of great ways you can use that equity. Want to know how much equity you

As someone who’s thinking about buying or selling a home, you’re probably
paying close attention to mortgage rates – and wondering what’s ahead.

Commercial real estate presents many opportunities and pitfalls. Ensure the
building you buy is a wise investment with these pre-purchase inspections.

Unexpected home expenses can quickly add up and derail your budget. Check
out these ways you can avoid costly roof repairs and keep your home looking
its best.

If you’re in the market to buy a home, there’s some exciting news for you.
Many people assume that newly built homes are more expensive than existing
ones (houses that have already been lived in), but that’s not always the
case. In fact, exploring newly built homes can sometimes lead to more
cost-effective options, especially today. Hard to believe, right? But the
data doesn’t lie.

Even though data shows inflation is cooling, a lot of people are still
feeling the pinch on their wallets. And those high costs on everything from
gas to groceries are fueling unnecessary concerns that more people are
going to have trouble making their mortgage payments. But, does that mean
there’s a big wave of foreclosures coming?

If you’ve already applied for a mortgage, there are some things you’ll want
to avoid doing. So, contact your loan officer before making any financial
moves or decisions. 

Some of the biggest mistakes homebuyers are making right now are putting
off pre-approval, holding out for perfection, and buying more than they can
afford. The best way to avoid making these mistakes? Hire an agent who
knows today’s market and how to help you navigate it.
