The Stats are In… Market Snapshot for February 2025

Hello Caton Team Friends,

The stats are in for February 2025. The condo/town home market has taken a hit, with HOA dues and higher interest rates impacting a buyers financing options. However, we see gains in the single family home market. This gap in affordability has always been a concern of mine. However, if a buyer can afford a condo or town home, it is a wonderful stepping stone to gain equity over time and turn that equity into a downpayment for a single family home down the road. First time buyers and move up buyers tend to need about 7-10 years to see financial gain for this step. Although the buyer is now the owner and responsible for all aspects of ownership, the opportunity to earn equity makes it a sage investment for loan term wealth.

New Law in effect regarding AC units – Shared Article

On January 1, 2025, a new A2L air conditioning refrigerant standard went into effect nationwide to support lower Global Warming Potential (GWP).

This means A/C systems using older refrigerants no longer meet new energy efficiency standards and are being phased out for new equipment. When current equipment supplies and refrigerants are no longer available, the purchase of compatible equipment that uses less toxic refrigerants will be necessary.

The Stats are In… Market Snapshot for January 2025

Hello Caton Team Friends,

The stats are in for January 2025. We see that affordability is still key with gains in the more competitive markets while the higher end market is seeing some variance – which is to be expected. Many folks expected interest rates to drop; however, that remains to be seen. I’m very curious how this year will pan out.

Thank you for the Testimonial!

We’re so grateful when our clients share their kind words with us. We love what we do and we love taking great care of our clients.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Sabrina from Caton Real Estate to sell our family home, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From our first meeting, Sabrina demonstrated exceptional professionalism, knowledge, and a genuine commitment to helping us through the entire process.

She took the time to understand our needs and expectations, providing valuable insights into the market that helped us position our home competitively. Her marketing strategies were impressive, showcasing our home beautifully and attracting a lot of interest.

Sabrina was always available to answer questions and provided regular updates, making us feel supported every step of the way. Additionally, Susan from the same team offered her assistance when needed, ensuring a seamless experience.

Thanks to their hard work and dedication, we sold our home quickly and for a great price. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and effective real estate agent, look no further than Sabrina at Caton Real Estate. We couldn’t be happier with the experience!”

Sincerely – L.A & S.V

We are so blessed to help our clients through all their Real Estate needs.

The Stats are In… Market Snapshot for November 2024

Hello Caton Team Friends,

Here’s the latest stats! Don’t let the numbers or interest rates change your outlook. The Caton Team is here to help navigate your options and help you decide if now or later is a good time to act on your Real Estate goals.

Let’s see our year over year first…

I like to look at November since it is the start of the Winter Season. Most markets slow down over the holidays and you can see it wane in the condo/townhome market. Home prices dipped slightly – because it rained (lol) – but it is true, our weather does impact our buying season. Only the truly motivated house hunt in the winter. Some great opportunities can be had at this time of year. Curious of this market can help you – contact The Caton Team for more information – Email us @ Info@TheCatonTeam.com

We’re so grateful when our clients share their kind words with us. We love what we do and we love taking great care of our clients.

Highly recommended to anyone looking for a trustworthy and top-notch service provider! I couldn’t be happier with my decision to work with Caton Team and Berkshire Hathaway Home Services. What truly influenced me to choose them was their exceptional reputation for professionalism and attention to detail. From the very first interaction, I could tell they genuinely cared about meeting my needs and going above and beyond to deliver results. They provided me with confidence and peace of mind, knowing I was in capable hands.

I wanted to extend my deepest gratitude for the incredible job you did in selling my house. Your hard work, dedication, and expertise, specially during such a challenging time. You went above and beyond to ensure a smooth process, and your support truly helped me navigate this transition with confidence. I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor, and I’m so grateful for everything you’ve done.

The Stats are In… Market Snapshot for October 2024

Hello Caton Team Friends,

Let’s see our year over year first…

I like to look at October since it is the end of the Summer/Fall Season and we can see how robust the buying season was. Single Family Homes held steady this year, with a small jump in value. Just about every market saw some gains.
