There are many loan types available right now and it's hard to know which is right for your unique situation. Each loan and family scenario are different but these are some basic guidelines that will help explain where you can start.

Right now, other factors that are playing a huge part in our current market are Seller credits, rate buy-downs, how is the typical buyer/seller to understand all these confusing terms regarding one of the most important investments of their lives?

Don't listen to the media's scare tactics, allow us to clarify all the terms and meanings so you can make a sound decision for your family's future! Call us today for a risk free discussion!! 916-995-9385

If you were to move, where would it be? What attributes would your new home have that you don't have now?
- Single story or two Story?
- Acreage or small lot?
- Big kitchen or small kitchen?
- More bedrooms or less bedrooms?
- Swimming pool or no pool?
If you're budgeting to buy a new home, below is a general guideline of expenses you will need to consider.

I was on a call today and heard some interesting stats about the Housing Market from our National Association of Realtors (NAR) and their numbers are of course, National.
So, this prompted me to provide some LOCAL stats to our friends and clients.

🍃 Rates are higher than last year AND we have so many more options for buyers and sellers than last year.
🍃 LESS Inventory means LESS Competition for both sides!
It's a great time to buy and sell when you have a team that shows you options to make it work for you and your family!

✨Let us know how we can serve you.✨

Sellers, if you're priced right, it can be an excellent escrow for you. If you're stuck in hot headlines from the past... Well, good luck.

PAST 2 WEEKS OF PENDINGS IN SAC REGION
- 35 avg days to get into contract
- 39.6% had multiple offers
- 48.7% had a price drop before pending

Half of active listings have had a price reduction in the Sacramento region. Sellers, this is a solid stat to embrace. In other words, this is exactly why you don't want to overprice. There is more supply today and less competition. Price it right.

We often assume people know this or the lender will tell them but…

!!!Buyers!!! DO NOT make any big purchases, change jobs, quit your job, open/apply for new credit cards or line of credit. It will affect your FICO Score and loan qualification. Wait until after you close!

Watch Cassidy Gard’s emotional TikTok video about how simply opening a Home Depot credit card for a $9 purchase is likely going to cause her not to be able to buy a house.

Take a look at local stats. If you’d like to see more fine tuned stats for your area, let us know!!

We’ve seen a sharp uptick in housing supply over the past few months in Sacramento. Monthly supply at 1.74 really isn’t high, but it’s high enough to help change the feel of the market. Some say, “Bro, five months is normal, so it’s a joke to make a big deal out of less than two months.” I get it, but five months is NOT normal for Sacramento (that would be a major oversupply). In short, we are basically at the lower end of a normal range of housing supply right now. Any thoughts?

Lol this is funny. And believe it or not, not all realtors have this personality!

It takes all kinds of kinds :)

Wondering what’s happening in the market? Here’s a quick snapshot! Not a crash, don’t panic!

Definitely a long overdue adjustment. Still a good time to sell, just need to educate sellers the market has shifted. Buyers are still buying and getting more incentives and less competing offers!

This visual shows how properties are selling compared to their original list price. The past two years have been way higher than normal until a sharp change this past month (black line). Finally these figures are coming back down to earth. Now let's watch how this line evolves in coming months. Any thoughts?
