Why a Condo May Be a Great Option for Your First Home Having a hard time finding a first home that's right for you and your wallet? Well, here's a tip – think about condominiums, or condos for short. They're usually smaller than single-family homes, but that's exactly why they can be easier on your budget. So, if you're comfortable with a smaller space and want to buy your first home this year, adding condos to your search might be easier on your wallet. Besides giving you more options for your home search and maybe fitting your budget better, living in a condo has a bunch of other perks, too. According to Rocket Mortgage: “From community living to walkable urban areas, condos are great options for first-time home buyers and people looking to enjoy homeownership without extensive upkeep.” Let’s dive into a few of the draws of condos for first-time buyers from Bankrate: • They require less maintenance. • They allow you to start building equity. • They often come with added amenities. • They provide you with a sense of community. Remember, your first home doesn't have to be the one you stay in forever. The important thing is to get your foot in the door as a homeowner so you can start to gain home equity. Later on, that equity can help you buy another place if you need something different. Ultimately, owning and living in a condo is a lifestyle choice. And if it’s one that appeals to you, they could provide the added options you need in today’s market. It might be a good idea to think about condos in your home search. If you're ready to see what's out there, let's get in touch today. #firsttimehomebuyer #opportunity #ARCrealty #transactionsREdefined

Thinking of Selling? You Want an Agent with These Skills Selling your house is a big decision. That’s where a good listing agent, also known as a seller's agent, comes in. Here are just a few skills you’ll want your agent to have. The Ability To Turn Something Complex into Something Simple Some agents are going to use big, fancy real estate terms to try and impress you. But you shouldn’t have to know all the industry jargon in order to understand what they’re saying. If anything, it's an agent’s job to keep it simple, so you don’t get overwhelmed or confused. A great agent is going to be someone who is very good at explaining what’s happening in the housing market in a way that’s easy to understand. A Data-Based Approach on How To Price Your House While it may be tempting to pick the agent who suggests the highest asking price for your house, that strategy may cost you. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement when you see a bigger number, but overpricing your house can have consequences. It could mean your house will sit on the market longer because the higher price is actually turning away buyers. A Fair, but Objective Negotiator The home-selling process can be emotional, especially if you’ve been in your house for a long time. But that sentimental tie can make it harder to be objective during negotiations. That’s where a trusted professional can really make a difference. Whether you're a first-time seller or you’ve been through this before, a great listing agent is the key to your success. Let’s connect so you have a skilled local expert by your side to guide you through every step of the process. #sellyourhouse #justsold #ARCrealty #transactionsREdefined

Tired of wondering what working with a lender is like? Pffft. I can help. When I talk to future buyers, I often get the impression that they’re scared to talk to a lender. So I let them in on a little secret: lenders WANT to give you a loan! Lenders WANT to get you approved because it’s what puts food on the table for them!! They aren’t intimidating and they aren’t judgemental. They truly want to help you! (I happen to know a lot of great lenders, btw, if you need recommendations!) Now that we got that cleared up, let’s look at a few things lenders consider when helping you apply for a mortgage. Credit Score: According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the average credit score for mortgage applicants is 770, but they can range from 300-850! Debt Amount: The less available credit amount you’re using, the better. Lenders can guide you on this if needed!! Payment History: Lenders want to see that you make your payments on time! Credit Applications: Don’t continue to apply for credit once you start the process! (This is why I remind buyers not to take out a loan for a car or even appliances until AFTER closing!) Once a lender has all this information, he or she will walk you through your options! A good lender will *never* say, “Sorry, can’t help you!” But instead they will explain your options, give you tips on how to make any improvements, and continue to be a resource for you! #themoreyouknow #forsaletosoldwithstevie #arcrealty #lenders #whattoknowaboutloans #loaninfo #homeloan #homebuyingtips #bham #birminghamalrealestate #realtor #bhamrealtor

Home Prices Are Climbing in These Top Cities Thinking about buying a home or selling your current one to find a better fit? If so, you might be wondering what's going on with home prices these days. Here's the scoop. Home prices were rising for most of 2023. But over the course of December and January, they were virtually flat – which is pretty normal for that time of year. But here's what you need to know now. As of February, when the spring market kicked off, prices were on the rise again. Home Prices Are Going Up in Most of America's Top Cities After seeing a jump in home prices nationally in February, you might be wondering if they’re going up in your area, too. While it depends on where you live, prices are rising in 18 of the top 20 cities Case-Shiller reports on in the monthly price index. Most experts also think home prices will keep rising and end the year on a high note. Forbes explains why: “Even as mortgage rates have reached their highest level since November, persistent demand coupled with limited housing supply are key drivers pushing home values upward.” How This Impacts You • For Buyers: If you’re ready, willing, and able to buy a home, purchasing before prices go up even more might be a smart choice, since home values are expected to keep climbing. • For Sellers: Prices are going up because there still aren’t enough homes available for sale right now compared to today’s buyer demand. So, if you work with an agent to price your house right, you might receive multiple offers and sell quickly. The data shows home prices are increasing nationally. Let's chat to see exactly what’s going on with prices in our neighborhood. #realestatetipsoftheday #ARCrealty #transactionsREdefined

POV: The home improvement projects have been checked off, one by one. You’ve decluttered and deep cleaned your home and it has literally never looked better. 🤩 And now the photographer is coming over so you can get pictures taken and officially list your home. There’s only one last thing to do, and it could be the thing that gets the right buyer to schedule a showing. Add a splash of lifestyle staging 💫 What does this mean? It’s actually a lot less complicated than you may think! Lifestyle staging is intentionally adding a few props that showcase the kind of life a buyer could experience in your home. (Swipe to see examples!) Of course, you don’t have to do ALL of these, but adding a few lifestyle touches throughout your home will prompt more future buyers to scroll your photos and think to themselves, “I could totally live there.” Basically, think of your photos less as listing photos and more as Airbnb getaway photos and you’ll be on the right track! And guess what? When you work with me, you don’t have to worry about the lifestyle marketing! I take care of that myself on photo day to make it easy for you! If you were listing your house today, what room would you want to showcase? Tell me below and I’ll tell you what props I’d use! #forsaletosoldwithstevie #stagingtips #lifestylemarketing #yournotjustsellingahouse #yoursellingalifestyle #listingagent #realtorlife #bham #bhamnow #birminghamalabama #themagiccity #letssellahouse #realestate #arcrealty

The Top 2 Reasons To Consider a Newly Built Home When you’re planning a move, it’s normal to wonder where you’ll end up and what your future home is going to look like. But unless you came into this process knowing you want to buy a newly built home, you may not have pictured new home construction. 1. Adding Newly Built Homes Could Give You More Options There are two types of homes on the market: new and existing. A newly built home refers to a house that was just built or is under construction. An existing home is one a previous homeowner has already lived in. Right now, the inventory of existing homes is tight. But there may be options for you on the new home side of things. 2. Newly Built Homes May Be More Affordable Than You’d Think You may still be wondering if a new build could really be an option for you. If you’ve previously written them off because you thought they would be out of your budget, consider this. The price gap between a newly built home and an existing house is shrinking. Just know that buying a newly built home isn’t the same as buying an existing one. Builder contracts have different fine print. So, partner with a local agent who knows the market, builder reputations, and what to look for in those contracts so you have an expert on your side to help you explore this option. If you want to find out what builders are doing in our area, DM me and check it out together. And if you’re willing to cast a wider net to open up your options even more, we can talk about broadening your search to include other towns nearby. #firsttimehomebuyer #starterhome #ARCrealty #transactionsREdefined

How Buying or Selling a Home Benefits Your Community If you're thinking of buying or selling a house, it's important to know it doesn't just impact you—it helps out the local economy and your community, too. When a house is sold, it really boosts the local economy. That’s because of all the people needed to build, fix up, and sell homes. Robert Dietz, Chief Economist at the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), explains how the housing industry adds jobs to a community: “. . . housing is a significant job creator. In fact, for every single-family home built, enough economic activity is generated to sustain three full-time jobs for a year . . .” It makes sense that housing creates a lot of jobs because so many different kinds of work are involved in the industry. Think about all the people involved with selling a house—city officials, contractors, lawyers, real estate agents, specialists, etc. Everyone has a job to do to make your deal go through. So, each transaction is a big help to those who work and live in your community. Put simply, when you buy or sell a home, you’re helping out your neighbors. So, when you decide to move, you're not just meeting your own needs—you're also doing something good for your community. Just knowing your move helps so many people around you can give you a sense of empowerment as you make your decision this year. Every time a home is sold, it really helps out the local economy. If you’re ready to move, let’s get in touch. It won’t just change your life—it’ll also do a lot of good for the whole community. #realestatetipsoftheday #ARCrealty #transactionsREdefined

Tips for Younger Homebuyers: How To Make Your Dream a Reality If you’re a member of a younger generation, like Gen Z, you may be asking the question: will I ever be able to buy a home? Here are some helpful tips you may get from a pro. 1. Explore Your Options for a Down Payment If a down payment is your #1 hurdle, you may have options to give your savings a boost. There are over 2,000 down payment assistance programs designed to make homeownership more achievable. And chances are you won’t need to put 20% down (unless specified by your loan type or lender). 2. Live with Loved Ones To Boost Your Savings Another thing a number of Gen Z buyers are doing is ditching their rental and moving back in with friends or family. This can help cut down your housing costs so you can build your savings a whole lot faster. 3. Cast a Broad Net for Your Search When you’ve saved up enough, here’s how a pro will help you approach your search. Since the supply of homes for sale is still low and affordability is tight, they’ll give you strategies and avenues you may not have considered to open up your pool of options. 4. Take a Close Look at Your Wants and Needs And lastly, an agent can help you really think about your must-have’s and nice-to-have’s. Remember, your first home doesn’t have to be your forever home. You just need to get your foot in the door to start building equity. If you want to buy, you may find making some compromises is worth it. Real estate professionals have expertise on what’s working for other buyers like you. Lean on them for tips and advice along the way. Let’s connect to get you set up for long-term success. #firsttimehomebuyer #opportunity #ARCrealty #transactionsREdefined
