5 Tips Before Buying a Home

Posted on by Living Room Realty

BEFORE you buy a home, know these 5 things 👇

#1. How much you’re approved for if you’re financing and how much of your monthly budget do you want to dedicate to your housing costs?

#2. If you’re financing, be sure to talk to at least 2 lenders to compare products and rates.

#3. Find a realtor who is knowledgeable about the neighborhoods you’re looking in and that you connect with. Buying a home can be an intimate process so it’s important to feel aligned with your realtor’s “style”.

#4. How competitive is the market for buyers right now? Having perspective before you start shopping can help make the process smoother.

#5. What are the top things you’re looking for in a home that you AREN’T willing to compromise on?

Unsure of what to do in a shifting market?

Posted on by Living Room Realty

You’ve heard by now how fast interest rates are rising. From the thick of it, I can tell you that, yes, buyer traffic is slowing down because of it. If you’re a buyer, you may feel like the homes within your new budget are all of a sudden less “desirable”. But I must say, even though we still have extremely tight inventory, about a quarter of the homes I’m seeing on the market are going through a price reduction right now. Take heart! For the savvy buyer, there is still a lot to be gained.⁣
⁣
Remember that interest rates fluctuate, and what we experienced in the last two years was anything but normal. This sharp increase in rates may have you reeling, but overall this will contribute to more stability and predictability to the market we all could use.⁣
⁣
I empathize with you — no one likes a feeling of instability. If interest rates have you doubting your decisions, here are a few ways I can support you. I’m always open for a call, but if you’d like something a little more low-key, you can sign up for my newsletter where my lender partner and I keep you updated with everything you need to know about market movements in order to make an informed decision. Email me and I’ll add you to the list.
