Headlines are saying home prices are starting to dip in some markets.
If you’re a first-time homebuyer, you might feel like the odds are stacked against you in today’s market. But there are resources and programs out there that can help – if you know where to look.
Now that buyers have more options for their move, you need to be a bit more intentional about making sure your house looks its best when you sell.
A lot of buyers are pressing pause on their plans these days, holding out hope that mortgage rates will come down – maybe even back to the historic-low 3% from a few years ago. But here’s the thing: those rates were never meant to last.
Lately, it feels like every headline about the housing market comes with a side of doubt.
Do you think a brand-new home means a bigger price tag? Think again.
Whether you’re planning to move soon or not, you want to be strategic about which home projects you take on. Because not all of them will be worth it.
You’ve probably asked yourself lately: Is it even worth trying to buy a home right now?
A few years ago, homes were flying off the shelves and getting multiple offers well over their asking price.
When you finally find the home you want to buy, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement.

- But you should only buy a home when you’re ready and able to do it. If you want to build a plan to get there, connect with a local agent.
