About Kelli McCoy:

“Hi! I’m Kelli, a self diagnosed crazy dog lady and balanced trainer. Typically this is the section where trainers brag about themselves in third person… I’m going to do it in first person.

I grew up with dogs and often taught them tricks like roll over and sit and down while my siblings played outside… (the anti-social crazy dog lady thing runs deep over here.) I started working with dogs in 2007, where I worked as an adoption counselor of sorts and matched people and puppies and taught them about raising their puppies.

I started handling as a client in 2008, and I fell in love with training. In 2012 I started training dogs professionally for a large school. There I specialized in behavior modification and aggression, as well as obedience. While I loved rehabbing dogs, I found that one of my greatest joys was helping bridge the communication gaps between dog and human; especially in the beginning stages of training. Rescue has always been a big part of my life as well, and I have fostered and rehabbed many dogs! Most of them left… Some are now my foster fails.

I live in Mesa, Arizona with my seven dogs… Yes, seven. Nessy, Maddox, Tayzr, Bugzy, Tucker, Sophie, and little Grandpa. Along with that crew, we have a cat and two kids! They all have their own quirks, but with a ton of training, a lot of love, and a little luck we have found harmony in our house.

I dabble in sports with my dogs, and love competing with them in Rally, Obedience, Dock Diving as well as Toss & Fetch. However, you’re probably not here because you’re looking to show your dog in the obedience ring… You’re here because you want to have a better relationship with your furry family member. Plus, the puppy keeps using the carpet as it’s personal commode! Well, it is nice to “meet” you! And… yes, I can help with that!”

Have You Thought About Why You Might Want To Sell Your House?

Some Highlights:

If you’re on the fence about selling your house, it’s worth considering all the reasons why moving could make sense for you.
If you find your home no longer meets your needs, it may be time to sell.
You have a lot to consider when deciding if you should move. Let’s connect today to go over the benefits of selling your house.

TOP REASONS why hiring an Encanterra Specialist ensures you a successful home sale…

Selling a home can be a daunting task, especially in today’s housing market. While it might seem tempting to try and sell your home on your own, hiring a Real Estate professional specializing in Encanterra ensures your successful sale.

Here are TOP REASONS why hiring an Encanterra Specialist ensures you a successful sale:

1. They’re experts on market trends

An Encanterra specialist knows how the national real estate market is changing and what it means for your community. They can provide you with trustworthy, data-bound information to help you make informed decisions about pricing, timing, and marketing.

2. A local professional knows how to set the right price for your home

Pricing your house too high can deter buyers, while pricing it too low can leave you with less money than you deserve. An Encanterra specialist will assess your home’s condition, upgrades, and location, and compare it to recently sold homes in Encanterra to determine the best price for today’s market.

3. A real estate advisor helps maximize your pool of buyers

Encanterra specialists have access to a wide range of tools and resources, such as social media followers, agency resources, and the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), to help your house get in front of people looking to make a purchase. Without access to these tools and marketing expertise, your home’s selling potential may be limited.

4. A real estate expert will read – and understand– the fine print

With more mandatory disclosures and regulations involved in real estate transactions, it’s important to work with a professional who can navigate the legal documents and speak the language.

5. A local professional is a skilled negotiator

In today’s market, buyers are regaining some negotiation power. An Encanterra specialist can help you coordinate with the buyer, the buyer’s agent, the inspection company, the title company and the appraiser, so you don’t have to go toe-to-toe with them alone. They’ll know what levers to pull and how to address everyone’s concerns and get you the best deal possible.

In today’s market, selling your home without an expert by your side can be a risky move. Enlisting the help of an Encanterra specialist ensures you have a professional real estate advisor who can guide you through the process and help you get the most out of your sale. So, if you’re planning to sell your home this spring, let’s connect and discuss how we can help you achieve your goals.

Encanterra Real Estate Market Report- 2022 & looking forward to 2023

Take a look below to see which floorplans were the most popular in 2022.

Encanterra ONLY sales Market Report for 2022

*No longer offered

2022 Encanterra ONLY market statistics:

43 Canceled/expired listings

Average days on the market for the canceled or expired: 32 with the high at 182 days

2022 – 99 new build closings

2022 – 130 resale closings

Of these 130 resale closings; the average days on the market: 90 with the high 252 days

Looking forward

How our market evolves in 2023 will be determined by three metrics: Mortgage rates! Mortgage rates! Mortgage rates!

VALLEY WIDE statistics- ARMLS (Arizona Regional MLS) Pending Price Index (PPI) Last month, STAT’s mathematical model projected the median sales price for December at $420,000, the actual amount was $412,000. Looking ahead to January, the ARMLS Pending Price Index is projecting the median sales price to drop slightly to $410,000. If January’s median sales price projection is correct, our year-over-year median sales price will have 13.68% from May 2022’s record high of $475,000. Our December’s median price projection missed the mark by $8,000 or 1.9%. This was caused by numerous contracts signed earlier this year which had been assigned a year-end escrow date, in which a status change had taken place and had not been updated.

We began January with 4,910 residential listings under contract. This compares to 8,812 of the same type of listings one year ago. At the beginning of January, the “pending” contracts are 44.28% lower than last year. ARMLS reported 6,806 sales in January 2022. The highest sales volume ever in January occurred in 2021 with 7,076. When January’s numbers are reported this year, we will see a drop in both sales volume and price. If our models are correct, year-over-year sales volume will decline around 45%.

In conclusion, let us share with you two published opinions:

Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist: “Mortgage application activity sunk to a quarter century low this week as high mortgage rates continue to weaken the housing market. While mortgage market activity has significantly shrunk over the last year, inflationary pressures are easing and should lead to lower mortgage rates in 2023.” While mortgage rates have resumed their decline, the market remains hypersensitive to rate movements, with purchase demand experiencing large swings relative to small changes in rates. Over the last few weeks, latent demand has been on display with buyers jumping in and out of the market as rates move.

Michael Orr of the Cromford Report: “We are still dependent on the whims of the Federal Reserve. If they continue to push the Federal Funds Rate higher in an attempt to curb inflation, then mortgage rates could move higher too, putting a quick damper on any recovery in demand. However, if the 30-year fixed mortgage rate stays between 6% and 6.75%, then we should have confidence that the housing market can operate normally at this level. To achieve confidence, we need several months of interest rate stability. This is by no means certain to happen, but it is possible. Once the fear is removed, we should see more signs of a recovery in demand and volumes will rise back towards a more normal level.”

Top 5 Interior Trends for 2023

Each New Year ushers in a variety of new trends, from fashion to technology to interior design. Whether you’re looking for ways to spruce up your current home before selling it or you’re starting to plan the style of a new home, the upcoming trends forecasted by designers can provide some inspiration.

Here are 5 of the top interior design trends you can expect to be seeing in 2023:

Calming colors. When it comes to paint colors, wallpaper, and décor, homeowners are increasingly preferring warm, neutral hues that evoke a sense of calm and coziness. Colors commonly found in nature—such as muted browns and greens—are always a safe choice, but shades that are deeper yet still earthy (like mustard yellows, the popular accent color Ultramarine blue, or Pantone’s color of the year for 2023, Viva Magenta) are finding their place as well.
Statement rugs. To complement a more neutral color palette, designers are seeing homeowners opt for statement rugs that are both functional and decorative. With bold colors and patterns, these rugs can essentially serve as “floor art.”
Gold accents. Reflecting the theme of warm over cool tones, gold and brassy fixtures—including lighting, faucets, and cabinet or drawer pulls—will continue to be popular, while brushed nickel has fallen out of favor.
High-gloss wood finishes. From floors to cabinets, matte wood finishes are being swapped out for high-gloss, which brings a polished, eye-catching look to any room.
Biophilic design. While this trend is not exactly new, designers expect to continue seeing homeowners seek ways to bring elements of the natural world into their homes. This often manifests in the use of natural, organic materials, such as bamboo, cork, and wood, as well as decorative objects with freeform shapes. Incorporating these items can add warmth and texture to any interior design.
