A lot of buyers are stuck in “wait and see” mode right now.

If you stepped back from your home search over the past few years, you’re not alone – and you’re definitely not out of options. In fact, now might be the ideal time to take another look. 

Mortgage rates have been the monster under the bed for a while. Every time they tick up, people flinch and say, “Maybe I’ll wait.” But here’s the twist. Waiting for that perfect 5-point-something rate could end up haunting your wallet later.

If you paused your plans to move because of high rates or prices, it may finally be time to take a second look at your numbers. 

You want mortgage rates to fall – and they've started to. But is it going to last? And how low will they go?

If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, now’s the time to lean in. It’s officially the best time to buy this year. 

A recent survey from Bank of America asked would-be homebuyers what would help them feel better about making a move, and it’s no surprise the answers have a clear theme.

Are you looking for better home prices, or even a lower mortgage rate? You might find both in one place: a newly built home. 

Over the past few years, affordability has been the biggest challenge for homebuyers. 

Buying your first home is a big milestone – and the right support is going to make it a whole lot easier.

If you’ve been putting off buying a home because you thought getting approved would be too hard, know this: qualifying for a mortgage is starting to get a bit more achievable, but lending standards are still strong.

Remember the chatter in the headlines about all the homes big institutional investors were buying? If you were thinking about buying a home yourself, you may have wondered how you’d ever be able to compete with that.

Multi-generational living is on the rise. 

Life can feel a bit unpredictable these days. What’s happening with inflation? The economy? The housing market? But in the middle of all that uncertainty, there’s one thing a lot of people still crave – a place to call their own.

Headlines are saying home prices are starting to dip in some markets.

If you’re a first-time homebuyer, you might feel like the odds are stacked against you in today’s market. But there are resources and programs out there that can help – if you know where to look.

A lot of buyers are pressing pause on their plans these days, holding out hope that mortgage rates will come down – maybe even back to the historic-low 3% from a few years ago. But here’s the thing: those rates were never meant to last.
