Buying Tips

Want to buy a house this year, but not sure if the timing’s right? Seasonally, it may actually be a better time to buy than you expect.

For most first-time buyers, the hardest part of buying a home is making the numbers work. You budget, you save, and the finish line still feels far away.

Most people think a newly built home costs more than an existing one. But right now, that’s actually backwards.

Lately, headlines have floated an eye-catching idea about tapping into your 401(k) to cover a down payment on a home.

You're scrolling through listings on your phone and everything looks good until you see the price (or the estimated monthly payment). Then you close the app.

Ask around and almost every homebuyer out there wants to know if there’s a way to get a better deal. And just about every seller wants to know if they'll still get top dollar.

If you’re planning to buy your next home soon, you’ve probably heard the old rule about saving 20% for your down payment.

Imagine waiting a year to buy a home, only to find mortgage rates haven't changed much. That may sound frustrating. But it's a real possibility.

After more than a year of headlines talking about how home prices are going to crash, the latest data shows that price growth may be starting to pick back up again.
