1. Cash buyers.
2. Buyers taking out a mortgage.
3. Homeowners feeling reluctant to give up their current low rate.
4.And builders eager to sell their extra inventory.

Which group you fall in can change how you should approach your move. But that’s where an agent comes in.

A newly built home costs about $40k less than an existing one right now. That's because builders are cutting prices and giving incentives to keep their inventory moving.

And that opens up a window for you to get brand new everything for less than you may expect.

Last year, on average, homes sold with an agent went for 18% more than those that sold without one.

And here's why the gap is so big. The market is balancing out. There are more homes on the market now and that means the strategies that worked a year or two ago won’t work today.

Fall is here but the festivals and parades aren't stopping yet! 🍂

You can't control where rates go.

But you can control a few things that shape the rate you actually get: your credit score, the type of loan you choose, and whether you buy a newly built home since builders are often buying down rates to bring buyers in.

There are more sellers than buyers on the market right now. That means a lot of sellers know they’ll have to compromise a bit to get their house sold, which leaves you room to negotiate on price and terms.

Price cuts have climbed for 7 straight months.

Right now, more than 4 in 10 homes for sale have already had one, and it usually comes down to one thing – the market's moving faster than most sellers expected and their pricing hasn’t necessarily kept up.

The best time to buy a home this year is here.

We’re talking about more homes to choose from, better pricing, less competition, and more time to decide. And maybe that’s enough to offset some of the pressure today’s higher rates are putting on your budget.

Tapping into your 401(k) can feel like an easy call, especially if you’ve got a good chunk saved up.

But pulling from retirement early can trigger penalties and set back the savings you'll want later on.

Here's what's happening around us this weekend!😄

Repeat buyers, you’ve got a big leg up on your next move.

It’s your equity. Sell, and that equity turns into cash you can roll right into your next down payment.

That’s how a lot of repeat buyers put down 20% or more.

#boston #bostonhomes #bostonrealty

More than 40% of sellers are dropping their asking price right now. And the median list price this July was the lowest for any July in 5 years.

That means sellers aren’t expecting buyers to pay whatever they ask. They’re more willing to meet you where you’re at.

The latest home price data just made one thing clear.

More markets are seeing prices rise. And fewer are seeing them fall.

Just one quarter ago, home prices were rising in 71% of markets. Today, it's 80%. That’s a pretty big shift in just 3 months.

#boston #bostonhomes #bostonrealty

One number tells you almost everything you need to know. It's the months' supply of homes for sale.

If there's fewer than 4 months? Sellers have the advantage.
Between 4-6 months? Buyers and sellers are on equal footing.
More than 6 months? Buyers have the power.

What's the one word you'd use to describe this year so far?

For a lot of people, it's stressful. And when everything feels shaky, it’s easy to second-guess the move you were ready to make. But the truth is, the housing market is one thing that’s been remarkably stable.
