🏠💲 More than 6 in 10 Americans think they have to put 20% down to buy a home, and that misconception could be keeping some would-be buyers on the sidelines. 🏡 There are a variety of loan programs with different down payment requirements, so it’s worth talking with a trusted loan officer to learn what options may be available to you.

As more data centers pop up, they're becoming another piece of the puzzle buyers and homeowners need to understand.

Have a data center nearby or one coming soon? Let’s talk about what it could mean for your home or your next move.

Data centers probably weren't on your list of things to think about when buying or selling a home.

09/10/2026

Data centers are showing up in more communities, and naturally, homeowners and buyers want to know what that could mean for nearby houses.

One of the biggest concerns that comes up is home values. But research from HousingWire found that areas with large data centers generally saw home values track similarly to comparable areas without them.

That doesn't mean proximity never matters. Noise, infrastructure, future development, and potential utility costs are all worth considering.

But a data center nearby isn't automatically bad news for your home's value.

Have one near you or one coming soon? Let’s look at what it could actually mean for your home and your neighborhood.
