📢 New Rule Alert for Homebuyers & Sellers! 🏡✨

Before buyers can tour a property, you'll need to sign a written agreement with your agent outlining their services and fees 🖋️. This is part of a new change aimed at providing more transparency on agent services and fees 💼.

For sellers, offers of compensation will no longer appear on the MLS, so talk with your agent to make the best decisions for your listing strategy. Let’s navigate these new rules together!

Did you know....When purchasing furniture think of ways it can be used not for just what it's intended for. Several pieces of furniture can serve multiple purposes depending on your needs. Look for pieces that can transform into a shelving unit, a storage bench for school shoes, or an even a table to provide versatility for completing nightly homework in a small space. Saving you time, money, and space!

Did you know that a high debt-to-income (DTI) ratio is the #1 reason mortgage applications get rejected? 🤯

Your DTI ratio is the percentage of your gross monthly income that goes toward debt payments, including your mortgage.

Lenders use DTI to assess your ability to afford a home. So, how can you avoid rejection and qualify for better rates?

✅ Aim for a DTI ratio of 36% or lower to qualify for the best rates.

✅ Pay down credit cards, auto loans, student loans, and other debt.

✅ Increase your income to offset your debts and lower your ratio.

Did you know the size of your down payment can have a big impact on your mortgage?

Here are a few of the ways:

📉 Interest Rate
A larger down payment often means a lower interest rate on the money you borrow.

🗓️ Monthly Payment
A bigger down payment means smaller monthly payments, making it easier to budget.

💰 Total Cost
The more you put down initially, the less you'll pay in total over the life of the loan.

🏠 Mortgage Type
Certain mortgages might require a specific minimum down payment.

🔒 Mortgage Insurance

With a smaller down payment, you may need mortgage insurance, adding to your monthly costs.

Want to learn more about how your down payment can affect the cost of owning a home? Check out our latest blog post for a detailed breakdown.
