Could You Be One of 4 Million?

If you’re renting and thinking about buying a home someday, your rental payment history may be worth a closer look.

New options are emerging that allow eligible renters to have on-time rent payments reported to credit bureaus, potentially helping them build their credit history.

While rent reporting doesn’t guarantee a higher credit score or mortgage approval, it may be one step toward strengthening your credit profile as you prepare for future homeownership.

You’re already paying rent. Could those payments help you prepare for what’s next?

Reach out to me to learn more about preparing your credit and exploring your home financing options. Let’s talk about your goals and the steps you can take toward homeownership!

Worried You Might Regret Buying a Home Right Now?

With mortgage rates still a concern, everyday expenses on the rise, and economic uncertainty continuing, it’s understandable to have questions about whether now is the right time to buy a home.

However, a recent NerdWallet survey found that only 3% of homeowners surveyed who had recently purchased a home said they regretted their decision.
Homeownership is a personal decision, and there’s no way to know exactly how the market, home values, or interest rates will change over time.

For some buyers, owning a home may offer an opportunity to build equity gradually as they pay down their mortgage and, depending on market conditions, their home’s value.

The key is finding an option that fits your budget, goals, and current financial situation.

If homeownership is still on your mind, let’s explore your options and discuss whether buying a home may be a good fit for you.

🏡 You may have more negotiating room than you think.

About 60% of homes are selling below their original asking price, according to a recent Redfin report.

With affordability still top of mind, negotiating on price could be an important part of the homebuying conversation.

How much room there is to negotiate can vary by market, neighborhood, and property.
