  The Fed's pivot from 'maybe more hikes' to 'cuts next year' had the markets in ecstasy. The Dow and S&P 500 hit all-time records. The yield on the 10-yr US treasury went below 4%. And average 30-year mortgage rates fell to 6.6%.

Starting the process by "just browsing" could be setting yourself up for heartbreak. Before you go looking for (and falling in love with) a home, you need a realistic idea of what you can afford, make sure your credit is in good shape, get pre-approved for a mortgage, and most importantly find a great agent to work with. I can help you with that last one, I'm the great agent. #rgvRoy #rgv956 #rgvhomebuying #thehelpfulagent #rgvhome #houseexpert #house #listreports #homeowners #househunting #themoreyouknow #beprepared #investment #icanhelp #realestate #realestateagent

Why Get A Home Inspection

Image
  Home inspections are for you, the buyer. Attending the inspection with your agent (who is hopefully me!) is a great idea. Plan for it to take 2-3 hours. You'll spend time in the home and learn a lot about it. #rgvRoy #rgv #rgvhomes #rgvrealestate #thehelpfulagent #home #houseexpert #house #listreports #homeowner #househunting #homeinspection #happyhome #themoreyouknow #icanhelp #realestate #realestateagent #realtor #hapyhomeowners

The Benefits of Downsizing For A Homeowner

Image
Downsizing is a popular choice for homeowners when they retire or when their  needs  change, but with inflation still high, it’s also a way to reduce costs. Downsizing could help cut  down  on your  expenses  and your  equity  can  fuel  your move. If you’re thinking about  moving  to a smaller home,  connect  with a real estate professional to go over your housing  goals  and  look  at your options in the local market.
