Welcome to Wetumpka with Abbie Weldon ·

2026/01/27

In this episode, I’m talking about something I see come up again and again in real estate: the quiet difference between a house that looks right on paper and a home that actually fits your life. This isn’t an episode about numbers, interest rates, or timing the market. It’s about why a home can feel “off” at first, why that doesn’t mean you made the wrong decision, and how time and routine play a bigger role in settling in than most people expect. Before diving in, I’m also sharing two fun co...

2026/01/20

One of my favorite things about hosting Welcome to Wetumpka is getting to share not just the real estate side of life here, but the heart behind what “home” truly means to our family. Today’s episode is a fun and especially meaningful one because I’m joined by a very special guest — my 8-year-old son, Bennett. If you remember episode 21, when my daughter Jamie Beth joined me over Thanksgiving break, you’ll know just how much fun it is to hear a kid’s perspective on home, family, and everyday ...

2026/01/13

Buying or selling a home can look pretty simple from the outside — but behind the scenes, there’s often a lot more happening than most people realize. In this episode of Welcome to Wetumpka, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing real stories from past transactions that didn’t go perfectly… at least not at first. These are deals that hit unexpected hiccups along the way — inspections, insurance issues, lender requirements, and things that popped up right before closing — but still made it t...

It’s the first Tuesday of January, which means it’s time for our first Elmore County market update of 2026 — and there’s a lot to unpack as we head into the new year. In this episode of Welcome to Wetumpka, I’m breaking down what actually happened in the Elmore County housing market in December and, more importantly, what those numbers mean for buyers and sellers right now.

A new year often brings new goals — and for many people, that includes buying or selling a home. But heading into 2026, the Wetumpka housing market looks a little different than the fast-paced, unpredictable years we’ve just come through. In this episode of Welcome to Wetumpka, I’m breaking down what buyers and sellers should realistically expect in the 2026 housing market, using data straight from the National Association of Realtors — not opinions or guesses. I talk about where the market i...

2025/12/23

Buying a home in Wetumpka comes with a big decision — new construction or an existing home — and what works for one buyer may not work for another. In this episode of Welcome to Wetumpka, I’m breaking down the real pros and cons of both options, using local insight you won’t find in a generic Google search. We talk through how pricing compares here in Wetumpka, which neighborhoods tend to lend themselves to new builds versus established homes, and why neither option is “better” — they simply ...

23. Is Winter a Good Time to Sell Your Home in Wetumpka?

Welcome to Wetumpka with Abbie Weldon ·

2025/12/16

One of the questions I hear most often this time of year is: “Is now actually a good time to sell my home?” Traditionally, people think spring and summer are the only times to list because the market feels “hot,” but that doesn’t mean selling in the winter is a bad move. In this episode of Welcome to Wetumpka, I’m breaking down the real pros and cons of selling your home during the winter months — and busting a few common myths I hear from sellers every year. I talk about why a slower market ...

In this episode of Welcome to Wetumpka, I’m sharing a powerful conversation recorded at a recent leadership retreat I attended, where my real estate coach, Lacey Newman, asked me questions that challenged me to reflect on my journey, my leadership, and the future of my business.

If you haven’t listened to Episode 15 yet, hit pause and go back! Today’s episode builds on last week’s topic and walks you through what really happens when you go under contract as a seller. A lot of people think that once their home goes under contract, the hard part is over—but that’s rarely the case. The truth? The real work begins after that “under contract” sign goes up. In this episode, I’m breaking down the process step-by-step—from the home inspection to the repair negotiations, appr...

Today’s episode is all about what really happens behind the sign when you list your home with me. Most people only see the “for sale” sign, the pretty photos, and the open house. But there’s so much more that goes into getting your home sold — and I’m breaking it all down step-by-step. From the very firs...
