Claire Dunn, Realtor - Coldwell Banker Heritage Realtors

Getting ready to tour homes? 🏡 Make sure you’re asking the right questions to help you make the best decision! Here are 5 must-ask questions:

🔷 When are offers due? Timing is crucial. Knowing the deadline ensures you can prepare and submit your offer on time.

🔷 What is the timeframe needed by the seller? Understanding the seller’s motivation could open up room for negotiation.

🔷 Have there been any changes to the original design? It’s important to know if there have been modifications or renovations, and if they were done correctly.

🔷 How many offers have been made so far? This gives you an idea of the competition and how strong your offer should be.

🔷 Are there any issues with the property? Ask about any known problems so you’re not caught off guard later.

I totally get it when someone says, "I'm not ready to buy a house right now because of high interest rates." It’s a big decision, and timing is everything.

But here’s a little perspective: mortgage rates today are a bargain compared to the jaw-dropping 18.63% they hit in 1981. Can you imagine paying that? 🤯

So, even though rates aren’t as low as they were in 2021, it’s still a great time to find your dream home. Let’s chat about your options! 🏡✨

Ever wonder why I love being a real estate agent? It’s not just about extra cash or free time (😂) —it's about helping you find your dream home and seeing your smile when I hand over the keys. 🏡❤️

Want to save six figures on your home purchase? Here's how 👇

✔️ Shop Around for Lenders: During pre-approval, multiple lenders can pull your credit within a 14-45 day window without affecting your score. Get quotes, ask for written closing cost estimates, and compare rates and fees.

✔️ Switch to Bi-Weekly Payments: Making bi-weekly payments instead of monthly ones result in an extra mortgage payment every year, saving you a ton in interest over time.

✔️ Make an Early Payment: Your first mortgage payment skips a month. Closing in September? Your first payment is due in November. Pay in October to decrease your principal right away and save thousands.

✔️ Look into Grants & Programs: Many states and banks offer reduced mortgage rates and grants for first-time buyers. You’ll borrow and pay interest on less money.

✔️ Negotiate Rate Buy Downs: Sellers can help pay for rate buy downs, depending on your negotiating power.

✔️ Refinance When Rates Drop: Buying before rates drop means less competition and likely a lower sales price. If rates drop later, refinance and enjoy the best of both worlds.

Your dream home is closer than you think! 🏡✨

When the dream home turns out to be more 'meh' than 'marvelous' in real life... 🏠😅

Opendoor recently released a survey to explore Gen Xers and Baby Boomer behavior when it comes to selling and buying homes. 🏡📈

Turns out that a major reason these generations don’t want to move is not lock-in effect, but the simple reason that they are attached to their home.

Two days of learning with fellow Wickie, Julie Carter- JCarter Property Team Lead!
