In real estate, a good first impression is key. If the outside of a house looks welcoming, more people will want to come in and see it.

Trying to buy your first home? If you’re worried about affordability today or the limited number of homes for sale, these tips can help.

With the number of new listings going up and average days on market going down, buyers may have more options, but will still want to move fast.

Wondering if now’s a good time to sell your house?

If you’re looking to buy a home in 2024, getting pre-approved is a key piece of the puzzle. Mortgage pre-approval means a lender checks your finances and decides how much you’re qualified to borrow.

Some Highlights

• As you get ready to sell your house, there are specific things you can add to your to-do list.
• These include decluttering, taking down personal photos and items, and power washing outdoor surfaces.

Some Highlights

• The biggest challenge in the housing market is how few houses there are for sale compared to the number of people who want to buy.
• The number of homes for sale is up from last year but below pre-pandemic numbers, and that means we’re still in a sellers’ market.

Some Highlights

• In today’s housing market, you can still be the champion if you have the right team and strategy.
• To win as a buyer, you need to build your team, make strategic plays, consider what’s in and out of bounds, and stand out from the crowd.

Some Highlights

• Many people believe you need to put down 20% of the purchase price when you buy a home. But recent homebuyers actually put down far less on their purchase.
• And with programs like FHA loans, VA loans, and USDA loans, some qualified buyers are able to put down as little as 0-3.5%.
