The spring selling season is the
busiest time in real estate,

-----
Check Your Credit: Credit repair can take as little as three months. Paying down credit card balances under 30% utilization (10% is even better!) and keeping accounts open can improve your score.
Build Credit Wisely: If you don’t have credit yet, consider opening a card with a major bank – but avoid retail or gas cards, which lenders may not view as favorably.
Know Your Leverage: Higher mortgage rates mean more negotiating power for buyers. Price cuts are happening, and motivated sellers are making deals!
Price Strategically: With buyers gaining more negotiating power, setting the right price is key. Homes that are priced correctly from the start tend to sell faster.
Prepare Your Home: Make necessary repairs, declutter, and stage your home to appeal to buyers. First impressions matter!
Stay Flexible: With shifting market conditions, being open to negotiations can help secure the right deal.
