The Market and The Pandemic...

The growing pandemic has officially affected the real estate market which had been still performing well despite the growing pandemic. April 2020 showed a huge decline in sales posting 3,855 sales which reflects a 26% decline in sales from the previous year. 

Average days on market increased by 9 days to 29. Homes did appreciate slightly, however more sales posted reflected a price reduction to get the home under contract. 

We maintained 7 weeks of inventory vs. this time last year. Many sellers have pulled their home off the market and elected to list again in a few weeks.

Your Essential Spring Lawn Care Guide
decorative image

Obey the one-third rule Tired of looking out the window at your dull, dormant lawn? A little prep now will give you a green lawn all summer long.

Rake
First things first, gently rake leaves, twigs, and dead grass off your lawn, and remove snow mold if you live in colder climates. This allows air and sunlight to reach down to the grass roots. Avoid power-raking, as hacking away at the ground can damage shallow grasses and good soil.

Weed
Weeds like dandelions, hairy bittercress, common chickweed, and henbit go dormant in winter and re-emerge in the spring. For best results, pull as many weeds as possible by hand or use a hoe. Be sure to get the entire plant, roots and all. If you use a pre-emergent weed killer, make sure it’s a calm day. Wind can spread the chemicals onto plants you don’t want to kill and into waterways you don’t want to pollute.

First Time Home Buyers Paperwork To Secure a Mortgage

Paperwork is sometimes the roadblock that stands between first time home buyers and their first house. Taking the fear of the unknown out of the equation can smooth out the process. Start gathering documents now, such as:

  • 3 months' bank statement
  • Gift letter; donor's bank statement; copy of gift check; copy of deposit receipt
  • Explanations for late payments; credit inquiries in the last 90 days; charge-offs; collections; judgments; liens
  • Bankruptcy papers within 7 years
  • Copy of Social Security Card and driver's license
  • Last 2 years' W2 forms
  • Pay stubs
  • Last 2 years' 1040s if self-employed; interest income
  • Y-T-D P&L Statement is self-employed
  • Corporate or Partnership tax returns (if you own more than 25% of a business)
  • Copy of purchase agreement (if you have already made an offer)
  • Receipt for child support payments

Buying Single - Is it for You?
decorative image

There was a time when buying a home as a single person was nearly unheard of, but that trend has been changing. In 2018, single home-owners made up 38.4% of owner-occupied housing stock - a 118 year high according to an analysis of Census Bureau data. Additionally, according to the National Association of Realtors, single individuals made up 25% of home sales in 2019.

Congrats queen, you're a homeowner!

Zero-in on millennials, and the data is even more eye-popping. "At a time when a lot of young adults are postponing marriage, the number of Americans buying a house on a single income is substantial," says Investopedia. Ellie Mae says that "as many as 47% of millennial home buyers last year were unmarried."

If you're considering buying while single, here are a couple things to think about.
