🏡 Monday Market Minute with Shelly & Jennifer
Here's your quick Southwest Missouri housing update!
📊 Housing Fact: Did you know that buyers have more choices today than they did a year ago? Inventory has been improving in many markets, giving buyers more opportunities and a little more breathing room when shopping for a home.
💰 Mortgage Rate Watch: The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate is currently around 6.5%. Keep in mind, your actual rate depends on your credit score, down payment, and loan program.
🏠 Home Value Tip: Thinking about remodeling before you sell? Start with simple updates! Fresh paint, great curb appeal, and a deep clean often give you one of the best returns on your investment—without breaking the bank.
Have questions about buying, selling, or your home's value? We'd love to help!
❌ Myth: You need 20% down to buy a home.
✅ Fact: Many buyers qualify with as little as 0% to 3%–5% down, depending on the loan program.
