Can you back out of a home purchase?
You’re buying a home, but you just can’t shake the feeling that it isn’t meant to be. Suddenly, it hits you—you do NOT want to go through with it. But it’s too late, right? Well, maybe not... The first step is to reach out to your agent and figure out your options. Depending on your contract terms and how far along you are in the process, it's important to know you may end up losing money. It all depends on timing: • If you get cold feet BEFORE your offer is accepted, your agent can withdraw the offer. But you need to think fast because once the seller accepts your offer and you sign a purchase agreement, it IS legally binding. • If you get cold feet AFTER signing the purchase agreement, you’re not totally out of luck, but backing out will be trickier since your purchase agreement may have time-sensitive contingencies. Plus, there is a really good chance you'll forfeit any earnest money you put down with your offer. Are you smack dab in the middle of this predicament right now? Then STOP scrolling this post and call your real estate agent—they’ll know what to do and how to help. . . . #WhoYouWorkWithMatters #HomeBuying #Homeownership #ColoradoHomeBuyers #ANewWayHome #8z

8 Steps to a Showing
Can I be real for a second? I’ve shown A LOT of homes, and know that one of the best things you can do as a seller is so simple, but incredibly underrated. It's this: Clean. Yep. Clean.

2022 Projections
Experts have changed their predictions for 2022 housing appreciation 👀 Due to a lack of new inventory and continued demand from buyers, most experts changed their predictions from the 5-upper 7% range to 9-16% range. Want to know how much your home’s value has increased since you purchased? I can send you a free monthly report on your home’s value, along with other key metrics - just shoot me a message! . . . #8z #ANewWayHome #HomeAppreciation #ColoradoHousingMarket #ColoradoHomes

Homeownership On The Rise
Today, over half of the U.S. population lives in a home that they own - and that percentage continues to grow over time. 📈 Why? Well, there are several huge benefits to owning a home. 🏡 A big one, especially right now, is inflation - as prices go up, your biggest monthly expense (housing costs) stays the same. 💰 At the same time, you’re growing your equity with each mortgage payment, which increases your net worth as well. 💸 Oh yeah, there’s also this little thing called appreciation… Your home’s value will increase over time, adding more equity and further increasing your net worth. 🏦 Ready to stop paying rent? Or maybe it’s just time to move up? Give me a call! . . . #8z #ANewWayHome #Homeownership #HomeEquity #HomeAppreciation

Asking Price Matters
The housing market has slowed down compared to the last two years, but does that mean you can’t sell over asking?👇 With less demand from buyers, sellers have to accept that this isn’t the pandemic market anymore. When setting the price on a home, you really need to be strategic to entice as much buyer interest as possible. Too high, or too low, and you risk scaring off would-be buyers. Your home can still sell quickly, and maybe even above asking, as long as you price it right. Your trusted agent will be able to help you with this, balancing comparable home values in the neighborhood, current market trends, the condition of your home, and more. . . . #8z #ANewWayHome #WhoYouWorkWithMatters #DenverHousingMarket #HomePrices

How Will Millennials Impact Real Estate?
Food for thought 🥪 Appreciation may have slowed down in this shifting market, but what could the next few years hold? Recent data from the National Association of Realtors shows that the large generation of millennials are entering their prime home buying years, which could drive buyer demand back up again. If housing supply can’t catch up, we will continue to see home prices appreciate, especially if demand rises in the coming years. . . . #8z #ANewWayHome #Millennials #Homebuying #HomeAppreciation

More Inventory. More Opportunity.
🚨Calling all buyers🚨 Rising interest rates are bringing the market back to pre-pandemic behavior. With less pressure from buyers, the number of homes for sale is starting to rise to meet the still-elevated level of demand. With more inventory comes less competition, which means you have a much better opportunity to lock in your dream home.

Buy or Rent?
Buying your first home can be a daunting task. But should you continue to rent? Let’s take a look: ❌ When you rent, you face rising rental costs ✅ When you buy, you stabilize your housing costs ❌ When you rent, you don’t earn any financial benefits ✅ When you buy, you own a tangible asset that appreciates over time ❌ When you rent, you limit your ability to save as rents rise ✅ When you buy, you grow your net worth through building equity and appreciation If you’re ready to stop paying rent, give me a call! . . . #8z #ANewWayHome #Homebuying #Homeownership #NetWorth #Equity

Housing Forecast 2022
The housing market has reached a turning point ↩️. If you happened to read our July Newsletter, you know that there are some exciting opportunities to capitalize on this changing environment. But what does the rest of 2022 hold for real estate? Here’s what industry experts have to say: 📈 Mortgage Rates Will Depend on Inflation - As inflation goes up, so do mortgage rates. And until we see peak inflation, we probably won’t see peak mortgage rates. Some believe that we may have reached or be near the peak, but nobody really can predict what the Fed will do. That’s why if you’re looking to buy, it may be better to lock in a sub-6% rate now rather than wait and potentially be left with a higher rate. 🏘️ The Supply of Homes for Sale Will Continue to Rise - As mortgage rates have risen this year, buyer demand has fallen. With waning buying pressure, homes will begin to sit on the market longer, allowing inventory levels to catch up. Even still, buyer demand is much greater than the number of homes for sale, but this trend toward a more normal market pace will give buyers some much-needed relief when competing for a home. 💸 Home Price Forecasts Call for Ongoing Appreciation - Again, there are still more buyers than there are homes for sale. As long as that’s the case, home prices will continue to appreciate - NOT decline. In 2021, we saw an average of around 15% appreciation across the US. This year, experts forecast that number will be about 8.5%. As always, I’m here to answer any questions!
