The last few years have been an abnormal market, buyers were taking the risk of buying a home "as is" and without inspection. Now that the market has shifted, buyer's have more homes to choose from and more time to make the right decision. Don't be quick to buy a home without an inspection. Inspectors are there to help you understand the home's condition and possibly give you more negotiation power. Even if the home turns out to be in great condition, it is better to spend the money now before you end up with thousands of dollars worth of surprises.

If you’ve been following the housing market over the last couple of years, you’ve likely heard about growing affordability challenges. But according to experts, the key factors that determine housing affordability are projected to improve this year.
The three measures used to establish home affordability are home prices, mortgage rates, and wages. Here’s a closer look at each one.

>>1. Mortgage Rates

Mortgage rates shot up to over 7% last year, causing many buyers to put their plans on hold. But things are looking different today as rates are starting to come down. Even a small change in rates can impact your purchasing power.

If 7% rates paused your homebuying plans last year, this could be the opportunity you need to get back in the game.

>>2. Home Prices

The second factor at play is home prices. Home prices have made headlines over the past few years because they skyrocketed during the pandemic. So, while prices will likely be flat this year in some markets, others could see small gains or slight declines. It all depends on your local area.

>>3. Wages

The final component in the affordability equation is wages. Because wages have been rising, many buyers have renewed opportunity in the market.

While affordability hurdles are not completely going away this year, based on current trends and projections, 2023 should bring some sense of relief to homebuyers who have faced growing challenges.

Best sugar cookie recipe ever:

▪️ 3 cups all-purpose flour, measured then sifted

▪️ 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

▪️ 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

▪️ 3 sticks unsalted butter, softened (1 1/2 cups)

▪️ 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar + extra for rolling

▪️ 2 large eggs

▪️ 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fº. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

2. Place the softened butter and sugar in the bowl of your electric mixer. Cream the butter and sugar together on high until light and fluffy, 3-5 minutes. (Don’t skimp on the time here.) Then turn the mixer on low and add the eggs and vanilla extract. Scrape the bowl.

3. With the mixer running on low, slowly add the flour mixture. Scrape the bowl and beat again for 30 seconds.

4. Pour some extra sugar into a bowl to coat the cookies. Scoop the dough out and roll into 1-inch balls. The dough should be soft and delicate – don’t over-handle. Shake each ball in the sugar bowl to coat, then place on the cookie sheets 2 inches apart. Use the bottom of a drinking glass to press down on each ball, until it’s 1/3- to 1/2-inch thick (you can also use moldings to create different shapes like snowman, stars, christmas trees, ect..

5. Bake each sheet of sugar cookies for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are slightly golden and the centers are just barely set.

Enjoy!🍪
