Remote Work Has Changed Our Home Needs. Is It Time for Your Home To Change, Too? Over the past year, many homeowners realized what they need in a home is changing, especially with the rise in remote work. If you’re longing for a dedicated home office or a change in scenery, now may be the time to find the home that addresses your evolving needs. >>Working from Home Isn’t a Passing Fad Before the pandemic, only 21% of individuals worked from home. However, if you’ve recently discovered remote work is your new normal, you’re not alone. A recent survey of hiring managers conducted by Statista and Upwork projects nearly 40% of U.S. workers will work remotely in some capacity over the next 5 years. >>Working from Home Gives You More Flexibility and More Options If you fall in that category, working from home may provide you with opportunities you didn’t realize you had.

3 Charts That Show This Isn’t a Housing Bubble With home prices continuing to deliver double digit increases, some are concerned we’re in a housing bubble like the one in 2006. However, a closer look at the market data indicates this is nothing like 2006 for three major reasons. >>The housing market isn’t driven by risky mortgage loans. Back in 2006, nearly everyone could qualify for a loan. The Mortgage Credit Availability Index (MCAI) from the Mortgage Bankers’ Association is an indicator of the availability of mortgage money. The higher the index, the easier it is to obtain a mortgage. The MCAI more than doubled from 2004 (378) to 2006 (869). Today, the index stands at 130. >>Homeowners aren’t using their homes as ATMs this time. During the housing bubble, as prices skyrocketed, people were refinancing their homes and pulling out large sums of cash. As prices began to fall, that caused many to spiral... #Bgroup #Prescott #Realtor #Homes #Smart

What You Should Do Before Interest Rates Rise In today’s real estate market, mortgage interest rates are near record lows. If you’ve been in your current home for several years and haven’t refinanced lately, there’s a good chance you have a mortgage with an interest rate higher than today’s average. Here are some options you should consider if you want to take advantage of today’s current low rates before they rise. >>Sell and Move Up (or Downsize) If you’re considering either of these, there may not be a better time to move. Today’s rates are below 3%, but experts forecast rates to rise over the next few years. If the interest rate on your current mortgage is higher than today’s average, take advantage of this opportunity by making a move and securing a lower rate. Lower rates mean you may be able to get more house for your money and still have a lower monthly mortgage payment than you might... #Bgroup #Prescott #Realtor #Homes #Smart

Diving Deep into Today’s Biggest Buyer Concerns Last week, Fannie Mae released their Home Purchase Sentiment Index (HPSI). Though the survey showed 77% of respondents believe it’s a “good time to sell,” it also confirms what many are sensing: an increasing number of Americans believe it’s a “bad time to buy” a home. The percentage of those surveyed saying it’s a “bad time to buy” hit 64%, up from 56% last month and 38% last July. The latest HPSI explains, “It’s likely that affordability concerns are more greatly affecting those who aspire to be first-time homeowners than other consumer segments.” Let’s look closely at the market conditions that impact home affordability. A mortgage payment is determined by the price of the home and the mortgage rate on the loan used to purchase it. Lately, monthly mortgage payments have gone up for buyers for two key reasons: >>Mortgage rates have... #Bgroup #Prescott #Realtor #Homes #Smart

Experts Agree: Options Are Improving for Buyers [INFOGRAPHIC] Buyers hoping for more homes to choose from may be in luck as housing inventory begins to rise.
