Do You Know How Much Equity You Have?

The low mortgage rate you locked in a few years ago might make moving feel off the table. But your equity could put it back on.Homeowners with a mortgage have an average of $310K in equity right now. That could go toward a bigger down payment, so you borrow less at today's rates. Or, you may be able to buy your next place in cash – without needing a mortgage at all. So, don’t write off a move just yet. Let's find out how much equity you have and what it could do for you.

Keeping Buyers Interested After the First Showing
A buyer walking out of a showing without making an offer isn't necessarily bad news. They may be comparing several homes, talking through their budget, waiting for another family member to see the property, or simply trying not to make a rushed decision.
For sellers, the period after that first visit...

A promising first showing doesn't always lead straight to an offer. Keep buyers engaged by making follow-up easy and addressing issues that may hold them back.

Good news if you're house hunting: the asking price may not be the final word.

Right now, about 60% of homes are selling below their original asking price. With budgets stretched thin, a little give on price or terms can take some pressure off your wallet.

But how much you can negotiate depends on where you're buying. So, let's chat about what you can ask for in the neighborhoods you're eyeing.

Price cuts have climbed for 7 straight months.

Right now, more than 4 in 10 homes for sale have already had one, and it usually comes down to one thing – the market's moving faster than most sellers expected and their pricing hasn’t necessarily kept up.

A home that needs a cut usually just sat too long priced above what buyers will actually pay right now.

Selling soon? Let's set your number right from day one, so you skip that wasted time.

House hunting? A home that's had its price reduced means the seller's already been through that wait. And sellers who've been sitting are usually ready to deal.

Simple Ways to Make Your Home More Comfortable Year-Round
Home comfort usually isn't one big thing. It's the bedroom that always feels warmer than the rest of the house, the glare on the television every afternoon, or the room where everyone seems to reach for a blanket.
Before assuming you need a major upgrade, look at the smaller problems that come up repeatedly....

Everyday comfort often comes down to small details. Find practical ways to make your home feel better throughout the year without a major remodel.

How to Compare Homes With Different Strengths and Tradeoffs
Sometimes the hardest choice isn't between a home you love and one you don't. It's between two homes that both work, just in completely different ways.
One may have the location you wanted but less storage. Another might have an extra bedroom but need more updating. You may prefer the yard at one property...

Two homes can be appealing for very different reasons. Compare their strengths, compromises, and long-term fit before deciding which works better.

Making Sense of Seasonal Changes in the Housing Market
Real estate activity tends to shift throughout the year, but that doesn't mean there's one season when everyone should buy. More homes may come on the market during certain months, while other times of year bring fewer listings and different levels of buyer competition.
Those changes are worth noticing....

Housing markets don't behave the same way all year. Learn what seasonal changes can mean for buyers without letting the calendar drive your decision.
