Even though mortgage rates dipped below 5% this past week, they’re still higher than they were just a few short months ago. This has priced some home buyers out of the market, and caused others to take a wait-and-see approach, hoping for rates to drop back down to historically low levels. It’s understandable why current buyers would want to hope and wait, but it’s impossible to say if rates will ever go back down to the 2% or 3% range, let alone soon. But if they do, it’s not likely to happen in the next few weeks or months, so the decision buyers have to make boils down to whether or not they’re willing to potentially wait years to buy a house. That said, based upon this Market Watch article, buyers could inadvertently be costing themselves more money by waiting for rates to come down...

With the COVID-19 pandemic causing uncertainty in the economy and housing market, some Farmington Hills home sellers are asking themselves: “should I sell my home right now or should I wait?”  Some sellers are choosing to wait it out in hopes that the situation will improve in the coming months.Not everyone, however, has the luxury to take the wait-and-see approach due to job relocation,  growing family needs, facing a different financial situation, or some other personal reason. Although selling a home now and in the near future is going to look a lot different than it did only a few months ago, people haven’t stopped selling houses altogether and real estate transactions are still moving forward. Many sellers are still listing their homes, and buyers are still buying them.In late Marc...

Deep down, we all want to be appreciated—and real estate agents are no exception. Underneath our name tags and professional attire, agents are regular people just like you. So, while you may not have any idea what it’s like to be an agent, you can totally appreciate what it’s like to feel unappreciated… So, on behalf of agents everywhere, let’s get into some common misconceptions that cause agents to feel unappreciated, and help you get the most out of your relationship with one. 1. The Internet makes what we do seem easy For many years, it was practically impossible for a non-agent to access the kind of information readily available on the Internet nowadays. ...

You are probably wondering why you need an energy audit for your home for sale in Farmington Hills, Michigan.Well, imagine getting an offer for your house with the buyer paying the exact asking price. You had a home inspection done and the report came back clean. As a good gesture, you included insurance for the appliances and agreed to pay for repairs for the next year. Fast forward two months and the house is sold. A few months later, you get a call from the owner that the HVAC system is not working properly. Upon their inspection, the new homeowner found out the duct has inadequate insulation, which is causing warm air to escape. Since you had promised them insurance for repairs, you need to get the duct work changed.While the home inspector may be at fault here, it’s you who are sup...
