📣 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR HOME BUYERS!
National headlines don’t tell the whole story of what’s happening in your local market, or what opportunities might be waiting for you!
If bidding wars, waived inspections, and limited choices kept you on the sidelines before, it may be time to take another look. Depending on the home and price range, you could have more room to negotiate, include inspections, and explore options that fit your budget.
🏡 And here’s a conversation worth having: Instead of offering $10,000 below asking price, could negotiating a seller credit toward closing costs or an interest rate buydown work better for you? With seller agreement and lender approval, that could be an option. Your lender can compare the numbers and help you understand which approach offers the most value.
You’ve probably heard, “Marry the house, date the rate.” My advice? Love the home AND feel comfortable with the payment today. Any future opportunity to refinance should be a bonus!
Buying is a personal decision, and the right time depends on your needs, finances, and goals. But don’t let a headline make that decision for you.
One of the biggest complaints I’ve heard over the past 3 years, “there are not enough homes under $300,000.” Take a look at the listings available. There are several new listings under $200,000. If you’re considering a move, let’s talk about your options. You may have more than you think! 🔑
