1. How Can I Better Understand the Process, and How Much Can I Afford?
You need to decide on key things like how long you plan on living in an area, school districts you prefer, what kind of commute works for you, and how much you can afford to spend.

Keep in mind you’ll also need to apply for a mortgage. Lenders will evaluate several factors connected to your financial track record, one of which is your credit history. They’ll want to see how well you’ve been able to minimize past debts, so make sure you’ve been paying your loans on time. If your financial situation has changed recently, be sure to discuss that with your lender as well.

2. How Much Do I Need for a Down Payment?
In addition to knowing how much you can afford on a monthly payment, understanding how much you’ll need for a down payment is critical. Thankfully, there are many different options to potentially reduce the amount you think you need to put down. If you’re concerned about saving for a down payment, start small and be consistent. A little bit each month goes a long way.

3. Saving Takes Time: Practice Living on a Budget
As tempting as retail therapy is, putting that extra money toward your down payment will help accelerate your path to homeownership. It’s the little things that count, so start trying to live on a slightly tighter budget. While you don’t need to cut all of the extras, making smarter choices and limiting your spending will make a big difference.

As the country starts to re-open, we are looking to see what industries will lead the country back to a strong economy. Right now, it’s seems as if the Real Estate Industry will be one of if not the driving force to rally us back to stability.

While some people may be skeptical of this, due to unhealed scars over the 2008 housing crisis, it’s important to understand the facts as to why our industry is the most likely to be the key to getting the country up and running at full speed.

While 2008 was a recession cause by the housing industry, it’s crucial to understand that since WWII, the housing sector has been the driving force out of every other recession we’ve had.
Not only that, but even in 2008, the economy didn’t start to truly recover until the housing market saw promising signs of recovery.

So while we look to economic stability in the very near future keep in mind that in almost every prior scenario it has been the housing sector that has led the charge.

Now that we're seeing more unemployment claims than ever before in the past few weeks, panic is definitely setting in. That being said, it’s important to know while many people have lost their jobs, studies show that more than 4 million initial unemployment filers are believed to have found replacement jobs in food, healthcare, grocery stores, retail, delivery, and more industries who have had an increased demand for workers.

It’s also important to focus on equity Americans have in their homes. While some may think that foreclosures are a likely next step after people lose their jobs, those people tend to forget about equity and how that plays a role in your financial security.

Unlike 2008, we’re very unlikely to see a significant number of foreclosures because of the amount of equity homeowners have.

With 58% of homeowners holding over 60% of equity in America, we are in a much more secure place than we were going into 2008.

Right now, uncertainty is real and warranted and this situation needs to be taken seriously. However, according to the data, foreclosures and the real estate market is not one of the things we should be worried about now.

We’ve been staying at home under quarantine for nearly two months now. While some people have been stressed out about this new way of life, some people have thrived in it, enjoying spending quality time a home with friends.

While this is all happening, we’re finding homeownership has steadily increase even during the first quarter on 2020.

The National Association of Home Builders stated: “Strong owner household formation with around 2.7 million homeowners added in the first quarter has driven up the homeownership rate, especially under the decreasing mortgage interest rates and strong new home sales and existing home sales in the first two months before the COVID-19 pandemic hit the economy.”

COVID-19 Might be changing things about our day to day life, but it’s also illustrating how even now homeownership is going strong.

With new developments continuing to rise across growing suburban areas in the U.S., developers are customizing their offerings to appeal to the homebuyer demographics in their markets.

One of the largest homebuyer-pools is composed of baby boomers – a generation spanning from 1946 to 1964, mostly made up of empty nesters and many retirees. This generation makes up a group of the most astute buyers in the market, and when it comes to new construction homes, they highly value three distinct features when making a home-buying decision:

Lifestyle and flexibility
Retirement communities aren’t to everyone’s appeal. Owning a home near loved ones and a personal network is important, but many want the opportunity to diversify their surroundings, whether it’s owning a second home or traveling around the country. Investing in a place that offers a retreat-like experience is the ideal opportunity for those in search of a place where they can enjoy activities and amenities. Coastal communities and mountain retreats are some of the more popular options among retirees.

Low-maintenance living
For those who plan to travel or visit a second home for part of the year, a home that requires minimal upkeep is important. Hard-wood floors versus carpets, stain-resistant countertops, or not having to worry about yard maintenance, can go a long way. A low-maintenance home also makes renting out a property a more feasible and convenient process. Finding a Home Owners Association (HOA) that provides the right services can be particular to the needs of the buyer.

Custom, luxury features
Life-long experience in homeownership has provided many baby boomers with a clear idea of what they want and value in a home, which is why many invest in the opportunities that offer customizable features. Generally, baby boomers on the market are looking to invest in their last home and want features that fulfill their long-term needs. Whether it’s convenient, high-end kitchen appliances or an expansive, one-floor open layout – these can be the deciding selling points for this generation.
