Is now the time?
You know the story: Cheerios are scattered on the kitchen counter, shoes are piled in the entryway, and fall activities (is it your turn to bring snacks for the soccer team?) are in full swing. Amid the happy chaos of back-to-school season, many parents wonder if their current home is meeting their busy family's needs—and if now is the right time to move.
As home prices stabilize and mortgage rates drop, today’s real estate market offers great opportunities for homebuyers. According to Real Estate News, more homebuyers are opting for new builds: With an ongoing shortage of previously owned houses (and inventory expected to tighten in the coming months), buyers are searching for homes that are not only available and move-in ready, but designed for modern family life.
Buying a new-build or resale home can be a stressful experience—but you can minimize that stress by setting realistic expectations, getting preapproved financing, finding a knowledgeable agent, doing your research, and taking care of yourself. Follow the steps outlined in this article to feel less stress and anxiety, and more confident about the homebuying process.
