davenportmeghan+FollowHow Much Are You Saving on Your Mortgage?Thinking about buying a home or already paying off one? Good news: mortgage rates have dipped, putting about $1,600 a year back in homeowners’ pockets. That’s like a free coffee every day!

If you’re house hunting, use this to your advantage: don’t be afraid to negotiate or walk away if the deal isn’t right! #RealEstate #HomeBuying #MoneyTips00Share

randerson+FollowWhy New Homes Might Get Cheaper SoonHeads up if you’re house-hunting or just nosy about real estate: demand for land to build new homes has dropped big time.

If you’re dreaming of a new build, this could mean fewer choices for now—but maybe better deals down the road if prices fall. Keep an eye out! #RealEstate #HomeBuying #MarketTrends236Share
