I had the best time at the Fontainebleau in Miami last week for ! We celebrated the agents of HomeServices of America that set the standard. I got to interact with agents and loan officers from across the country to get inspired, share ideas, and become stronger together. I can't wait for the next one!

🏡 Terminology Tuesday: Mortgage Servicing!

The mortgage journey doesn't end at closing! 🔑

💡 Mortgage servicing is what happens after you get the keys, from processing monthly payments to managing escrow accounts and providing ongoing support.

At Prosperity Home Mortgage, our commitment to homeowners goes beyond closing day. 💙

Relentless in Service. Relentless in Servicing, too.

Affordability looks different in every market—and every household. 🏡

Realtor.com’s latest analysis shows a wide gap between household incomes and the income needed to afford a typical home, with substantial differences from state to state.

Those numbers highlight a real challenge. They also make a local, personal conversation worth having. Statewide medians don’t capture your neighborhood, your savings, your monthly obligations, or the financing options you may qualify for.

We're here to help you understand those details. Together with your real estate agent’s insight into local prices and available homes, we can build a clearer picture of what may be within reach.

Let’s start with your numbers—and a plan built around your goals.

Appraisal reports are getting a major update. 👀🏠

Beginning November 2, the industry moves to UAD 3.6 for new conventional appraisal reports submitted to UCDP. The redesigned report uses more structured, standardized property information, which may mean greater detail around:

📐 Square footage and measurements
🏡 ADUs, additions and converted spaces
🔨 Renovations, updates and property features
📸 Photos, condition and potential discrepancies

A longer report does not automatically mean something is wrong. The new format does not create property issues. It may simply make existing details more visible and consistent.

Sellers and real estate colleagues can help by sharing permits, plans, renovation history, accessory-unit information and any known differences between listing and public-record square footage as early as possible.

More detail. Fewer surprises. 💙

When rates give buyers pause, it’s worth getting curious about your options. 🏡

In markets where buyers have more room to negotiate, seller concessions could help fund a 2/1 temporary buydown—providing some breathing room in your monthly budget as you settle into homeownership.

Here’s how it works:
• Year 1: Principal-and-interest payments calculated at a rate 2 percentage points below your loan’s fixed rate.
• Year 2: Payments calculated at a rate 1 percentage point below.
• Year 3 onward: Payments based on your loan’s full fixed rate.

The opportunity starts with a conversation about the whole picture: the home, the terms, and a payment that fits your budget beyond those first two years.

Wondering what this could look like for your purchase? Let’s run the numbers together.

Subject to loan program requirements and seller agreement. Temporary payment reductions do not change your loan’s fixed interest rate.
