Two Ways Homebuyers Can Win in Today’s Market

If your goal is to purchase a home this year, you might be looking for any advantage you can get in today’s sellers’ market. While competition is still fierce for homebuyers, there are ways you can win and secure the home of your dreams, even in a hot market.

>>Act Early and Save
The earlier you act this year, the more affordable your purchase will be. That’s because experts project mortgage rates and home prices will rise as we move deeper into 2022. That means the longer you wait, the more it will cost you to buy a home. Instead, act early and purchase your home before rates and prices rise further. Not to mention, the sooner you buy, the sooner you can experience the benefits of continued home price appreciation yourself. Once you have your home, you’ll be able to watch its value rise, giving you confidence that your investment is a sound one.

>>Buy Now, Move Later
Keep in mind, with high buyer...

Why Waiting To Sell Your House Could Cost You a Small Fortune

Here are five reasons to list your house now rather than waiting until the spring.

>>Buyers Are Looking Right Now, and They’re Ready To Purchase
The latest ShowingTime Showing Index reveals that buyers are still very active in the market. Also, at this time of year, only those purchasers who are serious about buying a home will be in the market.

>>Other Sellers Plan To List Earlier This Year
The law of supply and demand tells us that, if you want the best price possible and to negotiate your ideal contract terms, put your house on the market when there’s strong demand and less competition.

>>Newly Constructed Homes Will Be Your Competition in the Spring
In 2020, there were over 979,000 new single-family housing units authorized by building permits. Many of those homes have yet to be built because of labor shortages and supply chain bottlenecks brought on by the pandemic. They will, however...

How Much Do You Need for Your Down Payment?

Do you know how much you actually need for your down payment? If you think you have to put 20% down, you may have set your goal based on a common misconception. Freddie Mac says, “The most damaging down payment myth—since it stops the homebuying process before it can start—is the belief that 20% is necessary.”

Unless specified by your loan type or lender, it’s typically not required to put 20% down. According to the Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the median down payment hasn’t been over 20% since 2005. It may sound surprising, but today, that number is only 13%. And it’s even lower for first-time homebuyers, whose median down payment is only 7%.

While a down payment of 20% or more does have benefits, the typical buyer is putting far less down. That’s good news for you because it means you could be closer to your homebuying dream than you...

As you set out on your homebuying journey, you likely have a plan in place, and you’re working on saving for your purchase. But do you know how much you actually need for your down payment?
