First-Time Buyers

A lot of buyers are stuck in “wait and see” mode right now.

If you stepped back from your home search over the past few years, you’re not alone – and you’re definitely not out of options. In fact, now might be the ideal time to take another look. 

Mortgage rates have been the monster under the bed for a while. Every time they tick up, people flinch and say, “Maybe I’ll wait.” But here’s the twist. Waiting for that perfect 5-point-something rate could end up haunting your wallet later.

If you paused your plans to move because of high rates or prices, it may finally be time to take a second look at your numbers. 

You want mortgage rates to fall – and they've started to. But is it going to last? And how low will they go?

If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, now’s the time to lean in. It’s officially the best time to buy this year. 

A recent survey from Bank of America asked would-be homebuyers what would help them feel better about making a move, and it’s no surprise the answers have a clear theme.

If you’re planning to buy a home this year, there’s one expense you can’t afford to overlook: closing costs. 

You’ve been waiting for what feels like forever for mortgage rates to finally budge. And last week, they did – in a big way.

If you’re still worried about having to deal with a bidding war when you buy a home, you may be able to let some of that fear go.
