Happy New Year! Kick off 2016 with these three real estate New Years resolutions:
- If you’ve been thinking about buying your first home, or entering the world of real estate investing with purchasing a rental property, this just may be the year! We anticipate a greater number of first time buyers entering the market in 2016, due to greater affordability with the improving job market and continued low mortgage rates. Plus, the national shortage of rental homes and apartments (rental prices are at a record high!) has enticed more and more investors to expand their portfolio and purchase another property.
2. Have you been considering a career change or an opportunity for additional income? EveryHome is always looking for friendly, local, and helpful individuals to join our team! Interested in learning more about this opportunity? Read more about what it’s like to be an EveryHome agent, or give Katie a call at (215) 699-5555. (Pssst.. if you’re not yet a licensed agent, be sure to read about what to expect in real estate school here.)
3. If you already own a home, consider refinancing sooner rather than later. Refinancing your home allows homeowners to change the terms of their loan (often resulting in a lower interest rate, and subsequently a lower monthly payment!). Not everybody is eligible to refinance their loan, so be sure to check with your lender.
