Life & Real Estate | January 2023
Hello friends, Cheers to 2023!
We hope you all had an enjoyable holiday spent with family and friends! A new year is a new opportunity, full of possibility, hope, and potential.
While it may seem that January would be a slow month in real estate, we are already gearing up to add many new homes to the market. So, if you are considering selling your home, beat the Spring market and give us a call today! And if you’re starting to think about a new home, more inventory means better odds of additional negotiations.
As we begin a New Year, we hope that 2023 will bring you many blessings! To quote Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.”
Check out some of the numbers below “in review” and we’ll bring you year-end comparisons in February’s newsletter.
Happy New Year from all of us at
Linda Trevor & Co. of Compass

WE are 100% Confident that we can provide a more accurate Home Valuation than ANY online generic data. What WE provide that an algorithm can’t:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
◉ Accurate data around recently closed sales of similar properties.
◉ Accurate data around recently SIGNED contracts of similar properties.
◉ Specific current overall market conditions.
◉ Specific local market conditions and shared recent examples of sales activity.
◉ Knowledge of inventory levels: what are you potentially competing against and how do you compare?
◉ Assessment of condition of the property.
◉ Recommendations for design of the property and how current/translatable it is. Including furnishings.
◉ Accounting for quality of the setting and neighboring properties.
◉ Weight of quality of the area/town/city/suburb.
