Not every problem with a house is that obvious, so before you buy, get a home inspection.

Do You Have a Vision?

When you see a home, do you see what's there or do you see the potential of the home?

When I show homes, I always look at the potential. Oftentimes my clients don't have the funds to purchase something that's completely redone. So I can give them an idea of how beautiful a potential new home can look with just a bit of imagination and the right remodeling touches.

Great Before and After.

When I show homes, I oftentimes show the "Before" to my clients, because this is what their budget allows. But in my mind, I can already see the "After."

Yes, I always see what could be - the potential in a home. 😉

Something not many people know:
If you want to move and interest rates are too high, try finding an assumable loan.

This came fresh from my lender this morning:

Assumable Mortgages Offer Some Buyers Affordability

In today’s high mortgage rate environment, buyers are eager to find creative ways to lessen the cost of homeownership. Assumable mortgages could fit the bill for some buyers.

An assumable mortgage effectively passes a homeowner’s current loan to the buyer, allowing the buyer to hold a mortgage with a lower rate than today’s rate. The buyer would still need to pay the difference between the remaining loan amount and the home’s sale price, but holding even part of the loan at a lower rate can help make a housing payment more manageable.

Most government mortgage loans (i.e., FHA, VA, and USDA loans) are assumable with conditions. Not all sellers may be open to this option, but some are not only open to the option, they also are advertising it as a differentiator to attract buyers.

Based on 2024 active listings to date, about 0.4% of U.S. for-sale listings advertised an assumable loan.



Roughly 8% of home loans across the U.S. were VA loans over the past five years (since 2019), while 15% were FHA loans. This means that roughly 1 in 4 mortgage loans originated in the past five years were assumable government loans.
