Bring Warmth Home with Pantone's Color of the Year: Mocha Mousse  When Pantone selected Mocha Mousse as its 2025 Color of the Year, it reinforced a growing trend in both fashion and interior design – one that emphasizes warmth and quiet luxury. The color institute notes that Mocha Mousse is a rich brown hue that answers “our desire for comfort.” True to its name, the shade evokes an indulgent chocolate mousse that you might enjoy while curled up on the couch in front of a fire. Beyond its cozy appeal, Mocha Mousse highlights a return to basics – a soft, grounding presence in a fast-paced era dominated by technology. “Mocha Mousse reflects our longing to connect with nature, infusing warmth into our spaces while fostering a calm and soothing ambiance,” said Clara Kim, co-founder and crea...

How Elections Affect the Real Estate Market - Myth vs. Reality(Reprinted with permission from @properties.) With the 2024 presidential election just days away, you might be wondering how elections impact the real estate market and whether it's a good time to buy or sell. The good news? It's business as usual for most of the real estate world before, during, and after election season.Despite the popular belief that presidents and parties have a big impact on the market one way or the other, data from the past three decades tells a different story, in fact*, home prices increased following all but one election - 2008, the start of the recession.**Elections are also apparently good times to borrow. That's because mortgage rates have declined leading up to seven of the last nine election cy...

Commission Changes in Real Estate - Part 2The path to figuring out the momentous changes in real estate has become a little clearer. Or muddier. @properties has provided us with four new forms - two for sellers and two for buyers. The 2 new Seller forms include An entirely new Exclusive Sales and Market Brokerage Agreement (the listing agreement)The new listing agreement has no reference to a "co-op" commission which has been eliminated. The commission discussion is limited to only the amount paid to the listing brokerage. Sellers will no longer be required to pay the buyer's brokerage a commission fee. Whether or not to offer a commission to the buyer's brokerage will be an important part of the listing agent's job and can be provided in the addendum at #2. A new form called a Compensa...

Winnetka North Shore Home Prices Continue to SoarThe real estate aggregator Inman News published this a few days ago:"The median U.S. sale price is up 5% year over year. But there are signs that price growth could slow soon, with the average home selling for under-list price, inventory rising, and a high share of listings growing stale.The median U.S. home sale price hit an all-time high of $397,482 during the four weeks ending July 7, up 4.7% year over year - the biggest increase in over four months.

Buying a Home AS-IS. Are You Being Serious?In a buyer's market, buyers won't offer AS-IS unless the house is marketed that way. During this current boom and strong seller's market, that has changed.  I see the  widespread use of buyers hoping to make their offer stand out by saying they will buy the house "AS-IS." The great majority will still conduct an inspection for their own knowledge, but they're maintaining that they will not ask for repairs. Or are they?I have represented three sellers recently and all three properties had multiple offers. In reviewing the offers with the seller, the price is what sellers focus on first. Then we move on to other points and an AS-IS offer is a plus. If the inspector notes something seriously wrong with a major component of the house, then the AS-I...
