🏡 The answer? It depends!

Generally, items that are built-in—like the oven, stove, and dishwasher—are included in the sale. But freestanding appliances such as the refrigerator, washer, and dryer aren’t always part of the deal unless they’re specifically listed.

To avoid any last-minute surprises, always double-check the listing details and make sure any must-have items are written into the purchase agreement.

✅ A trusted agent helps ensure clear answers, fewer surprises, and a smooth, stress-free closing day!

When you’re exploring the housing market, two key factors shape what you can afford: home prices and mortgage rates. While they don’t directly control one another, together they influence your overall buying power.

🔹 Home prices determine how much you’ll need to borrow. As prices rise, so does the size of your mortgage—and your monthly payment.
🔹 Mortgage rates affect how much that loan will cost you over time. Even a small change in rates can significantly impact your long-term interest payments.

📊 The relationship between the two can shift market conditions and your budget. For example, lower rates may make higher-priced homes more accessible, while rising rates can limit affordability even if prices stay steady.

Curious how today’s conditions affect your options? Let’s talk it through and find a strategy that works for you.
