Saving for a down payment can seem like a daunting task, but the more you know about what’s required, the more prepared you’ll be to make the best decision for you and your family. This tax season, your refund could be your key to homeownership.

Even though there’s a big buyer demand for homes in today’s low inventory market, it doesn’t mean you should price your home as high as the sky when you’re ready to sell. Here’s why making sure you price it right is key to driving the best price for the sale.

Now is a great time to consider putting your home on the market. The competition (number of houses on the market) has not been this low in decades. It’s best not to wait for the inventory (both existing homes and new construction) to increase in the spring, as it always does.

The latest real estate headlines are abuzz with news of low-interest rates. The number of home buyers continues to grow as people attempt to take advantage of the excellent interest rates.  A new report from the National Association of Realtors indicates that people who buy a home this year should consider themselves lucky as affordability is expected to worsen in the coming years.

Today’s sellers market might be your best chance to make a move.
