What can I afford? Great question! The first step to purchasing a home is determining how much you can afford and getting a pre-approval letter from a lender.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ The rule of thumb is that you can afford to spend 2.5 times your annual salary on a home. ⁣⁠ However, it’s best to talk to a mortgage lender to find out what you qualify for and get your pre-approval letter.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ If you’re ready to get started, let’s talk!

When it comes to buying a house, the highest offer always gets the house — right? Surprise! The answer can be “no.” Here are some reasons why your lower offer might just beat that higher one after all.

-Cash offers can be more appealing to sellers
-Ability to be flexible on closing period to suit the seller's needs
-Other factors at play - the highest price offer may not lead to the largest profit for the seller depending on other details of the offer

Typically, a prospective buyer will request a showing and the buyer’s agent will reach out to the seller’s agent to get approval. Once the approval is received, the appointment is set. This will alert you to start getting your house ready for showing. Buyers will look through the home with their agent and oftentimes have questions. Once the showing is complete, the buyer’s agent should provide feedback. Showings don’t have to be intimidating if you know what to expect!

When a home comes “back on the market,” that means the house was under contract, but for some reason the deal has fallen through and the property is now available again. Before you immediately assume this is a huge red flag, there are some common reasons homes come back on the market!

1) The buyer did not get their mortgage approved.
2) The buyer changed their mind.

An escalation clause is a section in a real estate contract that states that a prospective buyer is willing to raise their offer on a home should the seller receive a higher competing offer. The clause will state how much more the buyer is willing to pay than the highest offer and their spending limit. Essentially, escalation clauses offer buyers protection if other potential buyers outbid them.

A number of factors contribute to what your home should be listed at, so feel free to ask your agent what went into deciding your home’s listing price. Thinking about selling? Let’s talk!

It's your agent's job to get you the best possible price for your home, or to see to it that you get the best possible deal on the property you want to buy. Agents are trained to negotiate well, and they bring local expertise to the table. Don’t waste time looking for a home on your own when an agent has all the tools to make your search much easier.

What's in a mortgage payment? Your mortgage payment is based on several things, including your down payment, credit score, and property type. These factors can all impact what your mortgage payment will look like and it is why there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to what a mortgage payment will be for a home. Your mortgage payment typically contributes to your principal balance, interest, taxes, and insurance.

Don’t be tempted to fix everything you think is wrong with your house; you could lose money or price it out of competition in the market. When you prepare your house for sale, remember that your goal is to show its potential, not to polish it to perfection. Be sure to consult your real estate agent about what kind of repairs the market demands before you spend your time and money on fixing anything.
