What’syourhome reallyworthin today’smarket?
That's the question you should be asking yourself.
Our market is incredibly diverse and rapidly changing. Values vary not just by neighborhood but by street. Your home isn't necessarily worth what your neighbors' home is. It's the current market that sets the value of your home.
So, do you know what your home is worth in today's market?

Finding the right home is one of the biggest challenges for potential buyers today. Right now, the supply of homes for sale is still low. But there is a bright spot. Newly built homes make up a larger percent of the total homes available for sale than normal. That’s why, if you’re craving more options, it makes sense to see if a newly built home is right for you.
But it’s important to remember the process of working with a builder is different than buying from a homeowner. And, while builders typically have sales agents on-site, having your own agent helps make sure you have proper representation throughout your homebuying journey. As Realtor.com says:
“Keep in mind that the on-site agent you meet at a new-construction office works for the builder. So, as the homebuyer, it’s a smart idea to bring in your own agent, as well, to help you negotiate and stay protected in the transaction.”
Here’s how having your own agent is key when you build or buy a new construction home.
WHAT ARE PREPAID COSTS
WHEN BUYING A HOME?
Embarking on the journey of homeownership brings both excitement and unexpected costs. Closing fees, down payments, and more can catch you off guard. American Home Shield is here to break down the upfront expenses and help you navigate the homebuying process confidently.
Unraveling the mystery of prepaid costs in home buying! These serve as a safety net for lenders, covering taxes, interest, and insurance. Here's a breakdown:
1
2
Prepaid interest on a mortgage:
Pay interest from closing to month-end. Opt for a month-end closing to minimize this cost.
Prepaid property taxes at closing:
Sellers settle their owed taxes at closing, and you prepay from your escrow account.
3
4
Prepaid homeowners insurance at closing:
Cover one year in advance, ensuring your lender that potential damages will be addressed.
Initial escrow payment at closing:
Acts as a deposit (earnest money) for future insurance or tax payments, showing commitment to the purchase.
While it might seem complex, prepaid costs are expenses you'd pay anyhow. They ease the burden on buyers by handling crucial payments, streamlining the process and leaving you with fewer tasks on your homeowner checklist
