It’s important to understand history proves an economic slowdown does not equal a housing crisis.
In 4 of the last 6 recessions, home prices actually appreciated. Home prices only fell twice – minimally in the early 90s and then by nearly 20% during the housing crash in 2008.
If you have questions, connect with a real estate professional to discuss why today’s housing market is nothing like 2008.

If recent headlines about rising inflation are making you wonder if it’s still a good time to buy, here’s what experts have to say.
Housing is an asset that typically grows in value. Plus, your mortgage helps stabilize your monthly housing costs, and buying protects you from rising rents.
Experts say owning a home is historically a good hedge against inflation. Work with a real estate professional if you’re ready to start the homebuying process today.
If you’re deciding whether you should make updates before you sell your house, lean on your trusted real estate advisor to be your guide.
In today’s sellers’ market, buyers have limited options and may be more willing to take on repairs themselves.
If you’re thinking about selling your house, connect with a real estate professional so you have expert advice that’s customized to your home and local area.

If you’re thinking about selling your house this spring, here are some things you’ll want to tackle before you list.
Spend your time on tasks that make it feel inviting, show it’s cared for, and boost your curb appeal.
To determine the full list of things you’ll want to tackle for your home, you need the opinion of a trusted expert. Partner with a real estate professional to help make sure your house shows well this season.
Knowing key housing terms and how they relate to today’s market is important. For example, when mortgage rates and home prices rise, it impacts how much home you can afford.
Terms like appraisal (what lenders rely on to validate a home’s value) and the inspection contingency (which gives buyers essential information on a home’s condition) directly impact the transaction.
Buying a home can be intimidating if you’re not familiar with the terms used throughout the process. Lean on a trusted advisor so you have an expert guide and advice for any questions that may come up.
Today’s housing market is the direct result of low supply and high buyer demand. Here’s what that means for you and your plans to buy or sell.
For buyers, expect competition, be ready to move fast, and be prepared to submit your strongest offer. For sellers, know your house will be the center of attention and that it’ll likely sell quickly and get multiple offers.
If you’re ready to move, work with a trusted real agent to understand your local area and take advantage of today’s unprecedented housing market.
If you’re deciding whether to rent or buy, consider the many financial benefits that come with owning a home.
As a renter, you build your landlord’s wealth and face rising costs. As a homeowner, you build your own net worth and can lock in your monthly payments for the length of your loan.
If you’re weighing your options, remember that owning a home is a decision that has considerable financial perks. Contact a local real estate professional to learn more.
There’s an influx of buyers looking for homes today, and that means your house is in high demand. Here are a few reasons why so many people are looking to buy a home.
Buyers are motivated to beat rising mortgage rates, and many want to escape rising rents. There’s also additional demand from millennials who are reaching peak homebuying age.
If you’re thinking about selling your house, today’s demand is great news. Reach out to a local real estate professional to begin the process of listing your house while buyers are ready to purchase.
Even in today’s sellers’ market, there are still ways for buyers to win big.
Build a team of trusted professionals and make strategic plays as you budget and pick your desired neighborhoods. Then, be ready for the competition by getting a pre-approval letter and leaning on your expert advisors to draft a winning offer.
In a sellers’ market, you can still be the champion if you have the right team and strategy. Work with a trusted real estate professional to make your game-winning play.

If your workplace is delaying its return to office plans or is allowing permanent work from home options, that may open up new possibilities for your home search.

Buying a home and wondering if your inspection is necessary? While some buyers may decide to waive their inspection, it’s risky decision.
