When do I encourage a buyer to skip out on a home inspection? Almost never. 🙅‍♀️

Even with an "as-is" sale, it's wise to invest in an inspection. Being aware of any potential issues upfront can save you time, money, and headaches down the road. It's a small expense compared to the peace of mind gained from knowing exactly what you're getting into.

Buying new construction? A home inspection is crucial because it can uncover issues that may not be apparent to the untrained eye, such as hidden defects or construction errors.

What's stopping you from buying a home?

If it's because you don't think you have enough money saved yet ➡️ There are mortgage programs that require a lower down payment or offer assistance for first-time homebuyers.

If you're unsure if you want to commit to living in one place for an extended period ➡️ Purchase a property that can be easily rented out if you need to relocate. This can provide flexibility and income potential while allowing you to maintain ownership.

If the fluctuating market scares you and you have a fear of buying at the "wrong time" ➡️ Rather than trying to time the market perfectly, focus on your long-term financial goals and stability. Real estate historically appreciates over time, so if you're planning to stay in the home for several years, short-term fluctuations are less critical.

Great advice for sellers! Here's another reminder about the importance of making a strong first impression in this competitive real estate market.

When you decide to buy your first home, you may come across a number of terms you’re not familiar with. While you may have a general idea of what an inspection is, maybe you’re not sure why you need one or how it’s different from an appraisal. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you out:

Home Inspection: 🕵️‍♂️🔍 Once you’re under contract on a home you’d like to buy, getting an inspection is a key part of the process. It ensures the safety and condition of your potential new home, and it's key for negotiating any needed repairs.

Home Appraisal: 💰🏠 While the inspection tells you about the current state of the house, an appraisal gives you its value. It determines the current market value of the home to make sure you're paying a fair price and protecting your investment. If there's a discrepancy between the appraisal and the contract price, your agent will help you navigate the negotiations to close the gap.

Both are crucial in the home buying process!

Struggling to find a home within your budget? Don't overlook townhomes and condos!

These options offer great value, helping you start building equity without breaking the bank. Plus, they typically require less maintenance, making homeownership more manageable. 🏡💰

Where is Greenville, South Carolina? 🤔

I talk about it all the time, but figured I'd show you in case you weren't sure! Greenville is located in the northwest corner of SC, at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a Southern portion of the Appalachian Mountains.

It's roughly 102 miles from Charlotte, NC, 146 miles from Atlanta, GA, and 257 miles from Savannah, GA - making it a really central area to live in!

There are two types of homes on the market: new and existing. If you've never considered a new construction home, here are 2 reasons why you may want to reconsider:

🏡 Adding newly built homes to your search gives you more options. From 1983 to 2019 (the last normal year in the market), newly built homes made up only 13% of the total inventory of homes for sale. But today that number is said to have climbed to over 33%.

🏡 Newly built homes may be more affordable than you may think. The price gap between new and existing homes is shrinking and some builders are even offering price cuts and mortgage rate buy-downs right now to sweeten the deal.

Just know that buying a newly built home isn’t the same as buying an existing one. So, partner with a local agent (👋) who knows the market, builder reputations, and what to look for in those contracts so you have an expert on your side to help you explore this option.

If you’re used to moving each time your lease renews and your rent continues to climb each year, it's time to consider homeownership. Think about it...
