FHFA: 7.8%
CoreLogic: 7.3%

Buying a home can be overwhelming — there are many steps to the process and new terminology to learn. But hopefully, this list can help ease your nerves!
Know your credit score (and perhaps how to improve it), get pre-approved (many forget this step), don’t make any major purchases (this may hurt your credit score), and don’t leave your job (your source of income).
And the icing on the cake that will make the process a whole less overwhelming: Find a #RealEstateAgent you can trust! 🙏 #realestate #househacks #tips #themoreyouknow

So this Christmas, give yourself the gift of speaking to your #RealEstateAgent — so you can get to celebrate the holidays in the way you deserve. ❤️ #homefortheholidays
