A client asked me a few days ago, "Are interest rates going to go up? I am afraid I could lose my house". Unfortunately, the 2008 financial crisis still feels very recent, but much misinformation exists. And my answer to him was, "Absolutely not! You are locked in with an amazing rate, and your monthly payment will continue to be the same for the entire 30 years of your loan!". But let me explain a...

Over the last few weeks, we've heard media reports about inflation finally being under control. But is this real or just a "mirage"?   Let's start by explaining that inflation is the increase in the overall price level of goods and services in an economy over time.

The real estate market, like the weather, goes through seasons. We are now facing the fall season, where supply and demand drop and will reach their lowest point during winter. And then again, next year, after the Superbowl, we will see it get warmer again.   On the other hand, many potential buyers have decided to wait to purchase a home until next year to see what happens with interest...

We all know the market has shifted, we hear it daily, and the media, as always, loves to make it sound like a crisis. The thing is, if it's not negative news, it will not sell. So here is the (not so negative) real estate market summary. For almost two years, we were in the deepest seller's market our country has ever faced. We all heard about it; everything sold quickly, at record-high...

Usually, the most cosmetically appealing home on the market is the first to sell at a higher price.
