Part 1 of 2 of our Riverbend home STAGED! If you didn’t see this home unstaged, look at our post from yesterday to see the difference between an unstaged and staged home! The downstairs of this home (part 2) really shows you what staging can do for a vacant room!

Home warranties...should you always get one when purchasing a home? Are they a waste of money? What are your thoughts on home warranties?

Instagram post 2068531284090675095_7704528769

Home inspections...they are necessary when selling a home so both the buyer and seller can truly understand the condition of the home being sold. Who should be the one to pay for said inspection? This is our question to you today...do you feel the BUYER or SELLER should be the one to pay for the inspection?

Are we headed for an Economic Slowdown?

We ended 2018, and then began 2019, with many economic leaders thinking we could expect a recession in late 2019 or early 2020. As spring approached, economists started to push that projection past 2020. Now, three leading surveys indicate that it may begin in the next eighteen months.

What does all of this mean for home buyers and sellers?
Bottom Line:
We are in a strong housing market. Wages are increasing, home prices are appreciating, and mortgage rates are the lowest they have been in 21 months. Whether you are thinking of buying or selling, it’s a great time to be in the market.

Instagram post 2065891059287845911_7704528769

A lot is happening in the world, and it’s having a direct impact on the housing market. The reality is this: some of it is positive and some of it may be negative. Some we just don’t know yet.
Talk of tariffs could definitely have an affect on the housing market. According to a recent article, the National Association of Home Builders reports that as much as $10 billion in goods imported from China are used in homebuilding. Depending on the outcome of the tariff and trade discussions between several countries, there could be as much as a 25% boost in the cost of building materials.

Tomorrow we are going to hit on the looming question of an economic slowdown and find out what all this really means for current buyers and sellers in the market.
Do you have any questions we can answer for you? Post them below!

For the rest of the week we will be covering three areas of the CURRENT housing market that are critical to understand: interest rates, building materials, and the outlook for an economic slowdown.

Today we will focus on INTEREST RATES!
One of the most important things to consider when buying a home is the interest rate you will be charged to borrow the money. We are currently at a 21-month low in interest rates, making this a great time to buy and/or refinance! Are low interest rates here to stay? The latest information from Freddie Mac makes it appear they are. What do you think the current rate is right now according to Freddie Mac for June 2019...3.82%, 4.21%, or 3.5% ?

Tomorrow we will cover building materials/tariffs

We have been showing A LOT of properties lately and our clients are loving one thing about these properties, in particular... Workshops! Does having your own workshop interest you or is there something else you want your next home to have?
