If you’re looking to buy a home in Pearl, MS here’s something worth knowing. A lot of the homes sold in August were between $200K–$299K, and there’s still a good amount of homes available in that range right now. I looked at the homes that sold in that price range during August, and every deal included some type of seller help with the buyer’s closing costs.

If you’re looking to buy soon, let’s talk.

New construction or an existing home…which one are you choosing?

Some people love the idea of everything being brand new. Others may prefer an existing home because of the layout, location, lot size, or established neighborhood. Neither one is automatically the better choice. It really comes down to your budget, your plans, and what matters most to you.

Comment NEW or EXISTING below. I help buyers with both.

You can actually qualify as a first-time homebuyer again with some homebuyer assistance programs.

Some programs go by whether you’ve owned a primary residence within the last 3 years not whether you’ve owned a home at some point in your life.

So if you’ve owned before and are thinking about purchasing again, there may still be options available worth looking into. Let’s see what may still be available to you.

That includes earnest money, the home inspection (which is highly recommended but optional), and the appraisal.

Just something to keep in mind as you go through the process.If you’re getting ready to buy and need help navigating the process, reach out anytime.
