What To Know About Credit Scores Before Buying a HomeIf you want to buy a home, you should know your credit score is a critical piece of the puzzle when it comes to qualifying for a mortgage. Lenders review your credit to see if you typically make payments on time, pay back debts, and more. Your credit score can also help determine your mortgage rate.

So, when you’re house shopping, it’s important to know where your credit stands and how to use it to get the best mortgage rate possible.” That means your credit score may feel even more important to your homebuying plans right now since mortgage rates are a key factor in affordability.

In recent years, there has been a trend of Californians moving out of the state and heading east to Arizona. This phenomenon, often referred to as 'Californians ditching the state for Arizona,' has been gaining attention and sparking discussions among both Californians and Arizonans.So why are Californians leaving their beloved state and choosing to make Arizona their new home? There are several factors at play.One of the main reasons for this trend is the high cost of living in California. The state has consistently been ranked as one of the most expensive places to live in the country. The cost of housing, in particular, has skyrocketed in recent years, making it difficult for many Californians to afford a comfortable lifestyle.

- January 2024 Scottsdale Housing Market Video - Here is a less-than-a-minute video overview of the Scottsdale, Arizona single-family home real estate market that covers the month of January. January 2024 - Video Scottsdale Active Listings With the beginning of the new year, we saw a nice jump in the number of homes for sale in Scottsdale. Inventory was up 18% over December. This is good news for buyers since we are still below normal levels. The number of homes for sale was also up compared to the same time in 2023. Average List Price for Scottsdale Homes I used to use median list price data, but I no longer have access to that information. As a replacement, we will use the average list price.

Are you unsure about whether to sell your house? Even though affordability has improved this year, it's still a bit tight, and that might be something you're concerned about. However, understanding your home equity could make your decision easier. According to an article from Bankrate:“Home equity is the difference between the value of your home and the amount you still owe on your mortgage. It represents the portion of your home that is paid off.”When you make your down payment to buy the home, you start with a certain level of equity, and it continues to grow as you pay down your mortgage. Additionally, your equity also increases over time as the value of your home goes up. Think of equity as a simple math equation: the value of your home minus what you owe on your mortgage.How to Mak...
