June 2024 Luzerne County Market Update🏡

In June 2024, Luzerne County's real estate market experienced notable growth, with home prices rising by 7.3% compared to the same period last year. The median home price reached $212K, reflecting strong demand in the area. Despite this price increase, homes in Luzerne County continued to sell quickly, with an average of 15 days on the market, only slightly longer than the 14 days seen last year. However, the number of homes sold in June saw a slight decline, with 292 homes sold this year compared to 301 in June 2023. This data indicates a robust yet competitive market, where prices are rising, but inventory remains tight.

What do you think about the rising prices and tight inventory in Luzerne County? Is now the right time to buy or sell? Let's discuss your real estate goals!

What Every Homeowner Should Know About Their Equity Curious about selling your home?

3. Stay Flexible and Patient:
- Be prepared for the process to take time and stay flexible with your expectations. Don’t rush into a decision—take the time to find a home that meets your needs and fits your budget.

4. Don’t Skip the Home Inspection:
- Schedule a thorough home inspection to uncover any potential issues with the property. This ensures you make an informed decision and can negotiate repairs or adjustments if needed.

Easy Guide: How to Repair Light Switches

Fixing a malfunctioning light switch is a simple DIY project that can be done in a few steps. Here's how to do it:

1. Turn Off the Power:
Before you start, make sure to turn off the power to the light switch at the circuit breaker. This is crucial for safety.

2. Remove the Switch Cover:
Use a screwdriver to remove the screws holding the switch cover plate in place. Once the cover is off, you’ll see the light switch and its wiring.

3. Test for Power:
Before touching any wires, use a voltage tester to confirm that the power is off. This ensures there’s no electricity running to the switch.

4. Remove the Old Switch:
Unscrew the light switch from the electrical box and carefully pull it out. Take note of how the wires are connected—usually, there are two or three wires attached to the switch.

5. Disconnect the Wires:
Loosen the screws on the side of the switch to disconnect the wires. If the wires are wrapped around screws, unhook them gently.

6. Install the New Switch:
Connect the wires to the new switch by wrapping them around the screws and tightening them securely. Match the wire placement to how they were connected on the old switch.

7. Reattach the Switch:
Carefully tuck the wires back into the electrical box and screw the new switch into place. Then, replace the switch cover plate.

8. Turn On the Power:
Go back to the circuit breaker and turn the power back on. Test the switch to make sure it’s working properly.

Conclusion:
Repairing a light switch is a quick and easy project that can save you from hiring an electrician. Just remember to always turn off the power before starting any electrical work. If you’re unsure or uncomfortable with the task, it’s best to consult a professional. Happy fixing!

Here are the top 5 mortgage FAQs to help you better understand home loans and financing:

1. What is a Mortgage and How Does It Work?
- A mortgage is a loan used to finance the purchase of a home, where the property serves as collateral. Borrowers repay the loan plus interest over a specified period (typically 15 to 30 years).

2. What Types of Mortgages Are Available?
- Common types include fixed-rate mortgages (with a consistent interest rate throughout the loan term) and adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs, where the interest rate can fluctuate based on market conditions).

3. How Much Down Payment Do I Need
- While 20% is often recommended to avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI), some loans allow down payments as low as 3-5% depending on the loan type and lender.

4. What Factors Influence Mortgage Approval?
- Lenders consider factors like credit score, income, employment history, debt-to-income ratio, and the size of the down payment when deciding on mortgage approval.

5. What Are Closing Costs and Prepaid Items?
- Closing costs include fees like loan origination fees, appraisal fees, title insurance, and attorney fees. Prepaid items may include property taxes, homeowners insurance, and prepaid interest.

Understanding these key mortgage FAQs can empower you to make informed decisions when navigating the home buying process and securing financing for your new home.
