The Matt Stark Podcast

Thinking about remodeling before you sell? Most sellers assume the kitchen or bathrooms are where the money should go, but that's usually the most expensive mistake you can make. In this video, I walk through the three rules I use with my sellers and a real example of how we turned a beat-up home into a strong sale without a single major renovation. Watch my video to see where your money actually counts.

How much has the market actually shifted from where it was a year ago? Through the end of April, inventory in the Greater Northwest is up almost 50% year over year, with new listings rising and closed sales pulling back. In this video, I break down exactly what's driving the shift, where we stand between a buyer's market and a seller's market, and what it means for pricing right now. The answer might be more balanced than you'd expect. Watch my video to see the numbers.

With inventory at its highest level since 2018 to 2019 and homes sitting on the market longer, low offers are becoming a regular part of the selling process right now. It's frustrating when a buyer comes in well below the asking price, but how you respond can make or break the deal. In this video, I’ll walk you through three things every seller should keep in mind when a lowball offer comes in: how to evaluate it beyond just the price, how to counter with data and confidence, and when to walk away. Watch my video to see how to handle low offers without giving up your position.
