There are 3 big reasons affordability is improving today. Mortgage rates are coming down, home prices are moderating, and wages are rising. If you hit pause on your home search because it felt out of reach, maybe it’s time to dive back in.

Looking to sell your house in today’s shifting market? The secret to standing out and selling quickly is to hire a pro. An agent will use market data to find the right price, give advice on what repairs to tackle for maximum impact, and what concessions you may want to consider (like help with closing costs). Let’s connect to come up with the strategy that’s right for you. Making The Right Move Matters - Message me or call 508-662-7301 #moveswithmartha #aginglifestylepro

Buying Beats Renting in 22 Major U.S. Cities That’s right—according to a recent study from Zillow, in 22 of the 50 largest metro areas, monthly mortgage payments are now lower than rent payments. As mortgage rates have eased off their recent peak, home prices have moderated, and inventory has ticked up, affordability has improved significantly. When you add all of that up, it’s getting less expensive to buy a home than to rent one in many parts of the country. You see, talking with a local real estate agent about what’s happening in your market before this happens in your ideal neighborhood could really change the game for you. It’s all about being informed by a true expert, and understanding what was out of reach before might actually be getting more affordable than you think. Now, while this study compares monthly rent to principal and interest on a mortgage payment (not the whole monthly payment), let’s think through this. As Zillow notes, what you can’t ignore when you buy a home are things like taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance that should also be factored into your budget and your monthly payment. But remember – renters pay extra fees too, like renters’ insurance, utilities, parking, and more. With mortgage rates coming down and more homes hitting the market, you’ll want to be ready to jump back into your search – before everyone else does. If you’re tired of renting and ready to find out what it takes to purchase a home in our area now that the landscape may be shifting, let’s do the math together to see if buying a home makes sense for you now or sometime soon. #housingmarket #househunting

Buy Now, or Wait? You may be tempted to wait until mortgage rates come down even more. But here’s what you need to know. If you wait, you'll have to compete with all those other people when you go to buy your next home. You have a chance to get ahead of the other buyers right now. Let’s connect and make it happen. Making The Right Move Matters - Message me or call 508-662-7301 #moveswithmartha #aginglifestylepro

Are you saving for your down payment? Here’s something you’re going to want to know. Most first-time homebuyers qualify for programs that can help with that upfront expense. But few actually take advantage of it. To see if you qualify, make sure you connect with a trusted lender. It could help you achieve your homeownership dream sooner than you thought possible.
