How Remote Work Helps with Your House Hunt [INFOGRAPHIC]

While remote work peaked during the pandemic, many people still work from home today.
If you’re one of them, it could have an unexpected benefit when you’re looking to buy a home.
If you can work from home, you might have more choices for where to live. Connect with a real estate agent to talk about your options and what’s most important to you.

Holding off on selling your house because you believe there aren’t any buyers out there?
Data shows buyers are still active, even with higher mortgage rates. This goes to show, people still want to buy homes, and those who can are moving now.
Don’t delay your plan to sell for fear no one is buying. The opposite is true and buyer traffic is still strong today. Connect with a real estate agent to get your house in front of these buyers.

Last year, some housing experts projected a decline in home prices by the end of 2023. But that didn’t happen – inventory was just too low.
While it’s normal for experts to re-forecast throughout the year, the good news for 2023 is that prices are no longer projected to decrease.
Connect with your trusted real estate agent to find out what’s happening with home values in your local area.

Your equity grows as you pay down your home loan and as home prices increase. With home prices rising again, your equity is getting an extra boost.
Almost half of homeowners are equity rich because they have at least 50% equity in their homes. If you’ve been in your home for a while, you might have gained a considerable amount of equity, too.
Want to find out how much equity you have? Connect with a trusted real estate agent for a Professional Equity Assessment Report (PEAR).

There are only about half the number of homes for sale compared to the last normal years in the market.
That means buyers don’t have enough options right now. So, if you work with an agent to list your house, it should be in the spotlight.
If you’re thinking of selling, get in touch with a local real estate agent so your house can stand out while there’s such a shortage of supply and buyers are craving more options.

With ongoing high inflation pushing up everyday costs, some people are worried that’ll create a flood of foreclosures. Here’s why that’s unlikely.
Fewer people are seriously behind on mortgage payments right now. If foreclosures were going to rise a lot, more people would need to be late on their payments.
Since most are paying on time, a wave isn’t coming. If you’re concerned about a flood of foreclosures, the data shows that’s not likely.
