For many buyers, the news that mortgage interest rates will rise this year can be super disappointing.

Even though interest rates are rising compared to last year, they’re still historically low.

Want to talk more about purchasing before they rise more? Just send over a DM!

Buying a home can be difficult in today's market if you are on a budget.

Fixer-uppers are a great alternative to a newer home since they have less competition, more options to customize, and you are in control of choosing who you hire to make renovations.

But, renovations can become costly, unexpected issues can arise, and construction can last a long time.

If you are unsure if a fixer-upper would work for your budget, I'm here to help guide you.

What to expect when buying a home this spring 🌷

It's true that inventory is low and demand is high this spring and though we're not sure when the market will even out, we do know that if you plan to buy a home, the key to an accepted offer is to prepare and plan in advance.

Here are a few things that you can expect from the market these next few months:

✔️ Low inventory will continue to be an issue. There is some speculation that as more people receive the COVID-19 vaccine, more sellers will feel comfortable coming to market, freeing up some inventory. Of course, some sellers are not listing because they don't know where to go, or due to job uncertainty. It's more likely that we will continue to see seasonal shifts in inventory as we approach the summer/fall.

✔️ Mortgage rates and home prices may inch up further. Rates are still low but have been creeping higher since bottoming out in early 2021. With the economic stimulus bill pumping more money into the economy, inflation is likely, as are increasing interest rates. While buyer demand remains strong, sellers are often receiving multiple offers and entering bidding wars which drive up home prices, too.

✔️ Cities are seeing renewed activity. Although people sought larger homes and outdoor space in response to the pandemic in 2020, urban real estate markets are beginning to pick up again. Even in New York, once the epicenter of the coronavirus, contracts are up and homeowners are seeing signs of market rejuvenation.

✔️ We might have to get creative! The highest offer isn't always the best offer (we'll talk more about that another day!). When we work together to find your dream home, I'll help you get pre-approved, craft a competitive offer and bring everything I have to negotiations. It might not happen on the first or second try, but I will stick with you until I can say my favorite words: "you got the house!"
