Aaron Ballard+FollowBrooklyn Homes Almost Hit $1M—What Now?Brooklyn’s median home price is now just $5,000 shy of $1 million, which means more buyers could soon get hit with NYC’s mansion tax—even if their place isn’t exactly a palace. Homes are selling faster, but there’s drama over how long listings sit on the market, thanks to new private listing tactics. If you’re house-hunting, watch out for sneaky extra fees once you cross that million-dollar line! #RealEstate #BrooklynRealEstate #HomeBuying00Share
megan01+FollowWhy Home Loans Are Getting a MakeoverEver wonder why it's so hard to find a new house these days? Turns out, big investment firms like Pretium are stepping in with $1 billion in loans to help smaller builders put up more homes—because regular banks are getting cold feet. So, if you’re house hunting, this could mean more options (and maybe less bidding war madness) in the near future. Private money is changing the home-buying game! #RealEstate #HomeBuying #MoneyHacks10Share
Brian Sanchez+FollowWhy Are Home Listings Disappearing?Ever notice fewer 'For Sale' signs lately? Homeowners are yanking their listings because buyers aren’t biting at sky-high prices. In places like Phoenix and Miami, sellers would rather wait than settle for less. If you’re house-hunting, you might see more options, but don’t expect a bargain—sellers are holding out for their dream price. The takeaway? Patience is the new power move, whether you’re buying or selling. #RealEstate #HousingMarket #HomeBuying00Share
Brian Sanchez+FollowIs Your Mortgage About to Jump?Heads up, homeowners: if your fixed-rate mortgage deal is ending soon, you might see your monthly payments go up by about £107. Even though some banks are offering better rates lately, many people will still end up paying more when they remortgage. On the bright side, the rules are loosening up a bit, so it could get easier for first-time buyers to get a mortgage—even if your income isn’t sky-high. The days of relying on the Bank of Mum and Dad might be numbered, so it’s worth checking your options now! #RealEstate #MortgageTips #HomeBuying51Share
Shelly Powell+FollowVegas Home Prices Hit Highs, But Who’s Buying?So, Vegas home prices are back at record highs, but here’s the twist: way more houses are sitting unsold. If you’re house-hunting, you’ve got more options to scroll through, and sellers might have to get real about their asking prices. Basically, it’s a window-shopping paradise for buyers, but sellers might need to sweeten the deal to get noticed. If you’re thinking of making a move, now’s the time to bargain! #RealEstate #LasVegasRealEstate #HomeBuying61Share

Brian Sanchez+FollowWhy Are Investors Buying All the Houses?Ever wonder why it feels impossible to buy a house lately? Turns out, nearly 1 in 4 homes sold this year went to investors, not families. With sky-high prices and mortgage rates, regular buyers are getting squeezed out, while investors—especially those with cash—are scooping up deals. If you’re house hunting, you’re not just competing with other families, but also with folks looking to rent or flip homes. Maybe it’s time to rethink your homebuying strategy or consider renting until things cool off! #RealEstate #HomeBuying #Investing3567Share
Aaron Ballard+FollowPittsburgh Homes: Who’s Buying, Who’s Selling?Did you see all the homes changing hands in Pittsburgh’s eastern ‘burbs last week? From cozy spots under $100K to a few big-ticket deals over $600K, there’s something for every budget. The real eye-opener: more investment companies are scooping up properties, so if you’re house-hunting, you might find yourself bidding against a landlord. If you’re thinking of selling, now’s a good time—buyers are everywhere! #RealEstate #PittsburghRealEstate #HomeBuying00Share
Aaron Ballard+FollowCould Climate Wreck Your Mortgage?Did you know that wild weather could mess with your mortgage? A new report says climate disasters like floods and fires are making it harder for folks to keep or even get a home loan. Insurance is getting pricier, and some companies are ditching risky areas altogether. That means if your house gets hit, you might be on the hook—and if enough people default, it could shake up the whole housing market. Maybe time to check your coverage and think twice before buying in flood zones! #RealEstate #HomeBuying #ClimateRisk00Share
Shelly Powell+FollowHomebuyer Math: Why You Need a Big RaiseThinking about buying a house? Zillow says you’ll need a $17K raise just to afford a typical home these days. That’s on top of already having a hefty down payment saved up. In places like San Jose, you’d need a $250K salary bump—yikes! If you’re house hunting, look to the Midwest, where your paycheck stretches further. For now, it’s less about skipping lattes and more about finding a city where your money actually works for you. #RealEstate #HomeBuying #MoneyTalks00Share
