If you’re trying to buy a home, it is NOT the time to quit your job.
When you apply for a mortgage, your lender will review two years of employment and income history. 🏦 A steady paycheck will improve your chances of getting a mortgage and can land you a lower interest rate. 💸
If you’ve changed jobs, you still have options. But it can make things more complicated, so think carefully before making big moves.

Struggling to pay for home repairs or improvements? Tapping into your home's equity could be the solution!
Before you pull out your credit card, consider some of these lower-interest options:
✔️ Home equity line of credit (or HELOC): Borrow as needed up to a predetermined limit. However, the interest rate is often variable, so it could increase over time.
✔️ Second mortgage (aka home equity loan): Take out a lump sum, typically at a fixed interest rate with set monthly payments.
✔️ Reverse mortgage (for seniors): Supplement your retirement income by drawing down the equity in your home.

👉 Pay down your credit card balances
👉 Make all future payments on time
👉 Avoid closing old accounts
👉 Limit your credit applications
Over time, that score will start to climb! 📈

Make moving easier with these packing hacks.
Moving is a BIG step. But it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Keep these tips in mind as you prepare:
📦 Start packing when you start searching for a new home. Tackling a couple of boxes a day will give you a head start. And if you're going to sell your current home, you'll need to declutter anyway.
📦 Pack with unpacking in mind. Bundle items from a single room in each box. Then, clearly label it with its destination in your new home. This will save you time (and footsteps) when you unpack.
📦 Think outside the box when transporting clothes. If you plan on hiring movers, ask if you can leave clothing in your dressers. In many cases, they will use plastic to wrap the dresser so the drawers don’t fall out during transport.
Starting a new chapter in your new home should be an exciting time. We can help you find the resources you need to make your big move your best move.

What does “Months of Supply” tell us about the market?
To break it down simply:
📊Balanced Market = 6 to 7 months of supply
There are a relatively even number of buyers and sellers.
📈Seller’s Market = Fewer than 6 months of supply
There are more buyers than homes for sale, thus sellers hold the upper hand.
📉 Buyer’s Market = More than 7 months of supply
There are more homes for sale than willing and able buyers, thus buyers have more negotiating power.

3 Home Seller Tips for a Smooth Transition
Leaving a home you love is never easy. But you can improve the process with these 3 simple tips:
1️⃣ Figure out what stays and what goes. If there’s anything that’s bolted down, mounted, or planted that you want to take with you, be sure to let your agent know–before your home hits the market.
2️⃣ Clean up and clear out. Don’t risk delaying a sale at the last minute by neglecting to clean up your property before you move out. If there are items you don’t want to take with you, ask the new owners ahead of time what they want–and get rid of the rest.
3️⃣ Prepare to pass the baton. Gather up keys, garage door remotes, appliance manuals, warranties, and any other useful information that’s worth passing along to your buyers.
A smooth transition makes everyone’s life easier–and it only takes a little extra effort to make it happen.

What is a bridge loan?
This short-term financing option can help you bridge the gap between buying a new home and selling your old one. It enables you to tap into your existing home equity before you’ve sold.
However, there are some issues to consider before you apply for a bridge loan:
👉 The interest rates and fees are usually higher than typical home loans.
👉 The equity from your current home will be used to secure the loan.
👉 The credit requirements are often greater for bridge loans than for standard financing.
If you think you may need to “bridge the gap” between buying a new home and selling your current one, give us a call. We can discuss your options and refer you to a lender who can help.

Should you get preapproved OR prequalified for a mortgage? Or both? The two terms are often confused because they are so similar. But in reality, they are very different. 🏠 Getting prequalified for a mortgage doesn’t entail a credit check or official documentation. This process simply estimates how much you could qualify to borrow. 🏠 Getting preapproved, on the other hand, requires official documentation; verification of your income, assets, and debts; and a credit check. A preapproval concretely specifies how much you have been approved to borrow. Getting preapproved gives you clarity on how much you can afford, which makes it important to do before you start your home search. Once you find a home, it also assures the seller that you’re serious and financially able to buy their home. Contact us if you’d like assistance getting preapproved for a mortgage. We can connect you with a trusted lending professional who can help. 📲 (702) 308-5648 📩 [email protected]
5 Tips to Save for a Down Payment 📍Save this one so you can come back to it when you’re ready to start saving! 1️⃣ Automate your savings. Set a specific amount of money to go into your savings every time a paycheck is deposited, for example. You won’t need to remember to do it yourself—and can still make progress on your savings. 2️⃣ Start selling items you no longer want or need. Instead of waiting until a few weeks before you move, sell those items now. The profit can go right into your savings account. 3️⃣ Cut the cable cord. Choose one or two streaming platforms to pay for instead and put the extra money toward your down payment savings. 4️⃣ Get a side gig. There are many ways to make extra money, like driving for a rideshare company or getting freelance work—remember to put your earnings right into your savings account. 5️⃣ Adjust your car insurance. If you’re now driving fewer miles because you’re working from home or you’ve improved your credit, you may be able to reduce your monthly insurance payments. All you have to do is call and ask. Saving is important, but remember: it’s never too early to speak with a real estate agent too.

A home warranty can be helpful to homeowners. However, it’s not necessary or right for everyone. Here are some key factors to take into consideration if you’re not sure whether you should get a home warranty: ✔️ A home warranty covers many of the systems and appliances in your home that aren’t covered by homeowners insurance, like HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and some appliances that fail due to age or typical wear and tear. ✔️ This coverage is separate from homeowners insurance. If interested, you’ll need to seek out a policy through a dedicated provider. ✔️ You are still responsible for paying a service fee or deductible every time you use your home warranty and are limited to using service providers who are contracted through your home warranty company. While a home warranty is not required by mortgage companies, it can provide an added peace of mind to have in addition to your homeowners insurance. If you’re not sure whether you need home warranty insurance, contact us so we can help guide you. 📲 (702) 308-5648 📩 [email protected]
