  The path to homeownership looks different for everyone… 

  

  The path to homeownership looks different for everyone, and recent data from the NAR shows just how varied today’s buyers really are. These shifts reflect changing lifestyles, priorities, and the growing independence of buyers who are making moves on their own terms. It’s a good reminder that your journey doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s to be valid or successful. Give us a call to start yours! #realestate #realestateagent #buying #selling #listreports #realestateexpert #financehub #homeowner

  Just Four Reasons? 

  

  Before you start house hunting, make sure you’re preapproved! ✅ It shows sellers you’re serious, gives you a clear budget, and can even help you close faster. In a competitive market, having that pre-approval letter can make all the difference. How serious am I about this? I won’t show homes without it. Many buyers jump out and start looking, find a home they love, get the process started, and an accepted offer, then start the loan process, only to spend usually a minimum of $750-$1,000 out of pocket, only to find they can’t qualify. I care more about the expense you might be out than just finding you a home and getting you under contract!

  Ready to start the process? I can connect you with April Smith with New American Funding, a trusted lender and loan officer! #thehelpfulagent #home #houseexpert #house #listreports #househunting #finances #a042125 #investment realestate #realtor #realestateagent #dreamhome

    Good Stuff, Definitely get pre-approved before you go out shopping for homes. It saves everyone time and money, and possibly yourself some heartache.

  What does the spring homebuying season look like? 

  COLLEGE STATION – Texas may not be entirely a buyer’s market right now, but housing market conditions have slightly improved thanks to increased inventory, giving buyers more options. 

  “In the last two-plus years, homebuyers had been—or at least their affordability has been—stuck in a rut, and we know why: because of high mortgage rates and high home prices,” Texas Real Estate Research Center Research Economist Yanling Mayer recently told the Texas Standard. “What makes the spring homebuying season different is the supply-side story.”

  Four other takeaways from the interview:

  Inventory is up: Home supply has accelerated significantly in recent months, easing pressure and giving buyers more negotiating power.

  Secondary markets are thriving: Cities like Abilene, Lubbock, Midland, and College Station are seeing strong sales, partly due to more affordable prices.

  Price markdowns are widespread: More than half of homes are being sold with price cuts, averaging about $15,000 off the listing price.

  Buyers should be strategic: With rates still high, buyers are encouraged to assess their personal circumstances. If they must buy, they should take their time and negotiate; otherwise, it may be worth waiting.

  (Texas Standard)

  Buydown Mortgage, Be Cautious with These… 

  As I mention below, we would want to make sure a “buy-down” scenario would be a good fit.

  

  Buy-down mortgages are getting a lot of buzz lately! 🏡✨ This option allows buyers to pay upfront to lower their interest rate, either temporarily or permanently. It can be a useful strategy to make homeownership more affordable, especially in the early years. Not sure if it’s the right fit for you? Let’s talk about your options! 📩 #thehelpfulagent #home #houseexpert #house #listreports #investment #finances #a041125 #realestateagent #realtor #realestate #dreamhome
