Is the idea of saving for a down payment holding you back from buying a home right now? You may be eager to take advantage of today’s low mortgage rates, but the thought of needing a large down payment might make you want to pump the brakes. Today, there’s still a common myth that you have to come up with 20% of the total sale price for your down payment. This means people who could buy a home may be putting their plans on hold because they don’t have that much saved yet. The reality is, whether you’re looking for your first home … (0 comments)

Are you looking for a bargain home? Trying to find an inexpensive almost cheap and affordable single family home in the Phoenix Arizona metro area within 35 miles commute distance is not easy. These closer in to Phoenix homes have shopping, freeways, employment, entertainment and they are not in the DEEP perimeter cities of Buckeye, Maricopa, San Tan Valley which can have 50+ miles from downtown...sometimes just too far to commute each day. The Phoenix metro makes up Maricopa County, but the perimeter cities have longer commutes unless you live near where you work.

firsttimehomebuyers: Here's the Difference between a SoCal Appraisal and a Home Inspection! - 01/26/21 12:58 PM

We believe every family should feel confident when buying and selling a home.
If you’re planning to buy a home, an appraisal is an important step in the process. It’s a professional evaluation of the market value of the home you’d like to buy. In most cases, an appraisal is ordered by the lender to confirm or verify the value of the home prior to lending a buyer money for the purchase. It’s also a different step in the process from a home inspection, which assesses the condition of the home before you finalize the transaction. Here’s the breakdown of each one and why they’re both important when buying a home.

As we look back over the past year, we’ve certainly lived through one of the most stressful periods in recent history. After spending so much more time at home throughout the health crisis, some are wondering if they should move to improve their mental health and well-being.

firsttimehomebuyers: Owning a SoCal Home Is Still More Affordable Than Renting One - 01/20/21 01:35 PM

If spending more time at home over the past year is making you really think hard about buying a home instead of renting one, you’re not alone. You may be wondering, however, if the dollars and cents add up in your favor as home prices continue to rise. According to the experts, in many cases, it’s still more affordable to buy a home than rent one. Here’s why.
ATTOM Data Solutions recently released the 2021 Rental Affordability Report, which states:
“Owning a median-priced three-bedroom home is more affordable than renting a three-bedroom property in 572, or 63 percent of the 915 U.S. counties analyzed for the report.

firsttimehomebuyers: SoCal Purchase or ReFi-Should I Wait for Lower Mortgage Interest Rates? - 01/19/21 01:39 PM

Historically low mortgage rates are a big motivator for homebuyers right now. In 2020 alone, rates hit new record-lows 16 times, and the trend continued into the early part of this year. Many hopeful homebuyers are now wondering if they should put their plans on hold and wait for the lowest rates imaginable. However, the reality is, acting sooner rather than later may be the actual win if you’re ready to buy a home.
According to Greg McBride, Chief Financial Analyst for Bankrate:
“As vaccines become more widely available and a return to normal starts to come into view, we’ll see mortgage rates bounce off the record lows.”

firsttimehomebuyers: SoCal Home Equity Is So Important In Building Wealth - 01/06/21 08:59 AM

Homeownership has always been the first rung on the ladder leading to household wealth. As Freddie Mac recently posted:
“Homeownership has cemented its role as part of the American Dream, providing families with a place that is their own and an avenue for building wealth over time. This ‘wealth’ is built, in large part, through the creation of equity…Building equity through your monthly principal payments and appreciation is a critical part of homeownership that can help you create financial stability.”
Home equity is the difference between the current market value of your house and the amount you currently owe on your mortgage. To estimate … (0 comments)
