Want to make 2025 your year??✨

Let’s start here:

💰Put your savings into an account that helps it GROW! Do some research on different accounts and talk to a pro about to how to make your savings work harder for you!!

⏳Timing… Experts aren’t predicting mortgage rates making any huge moves next year, but home prices are expected to rise. Waiting for the “perfect” conditions could mean missing out on opportunities in front of you today.

🏡 Homeownership could be closer than you think! Mortgage programs today make it more attainable, like putting less than 20% down thanks to the help of mortgage insurance or getting down payment assistance. If you’re almost there but not quite, consider asking for a gift that keeps giving this year, like, help with the down payment! Just remember, work with a professional before making any transactions and to create a budget SOONER rather than later to make it all happen!

If you have any questions, I’m here to help!🫶🏼

December Market Update 🏡

Interest rates have been moving up and down this month, reacting to new economic data. The November Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, which measures changes in the price of goods and services, showed overall inflation rose 0.3%—just slightly above expectations. Year-over-year inflation ticked up from 2.6% to 2.7%, with food prices being a key driver behind this increase.
It was very optimistic to see rent and owner’s equivalent rent come in at lower figures. If this trend continues, it will make it much easier to make progress on inflation. As we’ve said before, we’ll see more on this in January and February as we head into the new year—coming up fast!
🤩

Inventory & Home Prices🏘️💸

Inventory is improving, but recent reports suggest the national average for home prices is expected to rise in 2025, driven by more buyers than available homes. With demand outpacing supply, now is the time to strategize and stay ahead of the market—especially if rates take any drastic turns.

Homebuyers✨

Rates aren’t expected to change much in 2025, and with home prices still rising, now is the time to explore your homeownership options. At Silverton, we’re always looking for ways to make homeownership more attainable, whether you’re ready to buy now or need a plan to get there. Creating a budget is key, and there’s no better time to start than now.

➡️Let’s talk about your goals and create a strategy to make them happen. Send me a message to get started!💌

🎁 The Gift That Keeps on Giving

Helping a loved one attain homeownership this season also means giving them the chance to start building equity and investing in their future. It’s a lasting gift they’ll thank you for forever!

Gift funds, which are contributions from family or close friends to help with down payments or closing costs, can make homeownership more attainable without the burden of repayment. However, everything about gift funds—who can give them, how much can be gifted, and how they need to be documented—depends on your specific loan program and personal scenario. That’s why it’s so important to connect with a lender before making any transactions. We’re here to answer all your questions because we’re passionate about helping you and your loved ones achieve the dream of homeownership! 🏡

🏡✨ Your Path to Homeownership Starts Here ✨🏡

Lately, I’ve been passionate about sharing options that make homeownership more attainable, and the Future Income Program is one of my favorites! It’s a game-changer for buyers who are starting a new job or expecting a pay increase.

Here’s why this program is so powerful:
✅ Flexibility: Begin your homeownership journey before your new job even starts.
✅ Confidence: Rest easy knowing your future earnings are factored into the process.
✅ Opportunity: Seize the market now without waiting for months of pay stubs.

With the Future Income Program, buyers can qualify for a mortgage based on a signed offer letter or contract, bypassing the traditional requirement of showing 2-4 months of pay stubs upfront. Within 30 days after closing, all you’ll need is a pay stub to confirm the income used to qualify.

If this doesn’t sound like the right fit for you, don’t worry—there are plenty of other options to explore. Let’s find the one that’s perfect for your journey to homeownership!
