Spring Home Buying Tips




With Spring in full swing it is a busy time not only for home sellers but also home buyers. It can be easy to delay, but here are some facts that might just make your decision process easier.


Tip 1:
Take advantage of current interest rates. Across the nation mortgage rates are lower than they have been since 2013. While this is great news, there is no guarantee that interest rates will remain low. Recent changes by home agencies have also created low-down-payment program options.


Tip 2:
Decide if a new build is the right option for you and your family. Many home buyers worry that new construction is outside of there budget.That may have been true in the past, but now more builders are starting communities with price ranges matching the median income for the area meaning that a new home made to fit your style and needs may be within your reach after all.


Tip 3:
Let a professional help. A real estate agent is an excellent resource for help throughout the whole home buying or selling experience. An agent can streamline the process and mean less headache and stress for you. Having an expert on your side who is familiar with your local real estate market can shorten the time it takes to find the right house for you.
