Why you shouldn’t be scared to buy in today’s market!

Don’t let interest rates scare you! Today we have more homes on the market for sale than we have seen in 2 years (over 12,500+ in Maricopa and Pinal County’s)!  That means more homes to choose from, more time to make your decision, and more chances to ask for seller concessions if the home needs a little TLC. I just put in an offer asking for seller concessions to help buy down the interest rate for my clients! You could not do that a few months ago. If you are thinking of buying a home here is my #1 tip: CONTACT ME – LOL Have specific questions about the market? Send me a message!

Important things to know before buying your first home

If you’re thinking about buying your first home this year, here’s my word of advice. Before anything else, think through these two things: Your budget and Your must-haves. ⁣ As a first time home buyer, you may not know your budget, if you are paying rent currently start there and ask yourself if you can afford to pay more monthly, or if you are comfortable where you are at. Then give me a call and I can connect you with a lender to help know what your budget will be. You may not be able to get all of your must haves within the budget you want to spend, so know which must haves you are willing to forgo. Buying a home is one of the best things you can do this year for your financial health. If you plan to buy a home in 2022 feel free to reach out if you have questions or would like to talk more. I’m here to help!

Before you buy a home, you need to know 2 things…

Before buying a home, you really need to think about these two things: your budget and your non-negotiables ⁣⁣Your budget: Don’t just play with online calculators or guess what you can afford. Sit down with a reputable bank or mortgage lender (I can refer you!) to get pre-approved and know what you’re comfortable paying each month. Plus, having a pre-approval letter will strengthen your offers. ⁣Your non-negotiables: What are your “must-haves” in a new home? Need to stay in the same school district? Need a big yard for the kids or a guest room for family? Keep this list short, but clear. You may need to reference it later!⁣ One more thing: As you shop, make sure you heavily weigh a home’s lot, location, and price. Those are three things you’ll NEVER be able to change.⁣⁣ I’d love to help you find a home that checks all your boxes – email or call and I’ll be in touch!⁣ Love Where You Live
