The valuation of a home isn't really a big secret. It all depends on the basic economics of supply versus demand, and a comparison to the recently sold comparables in the market. How many homes are currently on the market? How many active buyers are in the market? How much have similar homes been selling for? It shouldn't be looked at as 'avoiding a bad appraisal', but rather looked at as being prepared by having an idea of what the value of the home is before the offer is made. "Someboy has to do that work on the front side, before that offer is out." #RealEstate #HomeAppraisal Learn more in our new blog post at https://www.dnarealtyteam.com/blog or DM us now to receive the even more in-depth newsletter.

The real estate market is typically flooded after an interest rate decrease because lower interest rates make borrowing money cheaper, which encourages more people to buy homes. When interest rates drop, mortgage payments become more affordable, allowing buyers to qualify for larger loans or reduce their monthly payments. This increase in affordability attracts more buyers to the market, driving up demand for homes. Sellers also take advantage of the increased demand by listing their properties, hoping to sell quickly or at a higher price. Additionally, existing homeowners may consider upgrading to larger or more expensive homes, knowing they can finance the purchase at a lower cost. This combination of increased buyer interest and more homes being listed creates a surge in market activity, often leading to a flood of real estate transactions. In short, a decrease in interest rates makes homebuying more attractive and affordable, which boosts demand and increases the number of properties available for sale, resulting in a busy real estate market. #interestrates #homeownership #realestate #Raleigh #Durham #movingtoRaleigh

Taking out a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) while property values are up can be a smart financial move because it allows you to tap into the increased equity of your home. When property values rise, the equity in your home—the difference between your home's market value and what you owe on your mortgage—also increases. This means you can potentially borrow more money at a favorable interest rate, as HELOCs typically offer lower rates compared to other forms of credit, like personal loans or credit cards. With a HELOC, you can access funds as needed, paying interest only on what you actually use. This flexibility makes it a great option for financing home improvements, consolidating high-interest debt, or covering unexpected expenses. Additionally, since your home backs the loan, you might get better terms, such as lower interest rates or higher credit limits, than with unsecured loans. However, it’s important to remember that a HELOC is secured by your home, so if property values were to decline or if you have trouble making payments, there could be risks. But overall, leveraging a HELOC when property values are high can be a smart way to maximize the financial benefits of your home’s increased value. #HELOC #RealEstate #WakeCounty #Durham #Raleigh
