Plano’s Already Hitting Its Resolutions to be in “Top” Lists in the Country for 2020!

We are just a few weeks into the new year. How are you doing on your resolutions? Yes. We hear you. It’s not easy to stay on them. Most people have dropped most of their resolutions by now. We bet if the City of Plano made any resolutions, one would be to ‘Stay Accredited!’ This one is not as easy as it sounds, though.

Year after year our citizens and local government work hard to make it happen!

We’re closing the first month of the year and we’re already on two lists!

Movin’ On Up

Finding a better job is a top resolution for many people each new year.

It’s a good time to be on the job market. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ most recent jobs report, the national unemployment rate is 3.6 percent, just a bit higher than the 50-year low of 3.5% seen in September 2019.

Collin County Homes for Sale

College graduates, especially, will see a strong boost in their job prospects. According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, employers plan to hire 5.8 percent more members from the Class of 2020 than from the previous graduating class.

What kind of work you find and how many jobs are available rely heavily on location. Statics vary greatly from coast to coast. WalletHub compared more than 180 U.S. cities across 31 key indicators of job-market strength. They range from job opportunities to employment growth to monthly average starting salary.

Plano placed 12th in the country’s “Best Places to Work” list.

Congratulations Plano! An area with a strong work for and low unemployment rates are positive key indicators for anyone looking to move into the area.

This bodes well for the local real estate market!

Resolute Resolutions

We’ve established that where you live can affect the kind of job you land. It can also affect how well you keep your New Year’s resolutions.

Whether they’re healthy, smart, ridiculous or mundane, humans have been promising to make better versions of themselves each new year for millennia.

Whether you decide to give up bubble gum or loose 20 pounds, you’re echoing ancient Babylonian traditions. Not that they blew bubble gum in 4,000 B.C but they were the first to actually celebrate the new year.

They celebrated it in March when the spring crops were planted. It wasn’t until we started looking to the heavens in 46 B.C. when an astronomer named Sosigenes convinced Julius Caesar to begin the new year in January. (You know…because..horoscopes.)

Open Houses in Collin County

This year housemethod.com voted Plano the 10th best city in the US for keeping your new years’ resolutions.

You might be thinking that this accolade isn’t a bid deal. You might also be thinking that January has already done in both you and your resolutions.

Hear us out on this one.

This award is one who’s parts are worth more than their sum.

The factors that were taken into account for this list say a lot about the areas themselves. It looked at the average rankings on:

Cities that ranked high in each of these categories tended to keep their resolutions. Each category was given equal weight towards it’s overall score.

Put It All Together

Think about the amazing picture this paints for Plano!

We’re a place where people eat healthier, exercise more, save money and aren’t as frayed from stress as other areas. This is you can get up and slap January back, get back on your resolutions and meet your goals!

You can do it. You’re in great company!

These 2020 Top 10 Color Trends Can Be a Seller’s Worst Nightmare!

Every year there are new color trends that take center stage in our homes. When it comes to decor, paint is a key component. Selling a home is another matter though. Here color can be your worst enemy.

Never take a chance on color when you’re selling your home. There’s nothing worse than having a possible sale evaporate over a color pallet. Changing the paint on the walls is one of the easiest upgrades a new buyer can do to a home.

It’s not always easy to convince them of that. It’s hard to believe but colors can make a person fall out of love with a home!

Where does that leave us with the 2020 ‘Top 10‘ list? Let’s take a look at the colors first.

The 2020 Design Colors

1. Orange Apricot (Apricot Orange)

Below we have, ‘Orange Apricot’. What can anyone say about orange? It’s orange. Even apricot is orange.

Sellers should shy away from painting a whole room in it. Not everyone will find it ‘tasteful.’

This color isn’t overpowering as an accent color. Towels, sheets, and even your front door could use a pop of color. This 2020 color would be a good choice for any of them.

2. Moody Maroon

This color is a good friend of the color ‘red’. We have all been warned painting red in large spaces when trying to sell a home. This color is pretty so if you must use it, please stick to accessories or furniture.

3. Pigmented Terracotta

The one is a very good friend of ‘Moody Maroon’ and should be used as accessories as well. The one thing this trend makes us kind of nervous about it stucco walls. When terracotta comes back in fashion, stucco walls seem to follow. Not everyone is a fan of large red-orange stucco walls.

This color would make your patio, deck or entrance way look fabulous!

4. Pale & Matte

This one is a color combo. Take a candy color like cotton candy pink or pale blue and match it with a frost white. The trick to this? Use matte paint.

This color trend could work well in large areas. Think bedroom accent wall.

5. Metallic Black

This is a very particular color for a very particular person. It’s a trend color that’s bold and innovative. You will either love this color or hate it.

Put it on your wall while you’re trying to sell your home and you’ll cut your buyer pool in half.

Color is powerful.

6. Green Military Acid (Acid Olive)

This one is very interesting. We aren’t referring to the green blanket on the bed. The green we are referring to is the green of the rug. We’re probably going to start a debate here.

Is it green or is it gray? It isn’t a bad choice for a carpet though. Just please don’t put it on a wall. This isn’t a good color for a front door. It’s doesn’t pop so it wouldn’t be inviting.

7. Golden Yellow

Yellow is seen as a friendly color. It should be kept as an accent color while you’re selling.

A popular color in many different shades, yellow always makes the list of trends.

8. Deep Emerald

Oh dear. Please dear seller. We will buy you this paint to put on your new home’s walls. Just don’t put it anywhere in your home while we’re trying to sell it.

Green is the color of luck and money but you’ll have neither if your home sits on the market.

9. Saturated Blue

This is clean looking. We feel very calm looking at it.

Not everyone will feel the same though. This is a savvy color. Pull it into your home through curtains, towels, bedding, etc. This color in material against pale walls will give that same crisp look.

The difference is, buyers won’t have to worry about your curtains. They’ll be putting up their own!

10. Color blocking (Clashing pairings)

We honestly just feel like crying. These trends always have one color scheme that throws up for a loop.

This can’t be a home. It must be one of the sets of Mad Men. Don Draper is about to walk on stage any moment.

It is actually a fun look. People buy homes and make themed room all the time. When it comes to selling though, the only theme that works is ‘hotel chique’. Your home has to look like anyone and everyone will feel relaxed. They need to be able to picture themselves in the space.

Color goes a long way in helping them do that.

Keeping the tones calm and the palette neutral will go a long way in helping them do that. These top colors trends are all good looking. You can use them as accents for bedding, curtains, area rugs, etc.

Strike the right balance to land that contract and move onto your next level in life!

Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about setting your home up to sell. You can ask us about anything from color trends to finding out your home worth. You can message us here.

Is 2020 the Year of Real Estate Investing!? – Some Say Yes!

Happy New Year, folks! What a great time to be alive! It’s the second decade of the new millennia and things are kicking off to a great start. We’re talking housing market of course. There’s every reason to celebrate this year’s forecasts. It seems there’s advantages for both buyers and sellers. This is what we call a ‘healthy market’ in the biz. The indicators we’re seeing for this year’s market usually spell bad news for those interest in the real estate investing arena.

Here’s where your probably wondering how this healthy market is different and can create opportunities for real estate investing, even for first-timers.

Usually, they don’t.

This market is promises to be a bit different though. There are factors here that may make investing in real estate a viable option for many people.

The Market

National Housing Forecast 2020 (Realtor.com forecast):

Housing markets search for new balance

– Home price growth will flatten, with a forecasted increase of 0.8 percent
– Inventory will remain constrained, especially at the entry-level price segment
– Mortgage rates are likely to bump up to 3.88 percent by the end of the year
– Tight inventory and rising mortgage rates will lead to dropping sales
– Buyers will continue to move to affordability, benefiting mid-sized markets

Realtor.com Forecast for Key Housing Indicators

Housing Indicator	Realtor.com 2020 Forecast
Mortgage Rates	Average 3.85% throughout the year, 3.88% by end of year
Existing Home Median Sales Price Appreciation	Up 0.8%
Existing Home Sales	Down 1.8%
Single-Family Home Housing Starts	Up 6%
Homeownership Rate	64.6%

The Niche

There is potential for a variety of impacts on the housing market starting this year.

Millions of Americans will enter their 60’s and 70’s. Senior housing demands often mean downsizing and cost saving. This means the market could see a higher demand for smaller, more affordable inventory. These smaller one-level homes are limited across the board in the U.S., so competition could increase.

Plano is no different. The closest we’ve come to a tiny home village has been the Villages at Legacy West!

We’re seeing construction of new homes specifically for Seniors on the rise locally. Plano has consistently been named as one of the best places in the country to retire. This trend is one that will continue to rise.

It’s also time to say hello to Generation Z. According to a TransUnion report, the number of Gen Z shoppers who took out a mortgage more than doubled in one year. Year-over-year growth was 112 percent in comparison to 12 percent growth from Millennials.

It’s important to consider what the profile of a Gen Z home buyer looks like. Similar to millennials, they are riddled with student debt. That means smaller spaces and affordability are key. Combined with the millennial market and the Silver Tsunami, it’s easy to see why experts are predicting more of a demand for affordable inventory that is both senior- and starter home-friendly.

The Opportunities

Life is full of opportunities if you know where to look. Usually they’re buried in the negative space. It’s kind of like the arrow buried in the FedEx logo. The good thing about them though is one you see them you can spot them easier.

Where’s the opportunity for some profitable real estate investing? You have to know the particularities of the niches that will affect the market and what will be left. That low hanging fruit is ripe for investments.

We can’t say to go and buy every kind of one particular style home. It’s not that black and white. We can we are watching and being ahead of the curve is our game.

Getting into the game now and into position to buy when opportunity arises can mean a possible payoff for you. How do you do that?

The first step is to find your buying power. How much you can afford and how fast you can move will mean the difference between a big win or a loss. Strategy means everything.

The second step is to be always watching the marketplace of homes in your area to see what’s available. Once you have your strategy you’ll know your search perimeters. Until then you can browse our site to see what’s available and become familiar with your area’s marketplace of homes.

Real estate has always and will always be a sound investment. The trick is knowing when the time is right.

Happy 2020!

Happy Holidays Everyone, from our family to yours.

The Night the Real McCoys Received Their Just Award!

We took one final look in the mirror. Our ensembles looked spectacular and we smiled at each other as we left our home for the event. We waited for this night since the surprise announcement during our sales meeting back in August. It’s not like we counted down the days. We weren’t necessarily watching the calendar. We were just excited because we love our city and the good folks in it. We were excited because we love what we do. We were excited because we love each other.

We drove out of the Villa’s of Legacy West and made our way to the Chamber’s Best of Plano Gala. We reflected on what this honor meant to us.

When you look at the bits and pieces of our life together, a fascinating story comes together. It’s a happy and most definitely a blessed one about how our personal and professional lives successfully entwine.

We’re a happily married couple navigating the real estate business for over 25 years. We experience the extreme highs and lows the industry endures, together. We’ve seen the best and worst of times in the lives of homeowners. First-time buyers, career promotions, families relocating, people receiving cash windfalls, and more are all events we’ve celebrated. Then there are divorces, the partner disillusions, those moving because of illness or the inability to take care of one’s self and the saddest of all, estates.

That’s why celebrating these happy moments together mean more than the awards on a shelf. We are each other’s cheerleaders, accountability partners and best friends. Now, on this night, our wonderful city said, “We appreciate you.”

It just doesn’t get better than that.

It’s a Party!

The Chamber really put on a great event at the Dallas/Plano Marriott at Legacy Town Center. We had a fantastic time catching up with friends we know and meeting some new friends. The awards went to so many great people. One great example was Marbie Jackson, Medical City Plano Board of Trustee Member, who was honored with the ‘Athena Award;. The Hendrick Scholarship Foundation won as ‘Community Partner of the Year.’

We want to thank so many folks! We would love to thank Plano’s Chamber of Commerce and everyone who made the award ceremony possible! We could take up the internet listing them all! Let us just say, if you’re reading this, we thank you! We know you’re wonderful!

Caught on Camera

We have some great photos of the night that we wanted to share. There’s some pics of the program so you can see some of the winners. Do you have some photos of the night? We’d love to see them! Just check out Facebook page and share them. We’ll add them to this post and share them as well!

Welcome in the Holiday Season with These Plano Events!

You can feel it in the air, that change of season that isn’t weather related. It’s spirit related. We’ve put Halloween behind us and at this point people fall into two groups. They are the folks who are waiting till Thanksgiving to get into the holiday spirit. The other already have their trees up, have their holiday shopping done or almost done and their ugly sweaters already picked out.

The second group of people are the reason stores stock the shelves with holiday decor as soon as they take down the Halloween decor! They are also the reason the Hallmark channel is already playing Christmas movies and we love them for their spirit.

Okay, we’re close to being them! We love the holidays!! Our great city of Plano is a fantastic place to enjoy some holiday events. We’ve gathered up some wonderful ones to share with you. We know there are probably many more going on and we’ve included links to our sources. Feel free to search on as throughout the season so you, your family and friends can have the greatest season ever!

Oh! One more thing, if you have an event you’d like us to promote, please send it to us here. We’re happy to share family-friendly holiday adventures happening in and around Plano!

Our Big Day Is November 15th! Won’t You Join Us?!

Time flies when you’re having fun! November has come upon us in a flash! It seems like yesterday we found out that we were chosen as Plano’s Small Business Person of the Year. Now we’re almost to the day when the celebration happens!

The first time we learned that we won the award is a pretty funny story. It’s good for a chuckle and you can read it here. The truth is the award is icing on an already pretty awesome cake that we’ve been enjoying for years. You see, Plano has been our home, where our business started, and where it flourishes. We’ve just had the recent addition of our two sons to our team! It’s where we met, fell in love, had our children, raised our families. Plano has awarded us with so much already that we’re just grateful and humbled to be lucky enough to call it home.

There’s also another thing that Plano has given us; friends (that’s you). That is why we wanted to share all that we knew about the event with you. We got it right off of the Plano Chamber of Commerce Website (a big thanks to them) and you can see the original page here.
