The number of homes for sale is up from last year, but below pre-pandemic numbers, and that means we're still in a sellers' market⚠️

The housing market needs more homes for sale to meet the demand of today's buyers. If you've thought about selling, now's the time to connect with us! We'd love to come out and give you a complimentary home valuation.

As the name suggests, reverse mortgages work like a regular mortgage loan, but in reverse. With a traditional mortgage, the borrower receives the entire loan amount and spends a fixed amount of time, typically 30 years, repaying their lender. With a reverse mortgage loan, the lender lends a lower loan amount based on the borrower's age and the home's value and then uses the home's remaining equity to make the monthly payments.
This means that every month the balance owed to the lender grows. The borrower does not have to make monthly payments, and the lender must wait until the borrower sells, moves out, or passes away to get repaid.
If you have any mortgage and real estate questions, don't hesitate to message us! We'd love to connect you with one of our vendor partners who can help answer your reverse mortgage questions.

Here are some tips on how to win as a buyer in today's housing market!
• Build Your Team - Make sure you have a trusted real estate team on your side to help guide you, and a reliable lender.
• Make Strategic Plays - Carefully budgeting and planning for your down payment are key. Think about your wish list and prioritize what you need.
• Consider What's In and Out of Bounds- Figure out if you want to stay in the same area or branch out to new communities. Make a list of neighborhoods you'd like to live in, and some you'd like to explore further.
• Stand Out from the Crowd - Get pre-approved to show you're a serious and qualified buyer. Lean on your team's expert advice and experience to draft your strongest offer.
In today's housing market, you can still be a winner if you have the right team and strategy. Let's connect today to make your game-winning play🏠🏆
