Kristin LaVanway On Downtown Mesa, The Importance of Hyper-Local Market Data & Why It’s Still a Great Time to Buy

Are we in a buyer’s market, a seller’s market or somewhere in between? Honestly, it depends on the market you’re looking to buy or sell in. Contrary to what you’re hearing on the news, we don’t have blanket market conditions; things look different in different areas. In fact, you can have one small pocket experiencing a buyer’s market and another pocket nearby seeing something way more balanced. 

Having a successful real estate transaction right now means focusing less on what’s happening nationally, and paying more attention to what’s happening on a hyper-local, granular level and aligning it with what you actually want. If you’re going about it wisely, with the right data and information, this is actually a great time to buy. There are so many things present in the market right now that actually make for a lot of great opportunities. 

Kristin LaVanway believes you can buy a home right now and come out ahead of the game. Interest rates may be high, and appreciation might not be what it once was, but you’ll still be a winner. In this episode, she tells us about her favorite places in Arizona,  setting yourself up for success in a transaction and her side-gig as a comedian!
