Closing costs are an important part of buying a home, but they can catch buyers off guard if they aren’t planned for in advance. These costs typically range from 2% to 6% of the loan amount and cover things like lender fees, title insurance and prepaid property taxes.

Here’s what to expect:
• Loan Fees — Includes origination fees, underwriting and points if you choose to buy down your rate.
• Title & Escrow Costs — Covers the title search, title insurance and settlement fees.
• Prepaid Expenses — Property taxes, homeowners insurance and interest paid upfront at closing.
• Appraisal & Inspection Fees — Essential for assessing the home’s value and condition.

Before you finalize your home purchase, make sure you know how much to set aside. If you need a breakdown of what your closing costs might look like, let’s talk. Message us to get started! 📲

Home affordability is about more than just the price of a house. It involves the full financial picture and what fits within your budget. If you're planning to buy, here are a few key factors that can impact what you can afford:

• Interest Rates — Even a small change in rates can affect your monthly payment.
• Down Payment — A larger down payment can lower your loan amount and may reduce mortgage insurance costs.
• Credit Score — Higher scores can help you qualify for better loan terms and lower interest rates.
• Debt-to-Income Ratio — Lenders look at your monthly debt compared to your income to determine how much you can borrow.
• Property Taxes & Insurance — These costs vary by location and should be factored into your budget.

Understanding these factors can help you make smart financial decisions before you buy. If you want an idea of what you can afford, try our free home affordability calculator. Comment below and we'll send you the link!

Thinking about an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)? Here’s what you need to know!

An ARM offers a lower introductory interest rate for a set period, such as 3, 7 or 15 years, before adjusting based on market rates at set intervals.
This can be a great option if:

• You plan to move or refinance before the fixed-rate period ends
• You want lower initial payments compared to a traditional fixed-rate mortgage
• You’re comfortable with potential rate adjustments in the future

An ARM can be a smart way to save money upfront while keeping your options open.
