If you are a first-time homebuyer it’s easy to get caught up in what might happen with home prices next month or next year. If you’re feeling a little anxious about making such a big financial commitment, look at the big picture. The big picture is clear. Prices usually rise. And be sure to look at your local market. If you have questions, I can help!

It’s one of the biggest hold ups some buyers have right now: “What if I buy, and home prices go down?”

How are you planning on making a difference this Earth Day? Here are 3 simple things you can do to make an impact:

🌳Plant a native pollinator garden:
Native pollinators like bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies help support the rest of your local ecosystem.

📱Go paperless:
You can reduce paper waste by switching to digital options for bills, notes, and reminders.

🌍Clean up your community:
Picking up and disposing of or properly recycling litter in your neighborhood is an easy way to keep the earth clean and beautiful.

How's the market? Well, that depends on where you live. “House prices aren’t going to fall on a national scale any time soon—and that’s actually a good thing. It’s normal for house prices to rise gradually over time . . .” If you are curious about your neighborhood, I would be happy to run a market review for you.

Spend about 5 minutes online searching for news about the housing market, and odds are you’ll see something pop up about home prices.
