    Hey there, I'm APRIL

    the Buckeye, AZ REALTOR

     

    Let me guess. You're wondering who this April person is and why you should trust her with the biggest financial decision of your life, right? Fair question! Here's my story: I've lived in Buckeye and Goodyear for 20 years. I raised four kids who joke they grew up on model homes and HGTV (guilty!). I've always wanted to be a realtor, but life kept me busy. Last year, my youngest got married, and I finally made it happen. Now all my kids are in the home buying phase, asking me about mortgages and down payments, and I realized this is exactly what I'm meant to do. Fun fact: before real estate, I built a product business called Smelly Car Jars from my kitchen table and got it into 500+ stores. I know how to market. I know how to hustle. And I know how to get results. What you need to know about working with me? I call it "Mama Bear Care." I'm protective, honest, and fast to respond. If I wouldn't let my own family make a bad decision, I'm definitely not letting you make one. You're in good hands.

    A lot of buyers are quietly doing more than one thing to make life work.
A main job.

A second job.

A side hustle that fills the gap.
And the big question always comes up:

Can both incomes actually count?
Short answer: yes.

But only when it’s consistent and sustainable.
Your primary job will always carry the most weight.

A second income can count if it shows a steady pattern over time, typically two years, and doesn’t look temporary or forced.
If your timing isn’t perfect yet, that doesn’t mean you’re behind.

It just means the strategy matters more than rushing.
Buying a home isn’t about pushing harder.

It’s about lining things up the right way.

    “Wait until spring” gets repeated so often it feels like a rule.
But it’s not. It’s just old advice that stuck.

Homes in [your city] don’t sell because it’s April.
They sell because three things are aligned:
Price. Preparation. Marketing.

Spring doesn’t correct overpricing.
It doesn’t clean your house.
And it doesn’t guarantee better buyers.

What spring does bring is more listings.
More competition.
And more sellers fighting for the same attention.

Outside of peak season, inventory is often lower and buyers tend to be more focused and qualified. That can work in a seller’s favor when the home is positioned correctly.

The real question isn’t “What month is it?”
It’s “Is my home ready for the market I’m entering?”

The calendar doesn’t sell homes.
Execution does.

    I can’t believe that a home builder actually makes homes this cute. If you love the farmhouse look or the loft style look...you’ve got to check these out. The builder is doing a bunch of incentives and is buying the rate down below 4%!
This lowers the payment down to around $2400 with principle, interest, taxes, insurance and HOA!! It’s less than my client was paying in rent for a house that was 20 years old! Let me know if you want to go look at the same floor plan.
