Buying a house is one of the biggest things you might do in your life. The final step in the process is typically the closing. Once you reach this point, it can be a relief because you’ve through the arduous underwriting process, but what should you expect when you’re closing on a house?
When you’re a homeowner, one of your challenges is dealing with the unexpected. Unlike being a renter, you’re responsible for dealing with emergencies and repairs when you own a home. It can be costly, time-consuming, and stressful.
As the weather warms up, more families are starting to look forward to getting outside of the home to have some fun or just relax in the sun. And while a vacation may seem like the ultimate goal, most people find that by creating a better outdoor living area, they can have even more fun “homecationing” in their own yards.
If you’re moving to an urban area, or you currently live in one, and you’re in the process of finding a new home, you’re likely to come across the term cooperative housing, or more frequently, co-op. A co-op is a type of homeownership structure that’s most common in large real estate markets.
Freddie Mac's results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® shows that "The combination of swift home price growth and the fastest mortgage rate increase in over forty years is finally affecting purchase demand. homebuyers navigating the current environment are coping in a variety of ways, including switching to adjustable-rate mortgages, moving away from expensive coastal cities, and looking to more affordable suburbs. We expect the decline in demand to soften home price growth to a more sustainable pace later this year."
