February in South Metro: Homes, Events, & Community Connections!

by Todd Priebe

With Priebe Real Estate Group, we believe that a home is more than just four walls – it’s about the community you’re part of. That's why we've decided to build a monthly newsletter designed to connect you with everything that makes our South Metro community so special. From local events and small businesses to hidden gems and community success stories, we’re here to keep you in the loop about what’s happening right in your backyard.

Stay informed, explore new opportunities, and get inspired with our community-focused insights!

Check out our latest blog here and discover what’s waiting for you right around the corner.

February is off to a busy start—I’ve been booking more  appointments than expected!

While interest rates are still hovering around 7%, motivated buyers are out there, and well-priced homes are selling quickly—sometimes with multiple offers. If selling has been on your mind, even if it’s a year or two down the road, it might be worth asking:

"Would moving up my timeline help me price my home more competitively and still maximize its value?"

That’s exactly what I’m helping my clients explore. By looking at what similar homes are selling for, understanding what buyers are looking for, and creating a strategy to position your home at the right time, you can make a more informed decision—without any pressure.

But how do you know if you're ready? Here are 5 signs it might be time.

1. Your monthly costs feel unnecessary high for the amount of people in your home.

2. You're tired of cleaning a big house, or having trouble keeping up.

3. Your space rooms are being used for storage or are seemingly bare.

4. Your utility bills have increased significantly over the years.

5. You'd rather spend time traveling than maintaing your property.
