Real Estate with Rach

If you’re currently asking yourself: can I stay in this house long-term, or does it make more sense to move? Here’s what I'd tell you.

While aging in place can be a great option, over time it usually means making updates so your home continues to work for you.

Some of those changes are simple. Others can be more of an investment.

That’s why planning ahead matters if you think you want to go this route. It gives you the chance to spread out the work and the costs over time.

But it’s also okay if you don’t want to take that on.

If this has crossed your mind at all and you’re trying to decide what’s next, what projects to tackle, or what else is out there, let’s talk it through.

Did you try to buy a home last year and feel stuck?

Maybe there just weren’t enough options. Or, nothing really fit what you were looking for.

That’s starting to change.

There are now nearly 2x as many new listings hitting the market compared to a few months ago. Those are homes that were just put up for sale.

That means more fresh options and a better chance of finding the house that actually works for you.

If you’re curious what’s out there in our area right now, let’s take a look together.

Getting a tax refund this year?

If homeownership is on your radar, adding that refund to what you’ve already saved could help you take that step a little sooner.

The average refund is higher this year, over $3,500, but your amount will vary. Either way, when you’re buying a home, every dollar helps.

That money could go toward your down payment, help cover closing costs, or even be used to lower your mortgage rate and monthly payment.

If you’ve been wondering how much home you could afford right now, let’s talk it through.

Scroll through your social feed, and you may come across something that says investors are buying all the homes right now. But housing market data tells a different story.

Only 0.4% of the 86 million single-family homes in the U.S. are owned by large investors (those with over 1,000 properties) today. That's a lot less than headlines would have you think.

So, if that’s been shaping how you see your chances of buying, it might be worth looking at things a little differently.

If you’ve been thinking about buying a home, you’ve probably heard: “Investors are buying everything.” But take a look at this.

Most of the biggest investors in the country are actually selling more homes than they’re buying right now.

That means they’re not dominating the market the way it might feel, and that could open up more opportunities for you.

If you want to understand what’s really going on in today’s market, let’s talk it through.

Mortgage rates have been a bit volatile these last few weeks.

And while it may feel a little nerve-wrecking if you’re planning to buy, that volatility is actually normal when there’s economic uncertainty or global events impacting the market.

It doesn't mean you can’t buy right now. It just means we’re in a moment where rates may bounce around a bit more. And you can’t control that.

But you can set yourself up to get the best rate possible when you buy.

My advice? Focus on what you can control, like your credit score, loan type, and loan term. All three of those impact what rate you’ll ultimately be able to get.

So, talk to a lender you trust about your options and what you can do. If you want to buy, we can still make this happen.
