Honestly, it depends on the market you\u2019re looking to buy or sell in. Contrary to what you\u2019re hearing on the news, we don\u2019t have blanket market conditions; things look different in different areas. In fact, you can have one small pocket experiencing a buyer\u2019s market and another pocket nearby seeing something way more balanced.  Having a successful real estate transaction right now means focusing less on what\u2019s happening nationally, and paying more attention to what\u2019s happening on a hyper-local, granular level and aligning it with what you actually want. If you\u2019re going about it wisely, with the right data and information, this is actually a great time to buy. There are so many things present in the market right now that actually make for a lot of great opportunities.  Kristin LaVanway believes you can buy a home right now and come out ahead of the game. Interest rates may be high, and appreciation might not be what it once was, but you\u2019ll still be a winner. In this episode, she tells us about her favorite places in Arizona,  setting yourself up for success in a transaction and her side-gig as a comedian!  View full show notes at YourNeighborhoodRealEstateShow.com Guest Bio    Kristin LaVanway is a Realtor specializing in Mesa, Chandler, Tempe, Gilbert, Ahwatukee and Queen Creek.
