I know it can be hard to keep up at times when a lender or Realtor starts using acronyms or phrases you never heard when speaking about your money! 😕
But that’s why I’m here to help. 🙌

Today’s vocab? Appraisal Gap.



An appraisal gap is a difference between the fair market value determined by the appraiser and the amount you agreed to pay for the home. 🤔 It’s essential to protect yourself going into the contract and to have a plan on how to proceed should the appraisal come in lower. 💢



If you’re ready to start your home buying process in Verdigris and need a professional to help you every step of the way, I got you!



DM me for more info. 😊

Drop a ✋ if open houses are your preferred method of scoping out homes you’re interested in!

I wouldn’t be surprised if I get 0 hands below.

Why?

Because, like most things in today’s world, this step in the home buying process is moving online. According to the National Association of Realtors, only 7% of buyers found the home they bought by visiting an open house or seeing a yard sign. Instead, most buyers are using real estate aggregator websites (think: Zillow) in their home search — 51% of them ended up finding a home they bought from an online search, and for buyers in their 30s, that stat jumps to 61%.

Don’t let a good interest rate on your Mortgage be the one that got away! 😮‍💨 Did you know, rate locks protect you from market fluctuations? And as your lender processes the loan over a period of several weeks, rates can move up or down. ⬆️⬇️

If you lock the rate and market interest rates increase, you still get to keep your lower rate.

So my advice? Lock in a low rate before it’s too late. 🤑

PSA: Keep an eye on your credit. If you’re serious about starting your home search, you need to get serious about your credit habits!

These are the no-nos that lenders will be paying attention to — and you should too.



✔️ Spending frivolously
✔️ Missing payments or late payments
✔️ Carrying large credit card balances
✔️ Carelessly opening or canceling credit
✔️ Neglecting your credit reports



The last thing you want is to be rejected for a home loan (and as a result, not be qualified to purchase a home) because of something that could have been prevented.

The more you focus your mind upon the good, the more good comes into your life. You deserve all of the good things life has to offer Including that walk-in closet 😁
