Shouting this from the mountain tops... Add a little bit of money towards your mortgage payment every month, or even just once a year. Why? It can save you *tens or even hundreds of thousands* in interest over the lifetime of your loan. 🤯 Got a little work bonus? Put a portion of it towards your loan. Got money back on your taxes? You already know what we're going to say... These are the numbers we used in the example: ➡️ $550k 30-year loan ➡️ 5% down payment ➡️ 6.2% interest rate Google: "Freddie Mac extra payment calculator" to play with the numbers for yourself - it's shocking to see what you can save!! P.S. Before you choose a loan, ask your lender if there are any pre-payment penalties.

Grateful for you, Merryl! 🌟 It's been a pleasure helping you throughout the years. Thank you so much for sharing your experience! 🙏

POV: You worked smarter, not harder to get you into your dream home. How? By leveraging the equity in your starter home. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: ✅ Equity is the difference between your home's current market value and what you still owe on your mortgage. ✅ As your home appreciates in value over time, and as you make mortgage payments, your equity grows. Let's say you purchased a starter home in 2022 for $365,000. Let's estimate that by 2026, due to market appreciation, your home's value will have increased to $425,000. Assuming you've made consistent mortgage payments, let's say you've reduced your mortgage balance to $275,000. EQUITY MATH: $425,000 (current value) - $275,000 (mortgage balance) = $150,000 in home equity. USING YOUR EQUITY: 1️⃣ Sell Your Current Home: The proceeds from the sale, minus any closing costs, will be your total equity. 2️⃣ Down Payment: A significant portion of your equity can be used as a down payment on your next home. 3️⃣ Closing Costs: The remaining equity can help cover closing costs associated with buying your new home, such as appraisal fees, title insurance, and attorney's fees. By strategically leveraging the equity in your starter home, you can increase your purchasing power and move closer to your forever home! 💫 Questions? Send us a DM!

The time to buy is different for everyone. 🏡 You may have flexibility, or you may need to move in a month. Being able to determine the best course of action is so important in shifting markets. The market pricing remains strong here, yet inventory has increased, and many homes are staying on the market much longer. Many people wait too long to buy 'hoping' something will shift with interest rates or pricing, and miss out on great opportunities or motivated sellers. The bottom line is that there is no 'perfect' time to buy. ✨ Call us to discuss what your hopes are for your next home! 📞
