Do you realize how much pull you have right now as a buyer?

There are more sellers than buyers on the market right now. That means a lot of sellers know they’ll have to compromise a bit to get their house sold, which leaves you room to negotiate on price and terms.

Of course, exactly how much room you have depends on where you’re looking. But more and more markets are trending in favor of buyers, so let’s chat about what’s going on in our area.

Send a DM, and we’ll turn your negotiating power into a set of keys.

You probably think as a general rule of thumb, brand new homes costs more than existing homes. But right now, that's backwards. This shows just how much.

A newly built home costs about $40k less than an existing one right now. That's because builders are cutting prices and piling on incentives to keep their inventory moving.

And that opens up a window for you to get brand new everything for less than you may expect.

DM me if you want a list of nearby new home communities offering deals like this right now to see if a new build may be in your budget after all.

Have you seen the headlines about using your 401(k) to cover a down payment?

Tapping it can feel like an easy call, especially if you’ve got a good chunk saved up. But pulling from retirement early can trigger penalties and set back the savings you'll want later on.

But you don’t necessarily have to raid your retirement to buy a home. You’ve got other options, like FHA loans, which let qualified buyers put down as little as 3.5%. And down payment assistance programs can help, too.

So, before you touch your 401(k), talk with a trusted financial advisor. They can help you find the option that fits your goals and your budget.

🏡 FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS:
DON’T LET THE MORTGAGE RATE BE THE ONLY THING YOU LOOK AT!

If you’re a first-time homebuyer in Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County, or anywhere in Southern California, the right home loan starts with understanding what you can comfortably afford—not simply chasing the lowest interest rate.

Before you start searching for Los Angeles homes or making an offer, ask yourself these 3 questions:

1️⃣ WHAT MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENT CAN I COMFORTABLY AFFORD?

Your California home buying budget should be based on a monthly payment that works with your income and lifestyle. Look beyond the interest rate and consider principal, interest, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and other applicable costs.

2️⃣ HOW MUCH CASH DO I REALLY NEED TO BUY A HOME?

Many first-time homebuyers assume they need a huge down payment. Depending on your situation, there may be FHA loans, VA home loans, Conventional financing, and Down Payment Assistance programs that can help qualified buyers.

A Southern California mortgage broker can help you understand your available options before you start house hunting.

3️⃣ WHAT HOME PRICE FITS MY FINANCIAL GOALS?

Getting a mortgage pre-approval can help you determine your realistic homebuying budget and strengthen your position when making an offer.

Whether you're looking for a first-time homebuyer mortgage in Los Angeles County, an Orange County home loan, or Riverside County home financing, having a clear plan can make the process much less stressful.
