Why buying or selling a home helps the economy and your economy!

See the next graph to see the impact of a typical sale!!

In fact , for every home built it can sustain three full time jobs for a yr & one job for every 100k in remodeling spending (per NAHB research)

🔸1. Lean on a Real Estate Professional. Agents are local market experts. They know what’s worked for other buyers in your area and what sellers may be looking for in an offer.

🔸2. Know Your Budget. The best way to understand your numbers is to work with a lender so you can get pre-approved for a loan.

🔸3. Think Through Everything Before Making an Offer. While it’s still important to stay on top of the market and be prepared to move quickly, there can be more flexibility today.

🔸4. Work with Your Advisor To Negotiate. During the pandemic, some buyers skipped home inspections or didn’t ask for concessions from the seller in order to submit the winning bid on a home. Fortunately, today’s market is different, and you may have more negotiating power than before. When putting together an offer, your trusted real estate advisor will help you think through what levers to pull.

The biggest challenge in the housing market is how few houses there are for sale compared to the number of people who want to buy. The number of homes for sale is up from last year but below pre-pandemic numbers, and that means we’re still in a sellers’ market. The housing market needs more homes for sale to meet the demand of today’s buyers. If you’ve thought about selling, DM me today.

Before you buy a home, it’s important to plan ahead. While most buyers consider how much they need to save for a down payment, many are surprised by the closing costs they have to pay.

🟠What Are Closing Costs?

Your closing costs are a collection of fees and payments involved with your transaction. According to Freddie Mac, while they can vary by location and situation, closing costs typically include:

• Government recording costs
• Appraisal fees
• Credit report fees
• Lender origination fees
• Title services
• Tax service fees
• Survey fees
• Attorney fees
• Underwriting Fees

🟠How Much Will You Need To Budget for Closing Costs?

According to Freddie Mac, the costs to close are typically between 2% and 5% of the total purchase price of your home.

It’s important to plan for the fees and payments you’ll be responsible for at closing. DM me so you can feel confident throughout the process.

The housing market has gone through a lot of change recently! Now, as we move through 2023, there are signs things are finally going to turn around. Home price appreciation is slowing from the recent frenzy, mortgage rates are coming down, inflation is easing, and overall market activity is starting to pick up. All of that’s great news for the housing market this year. Here’s what experts are saying!

🟠“The current state of the housing market is that it is certainly in transition.”

🟠“Housing is going to ease up. I think 2023 will be a turnaround year.”

🟠“Mortgage rates have fallen in the recent past weeks, so I’m very hopeful that the worst in home sales is probably coming to an end.”

🟠“. . . it appears a turning point for housing lies ahead. In the coming quarters, single-family home building will rise off of cycle lows as mortgage rates are expected to trend lower and boost housing affordability.”

If you’re thinking about making a move this year, a turnaround in the housing market could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for. DM me to learn about the latest trends in your area.
