🚨 Is the real estate market heading for a crash? 🚨

Experts say no.

Talk of recession has led some Americans to fear a housing crash like we saw in 2008. But many economists say that outcome is unlikely.

In 2023, housing inventory remains low compared to demand, unlike in 2008 when we had a housing surplus. Plus, lending reform has significantly reduced the likelihood of defaults.

While market uncertainty is always nerve-wracking, real estate remains a solid long-term investment—and slower markets are often the best time to get a good deal on a home.

Happy MLK Day, and today- I’m GRATEFUL for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and all of his many accomplishments— since this is a Real Estate Page we’re going to talk about fair housing!

Article 10, REALTOR CODE OF ETHICS REALTORS®, in their real estate employment practices, shall not discriminate against any person or persons on the basis of race, color, religion, s*x, disability, familial status, national origin, s*xual orientation, or gender identity. (Amended 1/23)
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 13+ years as the leader of the American Civil Rights movement pushed more forward progress towards racial inequalities than in the previous hundreds of years, and while his rightful impact in the establishment of legislations like the Civil Rights Act of 1963 and the Votings Rights Act of 1964 is often well known, Dr. King took up a fight against housing inequality that is often overshadowed by some of his other accomplishments.
When Dr. King shifted his focus to economic justice, he rallied alongside the Chicago Open Housing Movement (The Chicago Freedom Movement) and other equal rights organizations to ask local government and businesses to end discriminatory housing practices.
“We are here today because we are tired,” Dr. King said. “We are tired of paying more for less. We are tired of living in rat-infested slums… We are tired of having to pay a median rent of $97 a month in Lawndale for four rooms while whites living in South Deering pay $73 a month for five rooms.” Dr. King suppported bringing The Fair Housing Act, - which would become known as Title VIII of the Civil RIghts Act of 1968-a federal legislation that later on passed to prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, s*x, disability, family status and national origin to Congress in 1966. It was overlooked for years—until Dr. King's assassination. Just seven Days after Dr. King was murdered, Congress gave the final push and President Lydon Johnson signed Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 into law - which now protects people when they are renting, buying, securing a mortgage, or other housing-related activities.

A growing number of parents are helping their adult children buy their first homes.

If you’re looking for ways to help your own kids step onto the property ladder, here are a few ideas:

🏡Gift money toward a down payment. If your own financial house is in order, you may be in a position to help your child take their first step on the property ladder.

🏡Cosign the mortgage. Make sure you understand the risks beforehand, but cosigning could help them qualify for a better mortgage rate.

🏡 Loan them the money yourself. If you’re in a position to do so, you could charge them a lower interest rate than a bank. However, make sure you understand the tax implications.

Before you get started, you should consult with a tax and/or legal professional for advice. Reach out with any questions or for a referral.

Thinking of selling your home? Strategic renovations can help you get the most money possible. 💰

It may seem counterintuitive to invest in a home you’re about to sell—but putting a little money into repairs and improvements before you list can have a big payoff.

Only 6% of today’s buyers are looking for a DIY fixer-upper. The vast majority want a move-in ready home, so issues or dated features can be a huge turnoff.

That’s why we work with our home seller clients to identify the updates that are worth their time and investment.

📣BEWARE OF INSTANT CASH OFFERS FOR YOUR HOME

The US Federal Trade Commission recently fined online home buying firm Opendoor $62 million for “cheating” home sellers.

The company was deceiving homeowners by claiming that “they could make more money selling their home to Opendoor than on the open market using the traditional sales process.”

Companies like Opendoor (aka iBuyers or direct buyers) use computer algorithms to offer home sellers quick cash offers. But don’t be fooled by their splashy advertising—these offers are almost always below market value.

According to MarketWatch, transactions involving iBuyers net sellers a whopping 11% less than those conducted by a real estate agent on the open market.

Listing your home with an agent is the proven way to maximize its sale price. Contact us today for a free consultation to find out what your home is really worth.
