Question: How can my mortgage lender help me buy my next house before selling my current one?
Answer: You may have heard the real estate market is starting to slow down. Recent sales data seem to support that notion. You should keep in mind, however, that slowing down does not mean a slow market. It means the frenetic pace at which residential real estate has been sold over the past several years is a little less frenetic now.

Question: In this changing market, is becoming a Realtor still a good idea?
Answer: For many years, and even more so in the last five years, real estate nationwide has been moving at a breakneck pace. Low mortgage rates coupled with low home inventory plus four main generations of buyers (Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z) has meant a lot of people scrambling for their own piece of the American Dream of homeownership.

Question: When do I have to fix this?
Answer: Many new homeowners are making the transition from having landlords in charge of repairs, to being responsible for them all by themselves. It is important that you know not only what to fix, but when. Not everyone can afford to fix everything all at once. If there are a number of repairs needed on a home when you move in — or after five years of living there — it is important to know what to prioritize.
