Rumor has it…
Most people who keep tabs on all the neighborhood gossip do it for free. Apparently, they’ve been leaving money on the table.

A woman in Colombia has turned knowing everybody’s business into an actual business, charging people to hear the latest local gossip, with the juicier gossip commanding higher prices.

She claims it’s been lucrative enough to help her buy two houses.

Who knew word on the street could lead to owning a piece of it?
 
 
But is it the best week for you to buy?
You may see headlines claiming that the “best week to buy a home” is coming up soon.

Is it though? It might be. But just because it may be the best week statistically doesn’t mean it’s the best week for you.

But if the idea of the “best week to buy” being right around the corner got you even the least bit excited, you might want to check out this article I recently published.
 
 
 
 
“How’s the market?”
I get that question a lot, and I’m always happy to answer it! But there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. That’s why this newsletter doesn’t include weekly stats or price updates.

Besides, most people don’t care about real estate data until it actually matters to them. So instead of stats, I just try to keep this fun and entertaining.

Curious about a specific house? Wonder what your place is worth? Or just want a quick market snapshot?

Just hit reply and ask me! I’m always glad to give you any information, thoughts, or data you want. (And of course, no obligation or pressure! I love any opportunity to talk about the market.)
 
 
Trivia Time

1)  The Ownership Illusion

2)  The Endowment Effect

3)  Seller’s Syndrome

4)  The Anchoring Trap

Click the answer you think is correct.
 
 
4 things that are hard for agents to prove to sellers
There are certain things agents can tell a seller from experience, but can’t necessarily prove until after they’ve sold their house.

Unfortunately, that’s also when they may realize they should’ve listened.

From holding out for a better offer to trying to perfectly time the market, here are 4 pieces of advice that can be difficult for an agent to prove until it’s too late.
 
 
The fact is…
On second thought, you probably don’t want this LEGO house falling into your lap either.

That wraps it up for this week!
Be on the lookout for the next one!
