🐭Are you a city mouse, suburban mouse or country mouse?
This quiz is silly. Your location decision isn't!

Before choosing an area, actually LIVE your routine there for a minute.

Drive your potential commute during rush hour. Check the distance to groceries, restaurants, doctors, entertainment and the things you do regularly. If schools matter, research your options independently. Think about internet and other services if you're considering rural areas.

💚Don't choose an area based only on how much house your money buys there. Choose it based on HOW you actually want to live.

🏡You can change almost anything about a house. You can't change where it sits.

Confused by the housing market? Seems you're not the only one...

Same outlet, ONE DAY apart. Seems it's either the worst time to sell a home OR Huntsville's market is "hotter than an Alabama Summer." Guess it depends upon whether it's Sunday or Monday????

Truthfully, there are issues with both stories. One has data, but nothing local. One has plenty of local flavor, but reliant on words like "expectations" and short on data. Neither is wrong, but neither is quite right either.

The truth, as usual, is somewhere in the middle.

We speak fluent "Middle". And Economics (both Neoclassical and Behavioral). And Risk Mitigation. And a whole bunch of other things that help you decide what's right for you.

💚 You don't need perfect credit to start *preparing* to buy a home.

Your credit report isn't just a list of your debts. It contains the info behind your "score".

Your credit score IS a number, but neither one tells your whole story.

If buying a home is in your future, knowing BOTH should be one of your very first steps before worrying about whether your score is "good enough".

(P.S. The score you see on Credit Karma, your bank app, or your credit card company may NOT be the same scoring model a lender uses. Don't let ONE number convince you that you definitely CAN or CAN'T buy a home!)

Start by pulling your reports from the 3 major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian & TransUnion.

Why all 3? Because the info reported to each Bureau can differ, and lenders typically review credit info from all 3 when evaluating a borrower.

Then, actually READ THEM.
🔎 Do all of the accounts belong to you?
🔎 Are the balances and payment histories accurate?
🔎 Are there late payments or collections you weren't expecting?
🔎 Is anything being reported that shouldn't be?

If you find an error, dispute it with the credit bureau reporting the inaccurate information and give yourself time for it to be investigated and corrected.

The goal isn't to diagnose your own mortgage eligibility.

The goal isn't to *hope* you're ready when you find a house you love.

💚The goal is to know where you stand before you start looking!

"But it still works!"
It sure does.
My favorite thing about it was the handle.

I came across this vintage GE oven during a showing recently, and the Buyers' reactions were a perfect example of how differently people can see the same home.

One Buyer LOVED it. The vintage look was part of its charm.
The others? "That would be the FIRST to go!"

Nobody was wrong.
The Seller sees a perfectly functional appliance.
One Buyer sees character.
Another sees a future expense.
And today, those expenses matter.

Buyers are shopping with higher mortgage payments, higher costs of living, and less room in the budget for repairs and replacements. Many also have more opportunity to compare homes then Buyers did during the frenzy of a few years ago.

That doesn't mean Sellers should replace every old appliance, update every room or fix everything a Buyer might change.

It DOES mean today's Buyer may consider those future expenses when deciding what a home is worth to them, what they're willing to offer, or whether to make an offer at all.

Once your home goes on the market, the question is no longer:
"It was good enough for me, so why isn't it good enough for them?"

The better question is:
"Does my home make sense to today's Buyer at today's price?"

Thinking about selling?
I'm always happy to help you look at your home through today's Buyers' eyes before you put it on the market.
