Is it fall already… or are we all just ready for it? September has that official “back at it” energy. Summer’s powering down, routines are kicking in, football is back (Go Birds!), pumpkin spice is about to be everywhere, and the air has just a hint of that early-fall crispness. I’m leaning right into it—here’s your fall scoop on local events, market updates, and a few helpful home tips.
Market at a Glance (Past 30 Days: Camden & Burlington Counties)
$436,000 average sales price
962 sold listings
29 average days on market
Sellers: why some homes are stalling right now
With inventory up, buyers have more choices and homes are sitting longer. The most common culprits I’m seeing:
Overpricing to “leave room” for negotiation
Skipping professional photos (first impressions matter!)
Ignoring small repairs (buyers assume bigger issues are hiding)
Not prepping for the first weekend—momentum is everything right now
If you’re thinking of selling this fall, I’ll help you price strategically, polish the presentation, and build that crucial Day-1 buzz.
Buyers: what happens when you reach out
Here’s how we’ll get you from “curious” to “confident”:
Quick chat or coffee to answer questions, talk timeline, and map the process.
Friendly lender intros (zero pressure) so you can clarify budget and get pre-approved—or just learn your numbers and keep saving.
Must-have list to define the non-negotiables early (future you will thank us).
Neighborhood fit based on budget, commute, schools, and the amenities you love.
Whether your move is in 2 months or 2 years, I’m here as a resource.
