Want to buy a home but not sure if it’s worth it right now? Here’s something to consider. Experts agree home prices will continue to climb for at least the next 5 years. That means buying later will only cost more. But, if you go ahead and buy now, that rise in prices means you could gain over $80,000 in equity in the next couple of years. I know this is a tough market to buy in, but if you’re ready and you can make the numbers work, this is why it’ll be worth it.

With interest rates on a downward trend, the market may see some of these shifts: Increased Buying Power 💪💰 Lower rates can mean more affordable monthly payments, potentially allowing buyers to qualify for higher-priced homes. Market Activity Boost 📈 Lower rates often encourage more buyers to enter the market, potentially increasing demand and home sales. Refinancing Opportunities 🔄 Homeowners might consider refinancing to lower their monthly payments or tap into equity. Investment Property Appeal 🔑 Lower borrowing costs can make investment properties more attractive, potentially leading to growth in the rental market. Remember, every situation is unique.

We're less than a week away from the 1st Annual RealEDGE Summit. One of the things that sparked my interest in hosting this event was the blurring lines between real estate, mortgage and title. More and more our customers tell us that they see homeownership - buying a home or refinancing their home - as one process. When the customer speaks, we listen. We are looking for ways to use technology and data to collaborate to exceed the constantly increasing expectations of future home buyers. Only by working together can we actually lower the cost and improve service. As part of the RealEDGE Summit, we're going to be discussing hot topics. What are your burning questions or things you'd want to learn more about? 🔥Market implications of the NAR Settlement ⚡ Exploration of title insurance alternatives like AOLs and waivers 📉 Second liens were the hot product earlier in 2024, with rates dropping will we see debt consolidation refis? Tell me in the comments below 👇, what else would you want to hear? What else are you thinking about that will guide your business over the next few months? #RealEDGE #RealEDGESummit #FenwayPark #SilkTitleCo #innovation #titleinsurance #homeownership

Wondering what’s really happening with home prices? This visual should help. Data shows home price appreciation is moderating nationally. That means prices are still rising, just not as fast. And if you compare the numbers for last year to 2024, you can see it. But that’s just the national picture. If you want to know what prices are doing in our area, DM me. #homepriceappreciation #realestatenews #buysellinvestsatx #RentertoWealthbuilder #RealEstateRanger #conversetx #SATX #cibolotx #schertztx #sanantonio #texasrealtor #SATXRealtor

What You Really Need To Know About Home Prices According to recent data from Fannie Mae, almost 1 in 4 people still think home prices are going to come down. If you’re one of the people worried about that, here’s what you need to know. A lot of that fear is probably coming from what you’re hearing in the media or reading online. But here’s the thing to remember. Negative news sells. That means, you may not be getting the full picture. You may only be getting the clickbait version... #realestatenews #realestateagent #buysellinvestsatx #buysellinvestwithsheldon #RealEstateRanger #conversetx #SATX #cibolotx #schertztx #sanantonio #texasrealtor #SATXRealtor

WARREN BUFFETT WATCH Satellite radio exchange play slides underwater as bet increases Berkshire Hathaway has been steadily adding this year to its positions in two tracking stocks (LSXMA and LSXMK) connected to Liberty Media's Sirius XM radio service.   In SEC filings tonight (Friday) three hours after the market close, it disclosed the purchases over the past three days of another 1.9 million shares for $50.1 million.   Combined with shares it bought on April 4 through April 8, it has spent $147.3 million so far this month and almost $1.2 billion since January 2.   The apparent goal: take advantage of a price differential in an upcoming reorganization that was announced in mid-December in which each tracking stock share will be exchanged for 8.4 shares of Sirius XM Holdings (SIRI). At the beginning of the year, it looked like a good deal. SIRI was trading at $5.49 per share, putting the exchange value at more than $46 for a tracking share then valued at less than $30.   Since then, however, SIRI has dropped by more than 41% to close at $3.21 today.   In the last week, based on SIRI's closing price each day, the value of the shares Berkshire would receive for the tracking stock shares it has bought this year has dropped below what it paid for them.   As of tonight, Berkshire has paid $1.18 billion this year for 40.3 million tracking shares that would, at SIRI's current price, be exchanged for 338.6 million shares valued at $1.09 billion, for a loss of around $90 million.   It's also lost money, on paper, just with the tracking shares it has bought this year. Based on tonight's close, they are valued at just over $1.0 billion.   Things could change before the exchange takes place. It's expected to happen in this year's third quarter, although it could come earlier.   Berkshire may be playing another game altogether, but right now it looks like the money it has spent adding to its LSXMA and LSXMK positions this year isn't going to be a winning investment. #mortgage #mortgages #broker #brokers #mortgagebroker #mortgagebrokers

Despite how HGTV and the like portray home flipping as an easy and fun way to make money, most flips end up in the red. Guess who the flipper is going to try to get to share in their pain. So don’t buy a flipped home. Instead, use a loan that includes money for renovation (e.g. FHA 203k). That way, you can manage the work and make sure there are no hidden surprises behind the walls. #homeflippers #hgtv #realestate #chicagorealestate #chicagorealestatelawyer
