Have you wondered if it’s still worth it to buy with homes appreciating and interest rates rising? If you plan to stay put for several years, buying a house is still a great investment and will save you money in the long run.

In the Wichita market, the average person will save $21,818 in housing costs after five years of home ownership. In 15 years, you will save $159,914.

Changes in the market doesn’t mean you can’t buy or that your purchase can’t be financially profitable. It simply means that you need an expert to help you navigate the changes of appreciation and rising interest rates, so you can leverage a deal that will help you win with your money.

Browsing Zillow a couple dozen times a day isn’t the only way to keep up to date with the newest houses hitting the market this Fall.

Let me set you up a search so you can receive an email the second a home that fits your criteria goes live. This will save you time and help you have the most up to date information on the market! Often times sites like Zillow, are great at adding homes, but aren’t as good about removing them once they are pending or sell.

What to expect for the housing market in 2022:

Homes Available for Sale are Likely to Grow

BUYERS: You'll have more options, but still be prepared to act fast and put in your best offer upfront.

SELLERS: You may soon face more competition as other sellers list their homes. BUT, if you're also in the market to buy, you'll benefit from the boost in inventory.

Mortgage Rates Will Continue to Respond to Inflation.

BUYERS: Find a trusted agent and reputable lender, so you'll know exactly how rising rates will impact your purchasing power.

SELLERS: selling and then buying? Work with an agent to time your move so you, too, can take advantage of rates before they tick higher.

Home Prices will Continue to Climb and Stabilize in Some Markets.

BUYERS: Good news! In some markets, home prices are beginning to stabilize or moderately grow compared to earlier this year.

SELLERS: Current home prices are still great news for the value of your home and bottom line. Work with an agent who knows hot to get you top dollar while staying on top of market trends.

Have questions about the market?

In case you didn't know, today's housing market is nothing like it was in 2008. What happened then was caused by cheap debt, shady lending practices and financial acrobatics that ended with too many borrowers in mortgages they couldn't afford.

Step back from 2008, and you see that home prices have appreciated in 4 of the last 6 recessions. They only fell twice--slightly in the early 90s (1.9%) and almost 20% in 2008.

Not every recession is a housing crisis. So if you're looking to buy, sell, invest or flip, here's what to do: silence the noise, look at the stats and find an agent who can help you make on-time and informed decisions in 2022.

Choosing to buy a home is a big decision, and it might be one of the biggest purchases you make. If you’re considering whether it’s time to stop renting and purchase a home, it’s good to keep in mind that the interest rate on renting is 100%

Renting has its perks and makes sense in some situations. No maintenance costs, no down payment, flexibility to move, no concern about property value. But the truth is your monthly rent payment is just like paying 100% interest month after month after month.

Interest, at its simplest, is the fee you pay to live in your home. When you rent, that’s what you’re doing. You’re paying a fee month after month, gaining nothing other than a roof over your head. Rates have gone up in the last few months, but we are still in a low rate market (the historical avg is 5%).

When you buy, yes, you’re paying a fee (your mortgage) month after month, but you’re gaining so much more than just a place to call home. You get:

An appreciating investment (existing-home sale prices rose 26.25 in the last four quarters)
Increasing equity (every month, the banks owns less of your home, and you own more!)
Predictable housing costs (a fixed-rate mortgage will never change)
Advantages come tax time
Freedom to personalize however you choose

In most situations, it pays to buy vs rent. Want to talk more and run the numbers? I’m happy to help.

Homeowner’s associations can be incredibly beneficial in maintaining the value of your home, but they can also be troublesome if their conditions and restrictions aren’t a good fit for your preferences and lifestyle. We’ve all heard horror stories which is why it’s extremely important to review all HOA or CC&R documentation if you’re purchasing a home in a neighborhood that has an HOA.

These documents define how the neighborhood operates. They can dictate things like if and how you can build a fence, what landscaping you can and cannot have, exterior paint colors, if you can park on the street or store your RV on your property. It’s important to ask the following questions:

How does the HOA operate?
What is the HOA’s budget?
How are they doing financially? Are they in debt?
Do they have assessments?

It’s important to ask these questions to be able to have a clear picture if this neighborhood will be a good fit for the needs of you and your family. Ultimately, it’s important to understand the covenants, conditions and restrictions for your potential HOA because failure to comply could result in the HOA placing a lien against your home which could affect your ability to sell the home in the future.

We can always write into the offer that seller has five days to give buyer all HOA documentation, then buyer has five days to review it. Should the buyer find anything in the HOA documents or financials that is concerning the buyer may cancel and receive their earnest money back and move on.

If you have any questions, let me know and I can help!

It’s not a secret that interest rates are rising and many analysts believe they will continue to rise over the course of this year. The great news though is that we are still in a low rate market (the historical average is 5%), so there’s still time to capitalize on the benefits of buying while rates remain low.

As a buyer, low interest rates mean you are able to afford more house for your dollar and pay less in interest over the life of your loan. It’s a win/win.

A great tool to better understand the power of locking in a low interest to up your buying power is the 1-10 Rule:

“For every 1% decrease in interest rates there’s a 10% gain in buying power.”

For example:

3.9%, 30-year, $1,013/month = $300,000 mortgage
4.9%, 30-year, $1,013/month = $264,929 mortgage
5.9%, 30-year, $1,013/month = $232,611 mortgage

A lot of you were asking questions about the home I posted in my stories yesterday. I had to stop back by it today and thought I’d take y’all along for a quick tour! 😀

This is a listing that my team and I just added to the MLS, and it’s incredible! It’s unique because it’s currently running as an Airbnb and has the option to be purchased fully furnished. Having a cash flowing Airbnb is a great investment! Or you can buy it without the furnishings, and it’d make an incredible, move in ready primary residence.

Also, did I mention that it’s been fully updated? New siding, roof, LPV flooring, professionally designed, renovated kitchen and bathrooms and upgraded electrical. If you want a showing, shoot me a message, and we’ll get you in!
