While putting 20% down may be the right choice for you, it's important to know that it's not always *necessary* to put that much down on your home purchase. With various loan products out there offering an array of options, it's possible to put much less down.

Questions? Wondering how much you would *need* to put down? How much your approximately monthly payment would change with a 3% down payment vs 20% down payment? Let me know and I'm happy to connect you with a mortgage lender who can evaluate your personal situation. :)

You May Not Need as Much as You Think for Your Down Payment [INFOGRAPHIC] Some Highlights Many people believe you need to put down 20% of the purchase price when you buy a home. But recent homebuyers actually put down far less on their purchase. And with programs like FHA loans, VA loans, and USDA loans, some qualified buyers are able to put down as little as 0-3.5%.

History doesn't always repeat itself, but we can definitely learn from the past. According to historical data, in most recessions, home values have appreciated and mortgage rates have declined. What does that mean for the housing market? Read on to see for yourself! :) And as always, feel free to reach out with questions!

What Past Recessions Tell Us About the Housing Market It doesn’t matter if you’re someone who closely follows the economy or not, chances are you’ve heard whispers of an upcoming recession. Economic conditions are determined by a broad range of factors, so rather than explaining them each in depth, let’s lean on the experts and what history tel...

Has a 20% down payment been holding you back from purchasing a home? Unless that is your personal preference, it sure doesn't have to be that much. Read on for an overview and don't hesitate to reach out with questions or for a lender recommendation!

Wondering How Much You Need To Save for a Down Payment? If you’re getting ready to buy your first home, you’re likely focused on saving up for everything that purchase involves. One cost that’s likely top of mind is your down payment. But don't let a common misconception about how much you need to save make the process harder than it could be.

You want your home purchase to go as smoothly as possible. Remember, before you make any large purchases, move your money around, or make major life changes, be sure to consult your lender – someone who’s qualified to explain how your financial decisions may impact your home loan.

Applying For a Mortgage? Here’s What You Should Avoid Once You Do. While it’s exciting to start thinking about moving in and decorating after you’ve applied for your mortgage, there are some key things to keep in mind before you close. Here’s a list of things you may not realize you need to avoid after applying for your home loan.

Happy closing day to my amazing buyers! It's been quite a journey but SO worth the wait. I'm thrilled for you to start this new chapter. I know you will thrive as new homeowners! 💯 Thank you for allowing me to be part of this special process!!❤️🥰

It is wish such great joy that I'm able to congratulate my newest homeowners! I had the great honor of working with Charlie & Gabby on the purchase of the absolutely beautiful new home.😍 She's a show stopper folks!

And BONUS - they were able to secure this bad boy for less than asking, received seller concessions, and did a full inspection + had ALL their repair requets completed. 🙌🎯

YOU GUYS what this means is that NOW is still a great time to buy a home.

NOW is the opportunity to negotiate on things like sale price & closing costs.

We have not had a opportunity like we do right now for YEARS.

Yes, I know rates are much higher than they have been. But that doesn't mean you should sit on the sidelines IF you're *ready*to purchase a home.

Why? Because:
⭐️ You (finally) have the opportunity to negotiate (I'm talking purchase price ppl)
⭐️ Getting things like seller paid contributions to your closing costs are back on the table
⭐️ There are great loan products like buy down options that can be used as part of the negotiation process to buy down your rate for a period of time (EG. Potentially saving you hundreds on your monthly payment)
⭐️ Home Inspections are back on the table (as they damn well should be)
⭐️ IF rates go back down as they're projected to in the 12-24 you will avoid the inevitable competition AND you can refinance

"A growing number of Americans are choosing to make their first real estate purchase as an investment property."

YES! YOU GUYS! If you have ever had a conversation with me about the best way to build wealth through a real estate portfolio you've heard me talk about this. Purchasing your first home as an investment property is such a savvy way to get started. This is a topic I get super excited about (definitely ramble on and on on this one! LOL).

Do You Believe Homeownership Is Out of Reach? Maybe It Doesn’t Have To Be. It turns out, millennials aren’t the renter generation after all. The 2022 Consumer Insights Report from Mynd says there’s a portion of millennial and Gen Z buyers who are pursuing homeownership as a way to build their wealth, but it may not be exactly the way previous generations have done it. ...

Already the FINALE, what?!

Yes, the market has changed. Yes, the incredible leverage sellers have held for the last couple years is no longer the norm. BUT there is still so much opportunity in this market.

Inventory is still incredibly low. And when properties are priced appropriately and presented well they still sell for full price or more. This lovely home is such a great example!

My amazing sellers did such a great job prepping this home for the market. We also had extensive conversations about the state of the market and where prices were trending in order to list at an appropriate value for today's landscape. The result? Multiple offers and well over list price after 2 days on the market.🙌

YES. Victories for sellers are still possible. The keys to success? Maximizing the potential of your property with specific market prep & appropriate pricing. 🎯
