Owning a home means making monthly mortgage payments — but that isn’t all. You might be surprised by how many expenses come alongside your own house. Here are a few things you should make room for in your budget before becoming a homeowner.


Monthly expenses: You’ll need to pay principal and interest payments on your mortgage, real estate taxes, homeowner’s insurance, utilities like electricity and water, and maybe even homeowner’s association dues.
Repairs: When something breaks in your home, you can’t just call the landlord anymore. It’s best to address problems as they come up, so they don’t worsen into larger problems. Set aside $500-1,000 a year for small repairs.
Improvements: Think ahead about when you’ll want to remodel, update landscaping, or add new features, so you can start putting money away now. Experts suggest putting away 1-3% of the purchase price of your home for improvements.
These are all important things to keep in mind as you figure out your home buying budget. If you have any questions about buying or financing a home, don’t hesitate to reach out.

If you put your house on the market now,
what's the strangest thing buyers would see in your home?

Now that the peak home buying season is upon us – we have a little more data on how the market is performing. No pearl clutching headlines here, but still, we find it interesting (accusations of being a geek might be valid) and hope you will as well.

𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 – Supply is up 14% over last year but still 31% below normal according to the Cromford Report. Compare the following numbers just for contrast. We have as of the writing of this report – 16,886 active listings vs. 4400 just 2 years ago. Wow. Below normal looks pretty normal by comparison. As usual though, the numbers need further examination. It is the top end of the market is where the supply is plentiful. Homes over 10 million currently have a2.6 year supply. Between 5-10 million – 16 months supply. Between 3-5 million, 8 months of supply. Like price, location also determines supply. Outlying areas have more supply such as Buckeye, Maricopa and Casa Grande. Butthat shifts the closer homes are to the city center as the Cromford Report explains:” … many cities that are closer to Phoenix and are dominated by homes under $1 million still have a tight supply and buyers outnumber sellers in most of these areas.” The moral: marketplaces are really a combination of micro markets that must be independently evaluated.

𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 - Not shockingly, higher interest rates are keeping buyer demand below normal levels. Depending on one’s view – this is not entirely bad news. Why? Price. With supply and demand somewhat in abeyance, pricing is fairlystable. As the Cromford Report shares:
“…Those who have been keeping these updates over the past year have probably noticed that the median sales price has barely moved for 10 months. Starting at $440,000 from June-July 2023, stagnating at $435,000 from September-December, dropping to $430,000 from January-February 2024, and now back up to $441,000 in March. While the current appreciation rate from last March measures +5.8%, over the next 2 months this will start to move closer to 3%, which is in line with the rate of inflation. This 10-month stagnation in price, which has endured erratic mortgage rates ranging from 7-8%, has allowed some breathing room for annual incomes to catch up to prices”

𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆

“There is still no sign of a market crash in the short or medium term, but the market is struggling to gain traction. The healthy amount of incoming supply is not quite matched by a small improvement in demand and the balance between sellers and buyers only favors sellers by a small amount when considering the market as a whole. In many sectors of the market, buyers have more negotiating room, even though, judging by the recent price movements, most of them do not seem to realize this..”
If the last few years have taught us nothing else – markets can shift sometimes unexpectedly. As always, we will keep you informed when we see.

2024 began with a slight advantage for home sellers. Why? December typically ends with less active listings every year as a number of listings expire on the 31st. Additionally, we saw a little bump in buyer demand as interest rates became more attractive. Those two small changes pushed the market out of the balanced zone (which only lasted 7 weeks) to one that slightly favors sellers.
But saying we are in a slight sellers’ market is still misleading as most generalities are. The luxury market has performed completely differently than the rest of the market – as the luxury market is not interest rate sensitive. Beyond price points, geographic submarkets can also perform uniquely. As of the writing of this article, here is where the geographic submarkets stand according to the Cromford Report:
“Not all cities are in a seller’s market, the distribution is as follows from strongest-to-weakest:
Seller’s Markets: Tolleson, Apache Junction, Fountain Hills, Chandler, Gilbert, Laveen, El Mirage, Anthem, Glendale, Sun Lakes, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Avondale
Balanced Markets: Tempe, Litchfield Park, Sun City West, Peoria, Goodyear, Surprise, Paradise Valley, Arizona City
Buyer’s Markets: Cave Creek, Gold Canyon, Queen Creek, Sun City, Casa Grande, Buckeye, Maricopa
Most cities are either gradually improving or holding steady in their market measures. “
This remains a muted market with contract activity well below normal (making this a good time to hug your real estate agent). As the Cromford Report states: “We are starting 2024 with one of the lowest counts of listings under contract we have ever recorded for the start of any year (5,127). We measured 5,456 last year and 9,393 in 2022. We have to go back all the way to the dark days of 2008 to find a lower count (3,468). 2007 was also very bad, but at 5,197 it just beats the 2024 reading.” Gulp. If we compare unfavorably to 2007 that is anemic indeed.
What will 2024 bring? The Cromford Report offers this: “It’s not reasonable to expect another insane market with skyrocketing prices like 2020-2021, or another 12.5% drop in values like 2022. It could be quite boring in terms of price for the first quarter, but uplifting with more traditional home buyers getting back in the game. “ Boring sounds kind of nice, doesn’t it?
Boring is much better for our buyers and sellers.
