Out with the old and in with the new...in more ways than one! Do you take the time to reflect on the year just passed and plan for the one to come? It has never been so important for me as it is now. Why? In a word, CHANGE. Things change. I have changed. A little over one year ago I made a life changing decision. It was one in a series, some I was in control of, some I wasn't. This one was done with PURPOSE and I had a PLAN. It was something that had developed over the previous three years...and I am happy to report it is working!! Joining Keller Williams Cape Cod was the best thing I could have done for many reasons...and being a Realtor is fun, challenging and amazing all rolled into one! I know I am so much more too, that is the best part!

I have always joked about not knowing "what I want to be" when I grow up. I loved my job as a teacher, especially my students and co-workers, but there were parts of it that didn't fit, and even before I got laid off in the summer of 2009, I was searching for something additional. Nothing specific, but more than what I had. There are things I have learned, about myself, my family, my newest career, and the world at large this year that I am not sure I would have come across elsewhere. In no particular order, these are 10 things that I have learned in 2012. Some of these things I may have heard before, but it wasn't time for me to listen or perhaps put it into practice. I didn't create these things, they weren't mine, but they are now, and I am choosing to share, just like others have done before me, so I could benefit. Maybe now is your time to hear, or listen, as you choose...

~ Numbers matter
~ Consistency is key
~ Time block/ Prioritize
~ What you focus on expands
~ There is a fine line between competency and chaos
~ The value of a plan comes with the actions connected to it
~ Time with family and friends is important, so is time to relax and enjoy life
~ Its important to figure out what you are good at, and work on what you aren't
~ Self-improvement is an on-going process, it can be fun, and sometimes painful
~ Surround yourself with people you want to be like, watch them, ask them questions, take the time to learn from them

There is more that I took in this past year, and more I will take in this coming year. I am ever so grateful for both. I will elaborate on each of these in future posts, so stay tuned...feel free to reflect and share.

WANT TO SELL?? TO WAIT OR NOT TO WAIT ~ WHAT IS THE ANSWER??

I WANT TO SELL MY HOME ~ SHOULD I WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE HOLIDAYS??

Call Nichole R. Willey at 508.737.3567 with questions or to schedule a private appointment. www.aboutcapecodma.com is your real estate resource for finding the perfect home!

Ultimately, that is up to you, but you should keep a couple of things in mind, especially if you want top dollar for your home, and who doesn't, right? There are 4 main reasons to list in winter or near holidays...

1. Smaller Buyer Pool ~ What? Less buyers? Yes, less buyers, which means less showings to deal with, however the buyers that are currently out (buying) are serious buyers who have to buy now. They are not "lookie -loos" who aren't sure if and when they want to purchase. 

2. Less Competition ~ Everyone else is of the same thought, "Let's wait." So, there are less homes on the market, which means less competition, and higher prices according to the laws of economics, right...and you get a say in when the property transfers, so the closing can be scheduled for a time that is convenient for you...Imagine listing now and closing after the holidays...perfection! 

3. Low Interest Rates ~ Not just low, but historically low, which means buyers have more buying power right now than ever before. What does that mean for you...buyers that have a certain amount of money they are willing to spend will be able to purchase a higher priced home right now.  Homes in this market are selling for approximately 95% of list price, or higher, on average! And in many instances, multiple offers are coming in, which is also driving up prices. If interest rates change just a half a point, the buyer's purchasing power drops by tens of thousands of dollars respectively. Keep in mind that many agents are saying they are seeing steady or increased buyer activity right now, so if you want to sell, and get top dollar, don't wait...take advantage of the current market, there is no guarantee it will stay the same or improve.

4. Aesthetics are never better ~ Most people love the holidays, and when does a person's home look better than at the holidays!? Your house will look fantastic decked out for the season! 





Don't miss the out on the opportunity to get the most money for your home in the least amount of time possible...
