Did You Know?

Data shows 24% of agents say an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), like a mother-in-law suite, is one of the most in-demand home features today – and for good reason.

An ADU gives you a separate living space for your family on your land – which is a great option if you have aging parents you want to keep close. An ADU also sets you up to generate rental income that can help you pay your mortgage payment.

What’s your motivation for exploring ADUs? Let me know and I’ll help you find the best fit for your needs.

With more homes for sale and buyers regaining some negotiation power, it may be a good idea to offer a concession if you’re trying to sell. Data shows 1 in 4 sellers did in 2024.

Giving your buyer money toward closing costs or adjusting the price for repairs could be what allows you to flip that sign in your yard from “for sale” to “sold”.
