

Whether you’re falling in love with a new home this month, or thinking about letting one go, understanding today’s market is everything.

If you’re curious what your home is worth this February, I’m happy to run the numbers and discuss your options. I would love to answer your questions. Let’s grab a coffee or a Diet Coke and see if timing is right for you!❤️🏡

Happy Valentine’s Day!❤️

✨ It’s time to go Boujie on a Budget! ✨

In all my years of Realtor’in🏡, I’ve seen some seriously smart upgrades that completely transform a home—without draining your wallet.

If you're looking to give your space a fresh, elevated feel, here are a few of my favorite budget-friendly updates:

💧Replace faucets + cabinet hardware

Swap out dated pieces for modern finishes like matte black or brushed gold.💰Estimated cost: $150–$400 for a kitchen faucet, $5–$25 per cabinet pull (this can make a BIG difference).

🚪Upgrade door k***s + hardware

Say goodbye to the old school brass and hello to sleek, modern handles.💰Estimated cost: $28 per interior door k**b, $31 for privacy locks

💡Switch out builder-grade switch plates

It’s a small detail—but trust me, it will make a big impact. 💰Estimated cost: $5–$25 per plate depending on design

🧺 Refresh rugs

Try sites like Rugs USA or Loloi (on Amazon!)—they carry stunning collections with designer collabs like Rifle Paper Co. and Arvin Olano. 💰Estimated cost: Around $189 for a 5x8 rug

I’m a HUGE fan of small affordable changes that go a long way. Want more ideas like these? Shoot me a message—I’d love to share what local DIYers I know are taking on right now. Let's make your home feel boujie without breaking the bank.🏡❤️
