Doom and gloom sells, but what's the truth?

Doom and gloom sells, but what's the truth?

One of the biggest reasons buyers are still sitting on the sidelines is because they think home prices are going to come down.

Still deciding whether to buy your first home now or wait? Here’s something you’ll want to consider.

Buyers who get into their first home around age 30 build about $119,000 more in net worth by age 50 compared to those who wait until their 40s.

So, every year you spend saving for the "right" moment could quietly chip away at your future wealth.

That doesn’t mean buy before you’re ready. But it does mean, if you’re ready and able to buy now, it may be a better strategy than waiting.

DM me and let's map out what timeline fits your situation and our market. You might find that a head start matters more than waiting to save the "perfect" down payment.

You've probably heard that mortgage debt in America just hit an all-time high. And that's true.
But here's what the headline leaves out.

Equity is also near an all-time high. And at $34.1 trillion, it's more than double the $14.4 trillion in debt.

That's a good thing. It means most homeowners own far more than they owe. So, they have a real financial cushion right now.

That’s something homeowners didn’t have during the crash of 2008. Back then, people owed more than their homes were worth. Today, it’s just the opposite.

Homeowners are in a much better position, and the housing market is on stronger footing than the headlines suggest.

80% of homeowners still expect to get their asking price or more when they sell. But right now, only about 40% actually do.

That might sound surprising, but it’s not. It’s normal.

The issue is where those outdating pricing expectations are coming from.

Some sellers are still pricing high just to “see what happens.” And that strategy doesn’t work now that inventory has grown.

When a house is priced above where it should be today, buyers don’t negotiate. They move on to other options.

That’s when homes sit, and sellers have to slash prices – sometimes below what they could’ve gotten if they’d just priced right from the start.

That’s why the sellers getting the best results right now are doing something different.

They’re pricing at (or even slightly below) market value from day 1. Because that’s what creates demand early and puts you in a position to sell faster… and potentially for more.

So don’t price based on the past. Price for today’s market.

Be honest. Have you started looking at homes online yet? If you have, it’s already time to get pre-approved.

Online searches for down payment information recently hit an all-time high. That shows a lot of buyers aren’t sure what’s actually required, and they’re looking for answers.

Unfortunately, many still think they have to put 20% down.

But the data says something very different is happening.

The typical first-time buyer actually puts down about 10% – that’s half of what you probably expected. And some do as little as 3.5% or even 0% down (depending on their loan type).

So, that 20% myth is only holding you back and delaying your timeline more than necessary.

If you’re curious about what’s really required, it’s worth having a conversation with a trusted lender. A true expert can give you better information than an online search.

Then let's chat about what your budget can get you in today’s market.

Not every house is selling for over asking anymore.

In fact, it’s down to about 1 in 4 homes today, compared to nearly half in 2021.

And that's a good sign for buyers. It means the market is getting back to normal.

Now, this is going to vary by area. But overall, it means you may find sellers with more wiggle room on their price today. And in a lot of places, negotiation is back on the table.

Let’s make the most of it.

For some families who want to buy, the numbers just aren’t lining up right now.

Between ongoing affordability challenges and rising childcare costs, it can feel like you have to choose either buying a house or paying for daycare.

But a growing number of people are finding a smart solution where they can do both: buying a multi-generational home.

1 in 7 buyers purchase a home with their parents, grandparents, or other relatives. And here’s how that helps.

By combining incomes and sharing expenses, they can finally afford to buy. And it even makes childcare easier when loved ones all live under one roof.

Sometimes the path to homeownership isn’t doing it alone. It’s doing it together.
