2022 was another crazy year in real eatate! This is the second year in a row, I achieved the NJ Realtors Circle of Excellence GOLD award (almost made platinum 😉) and I could not have done it without my amazing clients that trusted me to get the job done. Thank you for all your continued trust, referrals and support. This year came with several challenges, that included personal health issues and life changing events. Some very stressful but mostly wonderful, like the birth of my second grandson, a true blessing 🙏🏻 My family is and always has been there for me through it all. Especially my husband Ahmad who supported me through every challenging deal from start to finish. I true life partner! I look forward to another amazing year and I would be honored to help you with your real estate needs. I’m only a phone call away! Congratulations to all of the 2022 winners! 🏆🎉👏🏻

Thank you to all of my clients for making 2022 my best year yet! With almost $20 million in sales, I traveled to Morris, Passaic, Union and even Monmouth county to find the perfect homes for my clients. My 20 + years in the business helped me negotiate not just residential contracts, but also multi family and commercial contracts and leases. As a buyers agent I was able to negotiate prices that earned my clients equity even before closing! As a listing agent, I got my clients top dollar, and in some cases, had to go through multiple contracts until we had one that stuck and closed. I was confronted with many issues including appraisals, financing, environmental and inspection issues. Bottom line is that when things got tough, I kept calm and found a solution to get things done! This business comes with a lot of obstacles and working with the right experienced agent will get you to the closing table! Old fashioned hard work, dedication and determination is how I work. Looking forward to a great year ahead! If anyone is interested in finding out more about residential or commercial real estate opportunities, give me a call 😉 I’m always available to hop on a call and answer any questions or even just for advise!

When you rent, you build your landlord’s wealth, your monthly payment depends on ever-rising rents, and you don’t benefit from home price appreciation. On the other hand, when you own your home, you build your own wealth, your monthly payment is locked in, and you benefit directly from home price appreciation. If you’re feeling the challenges of a competitive market, remember that homeownership is a long-term game. Persevering today will lead to financial rewards in the future.

Skyrocketing prices are causing some to start questioning affordability in the current housing market. Many are quick to emphasize the fact that homes today are less affordable than they were last year. Black Knight, a leading provider of data and analytics across the homeownership life cycle, just reported on the issue.

Right now, housing payments are slightly less affordable than the five-year average – but only by less than ½ a percentage point. However, they’re significantly more affordable than the 25-year average. Put another way, a buyer will likely make a slightly greater financial sacrifice to afford a home right now than if they purchased a home within the last five years. On the other hand, it also means the potential financial sacrifice is not nearly as great as what it was over the last 25 years.

Does making a sacrifice to buy a home today make financial sense in the long term? Last week, the Federal Reserve announced that, in the first three months of the year, household net worth increased by $968 billion based solely on the values of the real estate they owned. Another report from CoreLogic reveals the average annual gain in homeowner equity was $33,400 per borrower.

Owning a home is an essential steppingstone to grow a household’s net worth. Despite the slightly greater sacrifice in the percentage of monthly income you’ll spend on housing today, for most homebuyers, the payoff of starting to build equity now will be worth it. When you consider the equity gain and weigh the long-term benefits of building your net worth, you may question if you can afford not to buy now.

In today’s real estate market, mortgage interest rates are near record lows. If you’ve been in your current home for several years and haven’t refinanced lately, there’s a good chance you have a mortgage with an interest rate higher than today’s average. Here are some options you should consider if you want to take advantage of today’s current low rates before they rise.

>>Sell and Move Up (or Downsize)
If you’re considering either of these, there may not be a better time to move. Today’s rates are below 3%, but experts forecast rates to rise over the next few years. If the interest rate on your current mortgage is higher than today’s average, take advantage of this opportunity by making a move and securing a lower rate. Lower rates mean you may be able to get more house for your money and still have a lower monthly mortgage payment than you might expect. Waiting, however, might mean you miss out on this historic opportunity.

No matter what, whether you’re looking to make a move up or downsize to a home that better suits your needs, now is the time. Even a small change in interest rates can have a big impact on your purchasing power.

>>Refinance
If making a move right now still doesn’t feel right for you, consider refinancing. With the current low mortgage rates, refinancing is a great option if you’re looking to lower your monthly payments and stay in your current home.

Take advantage today’s low rates before they begin to rise. Whether you’re thinking about moving up, downsizing, or refinancing, DM me today to discuss your options.

Home equity – the difference between the value of your home and what you currently owe – isn’t just built through your monthly principal payments. Home price appreciation plays a vital role in growing equity and, ultimately, your wealth.

CoreLogic recently published their latest Homeowner Equity Insights Report, and it shows continued growth in equity amidst record home price appreciation. The report provides several key takeaways, all of which point to rising wealth for homeowners:
>>The average equity gain of mortgaged homes during the past year was $33,400
>>The current average equity of mortgaged homes is greater than $216,000
>>There was a 19.6% increase in total homeowner equity over the past year
>>Total U.S. homeowner equity has reached nearly $1.9 trillion

In addition to being a critical tool in building wealth, a homeowner’s equity also provides significant flexibility. When you sell your house, the accumulated equity comes back to you in the sale. Recent increases in equity coupled with record-low mortgage rates means it could be the perfect time for homeowners looking to make a move.

Home equity has always been a powerful wealth-building tool, and homeowners continue to see their financial stability increase. DM me today so you can better understand how much equity you have in your current home or if you’re ready to take the next step in building your savings as a homeowner.

You may have been told that it’s important to get pre-approved at the beginning of the homebuying process, but what does that really mean, and why is it so important? Especially in today’s market, with rising home prices and high buyer competition, it’s crucial to have a clear understanding of your budget so you stand out to sellers as a serious homebuyer.

Being intentional and competitive are musts when buying a home right now. Pre-approval from a lender is the only way to know your true price range and how much money you can borrow for your loan. Just as important, being able to present a pre-approval letter shows sellers you’re a qualified buyer, something that can really help you land your dream home in an ultra-competitive market.

With limited housing inventory, there are many more buyers active in the market than there are sellers, and that’s creating some serious competition. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), homes are receiving an average of 5.1 offers for sellers to consider. As a result, bidding wars are more and more common. Pre-approval gives you an advantage if you get into a multiple-offer scenario, and these days, it’s likely you will.

Every step you can take to gain an advantage as a buyer is crucial when today’s market is constantly changing. You’re going to need guidance to navigate these waters, so it’s important to have a team of professionals such as a loan officer and a trusted real estate agent making sure you take the right steps and can show your qualifications as a buyer when you find a home to purchase.

As we move into the latter half of the year, questions about what’s to come are top of mind for buyers and sellers. Near record-low mortgage rates coupled with rising home price appreciation kicked off a robust housing market in the first half of 2021, but what does the forecast tell us about what’s on the horizon?

Mortgage Rates Will Likely Increase, but Remain Low

Many experts are projecting a rise in interest rates. However, even as mortgage rates rise, the anticipated increase is expected to be modest at most, and still well below historic averages. Rates remaining low is good news for homebuyers who are looking to maximize their purchasing power.

Home Price Appreciation Will Continue, but Price Growth Will Likely Slow

Experts remain optimistic about home prices, too. Joe Seydl, Senior Markets Economist at J.P. Morgan, shares, “Homebuyers—interest rates are still historically low, though they are inching up. Housing prices have spiked during the last six-to-nine months, but we don’t expect them to fall soon, and we believe they are more likely to keep rising.”

Inventory Remains a Challenge, but There’s Reason To Be Optimistic

Home prices are rising, but they should moderate as more housing inventory comes to market. George Ratiu, Senior Economist at realtor.com, notes there are signs that we may see the current inventory challenges lessen, slowing the fast-paced home price appreciation and creating more choices for buyers.

As we look at the forecast for prices, interest rates, inventory, and home sales, experts remain optimistic about what’s on the horizon for the second half of 2021. DM me today to discuss how we can navigate the market together in the coming months.

For generations, the process of buying and selling a home never really changed. A homeowner would try to estimate the market value of their house, then tack on a little extra to give themselves some negotiating room. That figure would become the listing price. Buyers would then try to determine how much less than the full price they could offer and still get the home. As a result, the listing price was generally the ceiling of the negotiation. The actual sales price would almost always be somewhat lower than what was listed. It was unthinkable to pay more than what the seller was asking.

Today is different. The record-low supply of homes for sale coupled with very strong buyer demand is leading to a rise in bidding wars on many homes. Because of this, homes today often sell for more than the list price. In some cases, they sell for a lot more. According to Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors (NAR), “For every listing there are 5.1 offers. Half of the homes are being sold above list price.”

In this market, you likely can’t shop for a home with the former approach of negotiating to a lower price. Due to the low supply of houses for sale, many homes are now being offered in an auction-like atmosphere in which the highest bidder wins the home. Today, the asking price is often becoming the floor of the negotiation rather than the ceiling. Therefore, if you really love a home, know that it may ultimately sell for more than the sellers are asking. So, as you’re navigating the homebuying process, make sure you know your budget, know what you can afford, and DM me so I can help you make all the right moves as you buy a home.
