Real Estate

If you were worried buyer demand disappeared when mortgage rates went up,
the data shows there are plenty of interested buyers still out there. The
housing market isn’t as frenzied as it was during the ‘unicorn’ years when
buyer demand was through the roof, mortgage rates were historically low,
and home values rose like we’ve never seen before. But that doesn’t mean
the market is at a standstill.

When you read about the housing market, you’ll probably come across some
information about inflation or recent decisions made by the Federal Reserve
(the Fed). But how do those two things impact you and your homebuying
plans? Here’s what you need to know.

If you’re thinking about selling your house on your own, called “For Sale
by Owner” or FSBO, there are some important things to consider. Going this
route means taking on a lot of responsibilities by yourself – and that can
be a bit of a headache.

There’s no denying the long-term financial benefits of owning a home, but
today’s housing market may have you wondering if now’s still the time to
buy. While the financial aspects of homeownership are important, the
non-financial and emotional reasons are too. Here’s why.

As the new year approaches, the idea of buying a home might be on your
mind. It’s an exciting goal to set, and it’s never too early to start
laying the groundwork. One crucial step to prepare for homeownership is
building a solid credit score.

Even though winter is typically a slow time for real estate, it doesn’t
mean it isn’t a good time to purchase a home. Buying a home during this
traditional “off” season could work for you depending on the real estate
market where you want to move and your personal circumstances.
