If you're thinking about selling your home, you've probably heard the term "months of supply" thrown around. But what does it actually mean? ⁣
⁣
Months of supply measures how long it would take to sell all available homes at the current sales pace. It's one of the clearest indicators of whether we're in a buyer's or seller's market. ⁣
⁣
Here's the breakdown: ⁣
- Less than 5 months = Seller's market (low inventory, more competition among buyers) ⁣
- 5-6 months = Balanced market ⁣
- More than 6 months = Buyer's market (more inventory, buyers have negotiating power) ⁣
⁣
Right now, inventory levels are rising in many markets across the country. According to recent NAR data, we're seeing a shift from the extreme seller's market of the past few years. This means pricing strategy, home preparation, and timing matter more than ever. ⁣
⁣
If you've been waiting for the "perfect time" to list, understanding these metrics can help you make a more informed decision about your specific situation and local market conditions. ⁣

Not every pre-listing fix needs to be big or expensive. But there are a few small repairs sellers shouldn’t ignore because buyers notice them immediately. ⁣
⁣
Here are some of the most common ones: ⁣
⁣
1. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝘂𝗰𝗲𝘁𝘀 or running toilets ⁣
Small issues like these can make buyers wonder what else hasn’t been maintained. ⁣
⁣
2. 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀, 𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀, 𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘁 hardware ⁣
They’re inexpensive to fix, but they affect how cared-for a home feels. ⁣
⁣
3. 𝗦𝗰𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁 and wall damage ⁣
Patches, touch-ups, and fresh paint in key areas can make the whole home feel cleaner and more current. ⁣
⁣
4. 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱-𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗯𝘀 or 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝘅𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 ⁣
Lighting has a huge impact on first impressions, especially in photos and showings. ⁣
⁣
5. 𝗗𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸, 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗮𝗸, 𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗹𝘆 ⁣
These are small annoyances that can make a home feel older or neglected. ⁣
⁣
None of these repairs will transform a home on their own. But together, they can reduce buyer hesitation and help your home feel better maintained from the start. ⁣
⁣
If you’re getting ready to sell, the best pre-listing strategy usually starts with the simple things first. Contact me for more information.

Buyers have moved on. Here's what's working against sellers right now: ⁣
⁣
❌ All-gray and stark white interiors ⁣
❌ Shiplap for the sake of shiplap ⁣
❌ Matching every fixture and cabinet pull to one metal finish ⁣
❌ Open shelving as a kitchen default ⁣
❌ The undifferentiated open floor plan ⁣
❌ Single-use bonus rooms — man caves, dedicated wine rooms, home theaters that can't flex ⁣
⁣
None of these will tank a sale on their own. But they can create hesitation — and hesitation shows up in longer days on market and more negotiated offers. ⁣
⁣
The good news? Most of these are fixable without a contractor. Drop a comment or send me a message and let's talk through what's actually worth addressing before you list.

One of the quieter shifts in how buyers evaluate homes is the move toward 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 — the idea that a home's layout and materials should actively support how you feel in it, not just how it looks. ⁣
⁣
Mentions of "wellness" in listings are up 33% year over year, and "spa-inspired bathrooms" climbed 22%. But the concept goes far beyond the primary bath. Biophilic design — bringing in natural light, organic materials, living plants, and visual connections to the outdoors — has become a core consideration. So has circadian lighting that shifts with the time of day, and dedicated quiet spaces designed for rest and focus. ⁣
⁣
These aren't luxury add-ons anymore. They're showing up in mainstream listings because people are prioritizing how their home makes them feel on a Tuesday afternoon, not just how it presents at a party. ⁣

Open floor plans aren't going away — but they're growing up. 🏠 ⁣
⁣
Buyers no longer want an undifferentiated box. The shift is toward semi-closed layouts: spaces that feel connected but serve a clear purpose. Subtle architectural separation between the kitchen, dining room, and living areas that maintains flow while creating intimacy. ⁣
⁣
Why the change? Remote work. When your home is also your office, privacy has real value. Dedicated home offices are one of the most requested features this year, and mentions of "reading nooks" are up 48% in listings. ⁣
⁣
If you're selling and you have a defined dining room, a separate office, or distinct living zones, don't apologize for them. Stage and describe each space as intentional. Buyers are looking for purpose, not just square footage. ⁣

Found in a barn when my Buyers purchased a beautiful farm in Maine. You can always find Better Homes & Gardens

This book is a true icon of mid-century Americana. Specifically, this is the 1951 First Edition of the Better Homes & Gardens Handyman’s Book, published by the Meredith Publishing Company. It was a "DIY bible" that shaped the post-war American suburb.
When this book debuted in May 1951, the United States was in the midst of a massive housing boom. Millions of veterans and young families were moving into new suburban developments like Levittown. These homeowners often had more ambition than experience, leading the editors to famously dedicate the book to the "Unhandyman” guy who didn't know a coping saw from a hacksaw but was determined to maintain his own "castle." It was designed to lay perfectly flat on a workbench so you could follow instructions without the book snapping shut while your hands were covered in grease or sawdust.
The interior section dividers feature the work of Lorraine Fox, a legendary mid-century illustrator. Her whimsical, flat-color style (which you can see in the "pipe-smoking handyman" on your cover) helped make the daunting world of plumbing and electrical work feel approachable and even a bit "mod." The cover (and the era) clearly depicts the man as the laborer and the woman as the "admiring observer," a dynamic that shifted in later revisions as DIY became a more gender-neutral hobby. The book was so successful that it was revised and reprinted for over 50 years. I love seeing a part of history! ♥️

Is the all-white kitchen dead? According to design professionals, yes — and what's replacing it isn't one single look, but the absence of a default. ⁣
⁣
Buyers want personalization. A kitchen that feels considered, not one that played it safe. Warm neutrals, earth tones, and wood-grain cabinetry are taking over from painted finishes. The transitional style has become the most popular direction, while the farmhouse aesthetic continues to lose ground. ⁣
⁣
What makes a kitchen stand out now? 𝗔 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸-𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆, an 𝘂𝗻𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿, a 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵 that runs floor to ceiling. These are the details that signal intention — and that's exactly what buyers are responding to in 2026. ⁣
