Do you think you need a big down payment to buy a home? Most people believe they need at least 10% down.

The truth is that’s not necessarily the case. Many buyers put down less than that.

The typical down payment for first-time buyers is actually between 6% and 9%. And depending on the home loans you qualify for, you might only need 3.5%, or even 0% down in some cases.

Your down payment might not be as big of a hurdle as you thought. Let’s talk about your options and how to make homeownership possible for you.

If the down payment wasn’t the thing holding you back, would you be ready to start your home search?

Right now, the housing market looks really different depending on where you live.

In the Northeast and Midwest, there are more buyers than sellers. That means in many markets in those regions, homes are in short supply and sellers have the upper hand.

But in the South and West, the opposite is true. There are more sellers than buyers. That gives buyers more options and more negotiating power. But even within a region, your local market may be different than the larger regional trend.

It’s a tale of two markets – and this story comes down to location.

If you’re not sure what’s happening in our area, let’s talk. I can help you figure out what kind of market you’re in and what that means for your next move.

More homeowners are missing the mark on pricing in today’s shifting market. And if you make that same mistake, you may wind up facing some difficult choices.

You could drop the price. But now, buyers will wonder what’s wrong with it.

You could take it off the market – and put your move on hold.

Or, you could keep it and rent it out. It sounds simple, until you’re a landlord juggling repairs, leases, and late-night maintenance calls.

None of these things are what you were hoping for. But they happen when you chase last year’s price in this year’s market.

Want to know what your house could sell for in today’s market? DM me.
