Have you been trying to buy a home, but higher mortgage rates and home prices are limiting your options? If so, here’s some good news – based on what Ali Wolf, Chief Economist at Zonda, has to say – smaller, more affordable homes are on the way: “Buyers should expect that over the next 12 to 24 months there will be a notable increase in the number of entry-level homes available.” In some ways, smaller homes are already here. When the pandemic hit, the meaning of home changed. People needed the space their home provided not only as a place to live, but as a place to work, go to school, exercise, and more. Those who had that space were more likely to keep it. And those that didn’t were in a position where they were trying to sell their smaller house to move up to a larger one. That meant ...

If you’re trying to decide if you’re ready to buy a home, there’s probably a lot on your mind. You’re thinking about your finances, today’s mortgage rates and home prices, the limited supply of homes for sale, and more. And, you’re juggling how all of those things will impact the choice you’ll make.While housing market conditions are definitely a factor in your decision, your own life and your finances may be even more important. As an article from NerdWallet says: “Housing market trends give important context. But whether this is a good time to buy a house also depends on your financial situation, life goals and readiness to become a homeowner.” Instead of trying to time the market, it may help to focus on what you can control. Here are a few questions that can give you clarity on whet...

If you’re thinking about buying a home, you want to know the decision will be a good one. And for many, that means thinking about what home prices are projected to do in the coming years and how that could impact your investment.This year, we aren’t seeing home prices fall dramatically. As the year goes on, however, some markets may go up in value while others may lose value. That’s why it’s helpful to keep the long-term view in mind. Experts project a return to a steadier rate of price appreciation in the years that follow.Home Price Appreciation in the Years AheadOver 100 economists, investment strategists, and housing market analysts were polled by Pulsenomics in their latest quarterly Home Price Expectation Survey (HPES). The report indicates what they believe will happen with home ...

If you’re getting ready to buy your first home, you’re likely focused on saving up for everything that purchase involves. One cost that’s likely top of mind is your down payment. But don't let a common misconception about how much you need to save make the process harder than it could be.Understand 20% Isn’t Always the Typical Down PaymentFreddie Mac explains:“. . . nearly a third of prospective homebuyers think they need a down payment of 20% or more to buy a home. This myth remains one of the largest perceived barriers to achieving homeownership.”Unless specified by your loan type or lender, it’s typically not required to put 20% down. This means you could be closer to your homebuying dream than you realize. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the median down paym...

As we mark the 22nd anniversary of the tragedy of September 11, 2001, we pause to reflect on the lives lost and the heroes who sacrificed on that fateful day. We honor their memory and their legacy.

Over the weekend, I must have read at least five post on social media about homes in The Villages, Florida and each post had plenty of comments one I saw was on its way to over 200.  Biggest discussion was new verses old, let’s remember old was built maybe in 2000 give or take a few years we are not talking the 1950’s.  Do some preowned have a lot going for the property?  Yes, as over improvement many times is not reflected in the price, bonds paid, sometimes bigger lots, mature landscaping and the list goes on.  Many preowned have new roofs, HVAC, water heaters, upgraded stone counters, no carpet and are located close to retail, dining, recreational activates and much more, remember it is the lifestyle not the home that makes The Villages great. New construction has its benefits as wel...

 REMEMBERING, REFLECTING, HONORING AND MOURNING THE FALLEN ON SEPTEMBER 11TH "Time is passing. Yet for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children."... George W Bush It's been 22 years since that horrific day on September 11th, 2001. Even after 22 years I still remember how that day as if it was yesterday. September 11th, 2001 is a day that fundamentally changed all of our lives. And although on 9/11 we knew our lives had changed most likely forever, we at that time didn't yet really know how much they would change. Many of those changes have sadly become the "new norma...
