June 2, 2023

The process of buying a home can feel a bit intimidating, even under normal circumstances. But today’s market is still anything but normal.

The Impact of Changing Mortgage Rates

May 26, 2023

Today, we’ll explore the factors that affect mortgage rates and how they can impact your real estate endeavors. To kick things off, let’s delve into the insightful infographic provided by Keeping Current Matters titled “The Impact of Changing Mortgage Rates.” This visually engaging resource clearly explains how mortgage rates can shape the housing market and your investment strategies. Please take a moment to explore the infographic here, as it beautifully illustrates the key concepts we’ll be discussing. Mortgage rates hold sway over the cost of borrowing, affecting both real estate affordability and the return on investment for property investors. When rates are low, as we’ve seen in the recent past, property becomes more affordable for homebuyers. That can stimulate demand, potentially leading to price appreciation — a boon for investors. However, when rates rise, affordability diminishes, which could dampen property prices. For investors, knowing when to ride the wave and when to stay ashore is a delicate balance. But what factors influence these mortgage rates? Let’s break it down: Economic Factors Economic conditions, such as inflation, economic growth, and employment rates, strongly influence mortgage rates.

The Power of Pre-Approval

May 22, 2023

If you’re buying a home this spring, today’s housing market can feel like a challenge. With so few homes on the market right now, plus higher mortgage rates, it’s essential to have a firm grasp on your homebuying budget. You’ll also need a sense of determination to find the right house and act quickly when you go to put in an offer. One thing you can do to help you prepare is to get pre-approved. To understand why it’s such an important step, you need to know what pre-approval is. As part of the process, a lender looks at your finances to determine what they’d be willing to loan you. From there, your lender will give you a pre-approval letter to help you understand how much money you can borrow. Freddie Mac explains it like this: “A pre-approval is an indication from your lender that they are willing to lend you a certain amount of money to buy your future home. . . . Keep in mind that the loan amount in the pre-approval letter is the lender’s maximum offer. Ultimately, you should only borrow an amount you are comfortable repaying.” Basically, pre-approval gives you critical information about the homebuying process that’ll help

May 11, 2023

If you’re looking to buy a house, you may find today’s limited supply of homes available for sale challenging. When housing inventory is as low as it is right now, it can feel like a bit of an uphill battle to find the perfect home for you because there just isn’t that much to choose from. If you need to open up your pool of options, it may be time to consider a newly built home. According to the latest data from the U.S. Census, there’s positive news when it comes to new home construction.
