🚗 Not every buyer needs the same road.
Sometimes Down Payment Assistance isn't the best route to your destination.
There are other ways to structure the financing that may make more sense for the buyer.

⛽ Example: A 2-1 Buydown
Instead of putting every available dollar toward upfront costs, a seller concession may be used toward a temporary rate buydown—potentially giving the buyer a much lower payment during the first two years.

Different buyer. Different situation. Different route. 🗺️
My job isn't to put everyone on the same road.
It's to help you find the right one.

OK… ESTA BAJADA DE PRECIO SÍ ESTÁ INTERESANTE. 👀🏡

La casa en Country Pines, Magnolia, acaba de bajar otra vez.

💰 Ahora: $565,000
📊 Zillow la estima en $717,461
🤯 ¡Más de $150,000 de diferencia!

Y estamos hablando de:

🏡 3 recámaras
🛁 3 baños
📐 2,225 pies²
🌳 5 acres
🏊‍♂️ Piscina privada

Obviamente, una estimación de Zillow no es lo mismo que un avalúo, pero cuando ves una propiedad con estas características y el precio sigue bajando, definitivamente vale la pena echarle un vistazo.

Y esto es algo que siempre les digo:

No se enfoquen solamente en la tasa. También miren el precio de la casa y el trato completo.

Las tasas pueden cambiar. Los precios pueden cambiar. Pero una buena oportunidad también puede desaparecer.

$565K por 5 acres, piscina y más de 2,200 pies² en Magnolia… yo sí preguntaría por ella. 👀

Me hacen esta pregunta todo el tiempo: "¿Ahorita es buen momento para comprar una casa?" 🏡

Mi respuesta siempre es la misma... depende.

Lo que sí estoy viendo en este momento es que los compradores tienen mucho más poder para negociar que hace unos años. Muchos vendedores están bajando el precio de sus propiedades, están abiertos a negociar y, en algunos casos, hasta ayudan con los costos de cierre.

Tomen esta casa en Magnolia, TX como ejemplo:

🏡 3 Recámaras | 2.5 Baños
📐 2,225 pies cuadrados
🌳 5 acres de terreno
🏊 Alberca privada

Esta propiedad salió al mercado en $745,000 y ahora está en $665,000... ¡una reducción de $80,000! 🤯

Si quieren saber si califican o simplemente quieren que hagamos los números juntos, con gusto les ayudo. 🏡💬

I get asked all the time, "Is now a good time to buy a house?" My answer is always... it depends. What I am seeing right now is buyers have a lot more leverage than they did a few years ago. Sellers are dropping prices, negotiating, and in some cases even helping with closing costs. Take this home in Magnolia, TX for example: 🏡 3 Bed | 2.5 Bath 📐 2,225 Sq. Ft. 🌳 5 Acres 🏊 Private Pool This home was originally listed at $745,000 and is now down to $665,000... that's an $80,000 price drop. 🤯
I'd be happy to run the numbers with you. 🏡💬

"Is now a good time to buy a house?"
I get asked that all the time, and my answer is always:
It depends on your goals.
What I am seeing right now is that buyers have a lot more leverage than they did a few years ago. Sellers are reducing prices, negotiating closing costs, and offering concessions again.

Take this property in Magnolia, TX for example: 3 Bedrooms | 2.5 Bathrooms
5 Acres
Private Pool
2,225 Sq. Ft.

This home was originally listed at $745,000 and is now listed for $665,000.
A recent valuation estimates the property at around $713,000, so if the home's market value supports that estimate, a buyer could be walking into potential equity on day one. Add in the possibility of negotiating seller-paid closing costs, and that's the kind of opportunity buyers should be paying attention to.
If you've been waiting for the "right time" to buy, this could be exactly the type of deal worth looking at.

One of the biggest misconceptions about VA loans is that 0% down means $0 out of pocket. That's not always the case.
VA loans are an amazing benefit, but depending on the transaction, there may still be closing costs and prepaid expenses. The good news is there are often ways to reduce those costs with the right loan strategy.
If you're a veteran or active-duty military and have questions about your VA benefits, let's talk.
