WHAT MADE YOU CONSIDER OWNING A HOME?

Forget finances for a minute and focus on what made you consider even buying a home in the first place! This is still a really personal decision and we ARE all REAL people!

  •        Is your family expanding are you feeling CRAMPED??
  •        Does your family feel safe?
  •        Are you downsizing?
  •        How about that unbearable landlord ...What are you paying in RENT?
  •        How about your 40 min commute?

What is your why?  This is a great time to buy in an incredible area that I happen to be very fond of!  What most people don’t know realize is that the seller pays for me to work for you as a buyers agent!  So it costs you nothing to have someone fight for your rights as a buyer. A good buyers agent will hold your hand, be your trusted adviser during the whole home buying process. They empower you and help you understand the current market conditions so you are always paying the right price! They handle the ins and outs of your full negotiation process, including repairs and make sure you are taken care of not being "taken"! What a great service I provide to you!! I can help you find the perfect home before it goes under contract. I tailor my schedule around yours with this crazy market to get your showings in...and connect you with the right third party sources. I have an incredible team and trusted partners i.e. lenders, inspectors, handymen, people after the closing even that still come and can help you. I help you all the way thru the closing and I am at the attorneys office to make sure you are covered all the way! All of this representation is provided to you without cost to you!

If you have been considering purchasing a home, you may be curious to know if this is the right time in the market to make your move. The market is fast changing, with new laws coming into play, interest rates are constantly rising, and a whole slew of things buyers have to face when it comes time to picking the right house. What does that mean for you? Well, that there isn't a better time to buy than now. Let's break down the benefits of purchasing a home now, instead of waiting. 
 
1. INTEREST RATES ARE MOVING UP

If you haven't been keeping up with the real estate market, you might be missing out on the data around interest rates. They are going up, and they are going up fast. 5% may not seem like a lot, but can be the difference between hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars on what you are paying out towards your loan on a monthly basis. 

 2. HOME PRICES ARE INCREASING

Have you been hearing about folks complaining in your market about the price of homes going up? Well those prices are going to continue climbing.  Especially in hot city markets, where prices are virtually guaranteed to sky rocket, making a move now can save you hundreds of thousands. 
 

3. COMPETITION IS GETTING BIGGER

Population growth is a real thing, and with more people, comes more competition for homes. Homes are selling faster, which means a high demand increases home prices. Buying your home now, while the competition isn't as strong as it could be 5 years from now, helps you get a better deal on the home you want now then if you were to wait it out. Our turn around time here in the Triangle is 2-5 years!

So, in conclusion, the ball is in your court in today's market. There isn't ever a better time to purchase then now. Avoid the competition and the increase in fees and prices, and take advantage of a market that is still in the buyer's favor.
