  • How to Buy a Home: Earnest Money

    In this episode of How to Buy a Home, I will explain important concepts related to Earnest Money. In most real estate transactions, earnest money will be required by the Seller from the Buyer as part of the real estate contract. I'm going to answer several questions related to earnest money that most people ask me when buying a home.

    * What is earnest money?
    * Where does it go during a transaction?
    * When is it due?
    * What is it used for at closing?
    * What if I terminate? Will I get it back? How soon?
    * What if I don't turn it in on time?
    * What if there is an earnest money dispute?
    I hope you find this episode helpful. If you can think of any other questions, let me know in the comments below!

  • July 2023 Market Update

    Many variables are impacting our housing market. Overall, compared to last year, the housing market in Northern Colorado is stabilizing. No major changes in one direction or another. I think many buyers and sellers are holding off due to higher interest rates and some uncertainty with regards to the economy. There are buyers and sellers out there moving forward but it seems more people are in a wait and see mode. What will change that? When mortgage interest rates get below 6% and stay there for a while. Hopefully, if the experts are correct, that will happen by years end.
    In this episode I highlight the inflation rate, mortgage interest rates and the local market data so that you can see how things are trending. Questions? Don't hesitate to get in touch with me personally or leave a comment/question below.

  • June 2023 Market Update

    While there has been a drastic change from last year at this time, we are seeing a milder trend developing in our most recent market. I cover the changes year over year and month over month so that you can see how the market is trending.

    Want to know what is happening to the inflation rate? I cover this and how it impacts mortgage interest rates. I also address foreclosures, something that may be impacting you or someone you know. While overall there isn't a significant increase in homeowners being foreclosed on, if it is happening to you or someone you know, there is hope.
