makes all the difference

stivalettaproperties Every day you wait to buy, homes get more expensive. And experts project national home prices will increase by 3-4% per year over the next 5 years (Massachusetts 4-6%). The good news is, that while prices are projected to rise, they won’t go up as drastically as they have over the past few years. So, buying now not only lets you lock in today’s prices; it puts you in a position to build equity as they go up. Trying to time the market rarely works. If you’re able to buy, but you’re waiting around to see what will happen with prices or mortgage rates, think about this: what’s more important, waiting for the “perfect” moment or getting ahead now? #firsttimehomebuyer # housingmarket # keepingcurrentmatters

stivalettaproperties If you’ve been waiting for mortgage rates to drop a little, I have some good news.  The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) reports that mortgage applications surged 11.2% for the week ending March 7, with refinance applications up 16% and 90% higher year-over-year. There was also a 31% annual increase in overall applications 👀

stivalettaproperties The next 30 days bring the perfect storm for listing conditions. Traditionally, this season brings higher web traffic, higher prices, and fewer homes on the market = less competition. If you’re thinking of selling this Spring it’s time to have a conversation!
