@danielacafarore.bsky.socialA 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.
@danielacafarore.bsky.socialFall is here but the festivals and parades aren't stopping yet! đ
@danielacafarore.bsky.socialYou 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.
@danielacafarore.bsky.socialThere are more sellers than buyers on the market right now. That means a lot of sellers know theyâll have to compromise a bit to get their house sold, which leaves you room to negotiate on price and terms.
@danielacafarore.bsky.socialPrice 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 â the market's moving faster than most sellers expected and their pricing hasnât necessarily kept up.
@danielacafarore.bsky.socialOctober has finally arrived, and here are some events that you have to look forward to this weekend!
@danielacafarore.bsky.socialThe best time to buy a home this year is here.
Weâre talking about more homes to choose from, better pricing, less competition, and more time to decide. And maybe thatâs enough to offset some of the pressure todayâs higher rates are putting on your budget.
@danielacafarore.bsky.socialBuying and selling at the same time and not sure where to start?
Letâs talk through the pros and cons. Weâll figure out what makes the most sense for you â and how to make the whole process as stress-free as possible.
@danielacafarore.bsky.socialTapping into your 401(k) can feel like an easy call, especially if youâve got a good chunk saved up.
But pulling from retirement early can trigger penalties and set back the savings you'll want later on.
@danielacafarore.bsky.socialHere's what's happening around us this weekend!đ
@danielacafarore.bsky.socialRepeat buyers, youâve got a big leg up on your next move.
Itâs your equity. Sell, and that equity turns into cash you can roll right into your next down payment.
Thatâs how a lot of repeat buyers put down 20% or more.
@danielacafarore.bsky.socialMore 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 arenât expecting buyers to pay whatever they ask. Theyâre more willing to meet you where youâre at.
@danielacafarore.bsky.socialFinally a festival for pizza lovers! đ
@danielacafarore.bsky.socialThe 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%. Thatâs a pretty big shift in just 3 months.
@danielacafarore.bsky.socialOne 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.
@danielacafarore.bsky.socialWhat'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, itâs easy to second-guess the move you were ready to make. But the truth is, the housing market is one thing thatâs been remarkably stable.
@danielacafarore.bsky.socialThis weekend, Cambridge is the place to be! Check out these events!
