Understanding mortgage terminology is key when buying a home. Here are five must-know mortgage terms:

1. Principal: The amount of money you borrow to purchase your home. It doesn’t include interest, taxes, or other fees.

2. Interest Rate: The percentage charged by your lender for borrowing money. Can be fixed (stays the same) or adjustable (changes over time).

3. Loan-to-Value Ratio (LTV): The percentage of your home's value financed by the loan. Calculated as: Loan Amount ÷ Home Value.

4. Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI): Insurance required by lenders if your down payment is less than 20%. Protects the lender, not you, in case you default on the loan.

5. Escrow: A neutral account where funds for property taxes and homeowners insurance are held by your lender. Part of your monthly mortgage payment goes into this account.

Wondering the perks of selling your home in the winter months? Here are a few:
1. Less Competition�Fewer homes are listed in December, giving your property a better chance to stand out.
2. Motivated Buyers�Buyers looking during the holiday season are often serious and motivated to close quickly, whether due to job relocations, tax purposes, or other end-of-year deadlines.
3. Festive Appeal�Homes can look warm and inviting with tasteful holiday décor, creating an emotional connection with buyers.
4. Potential Tax Benefits�Some buyers may be eager to close by year-end to take advantage of tax benefits like mortgage interest deductions.
5. Flexible Schedules�Many people have extra time off during the holidays, making it easier for buyers to tour homes and for sellers to prepare for showings.

Here are the top three real estate myths and the truth behind them:

1. Myth: You Need a 20% Down Payment to Buy a Home

Reality: While a 20% down payment can help you avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI) and lower monthly payments, it’s not a requirement. Many loan programs allow for lower down payments.

2. Myth: Selling Your Home "As-Is" Means You Don’t Have to Make Repairs

Reality: While selling “as-is” means you won’t be making repairs, buyers can still request an inspection. If major issues are uncovered, buyers may negotiate a lower price or back out of the deal. Homes in poor condition may attract fewer buyers or sell for less, so minor repairs or staging can still boost appeal.

3. Myth: You Should Always List Your Home at a Higher Price to Leave Room for Negotiation

Reality: Overpricing your home can backfire by driving away potential buyers and causing the property to sit on the market longer. Homes that linger on the market often get lower offers as buyers perceive them as less desirable. Pricing competitively based on market value can generate more interest, leading to better offers.

Closing costs are the expenses and fees that buyers and sellers pay at the conclusion of a real estate transaction. Here's a breakdown for both buyers and sellers:

Closing Costs for Buyers:
Buyers typically pay 2-5% of the home’s purchase price in closing costs. These can include: Loan-Related Fees like Origination Fee, Credit Report Fee, Appraisal Fees, Title and Escrow Fees, Government Fees like recording fees and transfer taxes. This can also include Prepaid Costs which includes property taxes, homeowners insurance, and mortgage insurance and miscellaneous fees like inspection fees and HOA fees if applicable.

Closing Costs for Sellers:
Sellers usually pay 6-10% of the home’s sale price in closing costs. These can include: Real Estate Agent Commissions which are typically split between the buyer’s and seller’s agents. Title and Escrow Fees, Transfer Taxes where applicable, prorated costs like property taxes and HOA fees up to the closing date. There can also be miscellaneous fees like attorney fees, mortgage payoff, repairs or concessions.

Some closing costs are negotiable, and the buyer or seller can agree to cover specific fees during negotiations. In some areas, certain fees are customarily paid by one party (e.g., sellers often pay for title insurance in some states).
