Pro’s & Con’s of Buying vs Renting

Pro's & Con's of Buying vs Renting

In past decades, the decision whether to buy or rent a home could move from buy to rent and back again based on interest rates and market factors mostly. However, over the long haul, the consensus was that it was usually better to buy than to rent. Renting was often considered as throwing money away, since there was no equity being built over time. In more recent times, there are other factors that have complicated the decision for many. Particularly for the Millennial generation and younger … Continue reading...

Various homeownership surveys show that about two-thirds of renters aspire to someday be homeowners. And the National Association of Realtors reports that about one-third of all homebuyers each year are first-time buyers. Depending on the market, renting vs. buying is often a financial decision, which makes the most sense for a household's budget.

Do Buyers Need a Home Warranty?

Do Buyers Need a Home Warranty?

There are quite a few upfront costs associated with buying a home, including the down payment, closing costs, and moving expenses. Those are all expected. When moving into a home, the last thing homebuyers need is a large, unexpected expense on top of those. That's where a home warranty comes in. A home warranty offers limited-time protection against the failure of a home's systems - heating and cooling, electrical, plumbing, and sometimes appliances. It is different from homeowners' … Continue reading...

Buying a Home with an HOA: 5 Things to Consider

How to Downsize and Organize in 4 Easy Steps

5 Tips for Downsizing and Organizing

People most often downsize to a different home simply because they don't need as much space as they currently occupy. It doesn't make sense to put up with all the tasks that come with owning a large home when you no longer need one. Downsizing to a smaller home, though, is likely to come with the need to do some streamlining. If you've lived in a larger house, you've probably accumulated a lot of "stuff." When downsizing, some organizing of that stuff is in order. Here's how to downsize … Continue reading...
