Selling a home in Greenville, NC
Housing market update
Pitt County, NC housing market update
NAR Residential sales report

239 homeowners listed their homes for sale. This is down a little from the previous month, maybe due to some sellers getting nervous about how long it takes to sell, *but* as you can see by the number of houses sold in July, there is a market for buyers. People want to buy, so selling is not only possible, but also likely.

I can’t stop seeing this kitchen. And I love it the same amount each time. The key to the cosy is the realness of it. It’s a pretty modern kitchen (appliances included), but the relaxed nature of books, bowls, chopping boards and flowers dotted around screams “lived in”.

Remember what I said about time? This is why I said it! Houses are still selling, they’re just taking longer than we expect; around 58 days to get a contract in July.

They’re also not selling for asking price; just a little below that. What this means for you if you’re thinking of selling: 1) Be patient, 2) Be prepared to sell for a little less than you’re asking for.

This kitchen reminds me a little of my own. It’s pretty humble with all the natural wood, and the warm light of the countertop lamp, along with the art, make it feel like a place you’d want to hang out in.

Average list price is down about $8k, and as you can see (remember the sold to list ratio?), houses are selling for a little less than that asking price.

Little tip: if you’re house is going to be listed above the average list price, it may take some more time to sell just because of general affordability.

Kind of funny to include this kitchen on the list given how utilitarian it is in style, but it’s not pretentious. It’s organized, but again, open-shelving screams “we’re relaxed here!”.

Here’s what you need to know about selling a property with a big price tag: there is a market for it. The people who have money still have money and can buy it (if

It might be time to sell if:
The age or stage of your family has changed
If you’re suddenly an empty nester, or your kids are growing older, having a space that can support that matters. No home is perfect, but yours should as realistically as possible, be one that fits your family well.

It might be time to sell if:
The same house-related arguments keep happening
I remember distinctly one argument over who was showering first and who needed to use the bathroom, so when we started house shopping you BET 3 full bathrooms were on the list. For you the argument might be who gets up from the squeezed in dining area to get the salt or the ketchup, or whether your in-laws should get your room when they come to stay (they shouldn’t!). But if it’s a regular argument, it might be time to consider the fact that your home isn’t really serving you in the ways you need it to.

It might be time to sell if:
You’re suddenly working from home
Speaking from experience here, dining table work is significantly harder when everyone is home. And if you have a young baby, working from your bedroom might not work either. Get yourself a dedicated space, and have a lot more peace of mind as a result.

It might be time to sell if:
Your real estate goals have changed.
Yes, this is a real thing. Some people think they want to live in the country and realize they want to live at the beach, or think they just want to live small, and then realize actually a home with a rentable ADU might be better. It’s okay to change your mind in line with new, better goals. Move if you need to and make those goals happen!

It might be time to sell if:
You’ve had a drastic life circumstance that requires more space.
Maybe you just got married. Maybe you’re pregnant. Maybe your merging families or an adult parent is moving in. Whether you’re going through something hard or looking to the future wi

6 questions parents always ask when buying a house*
*and my personal approach to all of them

Q: Do I want my kids to share rooms or each have their own?
A: Our kids were pretty small when we bought our current house (our youngest was 3), so it was comforting for them to be together. We opted to share, with the knowledge that at some point in the future we could scale up or renovate to get the extra room.

Q: How many bathrooms does our family need?
A: My recommendation is one bathroom for every two household members (not counting occasional guests). If you can one for one that’s great, but one for two is very livable, and I’d honestly take a floor plan with slightly smaller bedrooms if it meant we had the bathrooms we needed.

Q: Bonus room/bonus loft/or no bonus at all?
A: In our case, a bonus room was the key to survival. Yes, it’s one more room to clean, but it helped to have a place the kids toys could go that was separate from the main living space (this works 95% of the time, occasionally, one or two toys end up in the living room, but it’s nowhere near as many or as bad as it was when had no bonus).

Side note for loft considerations: noise floats. I like having a door and when kids are up there playing unsupervised or have friends over the door stays open.

Q: Big yard with room to play and roughhouse or small yard with less maintenance?
A: I can’t garden for *anything* — so glad you can’t see my house right now— so we needed low maintenance. I love the idea of fields and trees for the kids to play in, but we have a hard enough time keeping their stuff cleaned up there, so we kept it small and simple.

Q: Privacy from the kids or easy access to them?
A: This is going to depend on your kids’ age(s) and needs. We craved privacy, but I also spent the early parenting years sleeping with one eye open and one ear attuned to the baby monitor. We wanted enough distance to not have to whisper or turn the tv down at night, but we wanted to make sure we weren’t too far if they needed us and we needed to get to them.

Q: Will we have to move again?
A: Honestly this is the one I can’t answer! The truth is nobody knows! We have the space in our house to stay put and expand within the existing footprint, but that‘s not an option in every house out there. I like to advise clients to make sure they at least have the room, if not upwards then at least backward into the yard or into an attic, so that they can make space if their family needs require it. But you can’t anticipate everything, and it’s okay to move again if you need to.
