Online estimates like Zillow, realtor.com, Redfin, and Homes.com are convenient, but they typically lack accuracy and may have a significant margin of error. They are constructed using a computer-generated algorithm called an Automated Value Model (AVM) that utilizes historical public sales data and trends.National AVMs derive values from automated computer modeling of public records and may not reflect a home's actual value due to the nuances of local markets.  An experienced agent familiar with home sales in the area takes several steps to arrive at a more accurate fair market value.Real estate agents provide invaluable expertise by leveraging their deep understanding of local market conditions. This includes insights into neighborhood trends, recent sales data, and current inventory ...

  Home insurance rates increased by almost 20% nationally between 2021 and 2023 and even more in some states, like Arizona, where rates have jumped 62% in some cases.  The appreciation homeowners have enjoyed, especially in the past four years, has caused premiums to increase because the values are higher.  In addition, inflation affects insurance due to the increased cost of labor and building materials used to calculate the replacement cost of the dwelling. Natural disasters, especially in coastal areas, tornados, fires, and hail are just a few of the things for which insurers have paid considerable claims and are driving premiums higher. Some insurers are pulling out of high-risk areas, making it difficult for homeowners to find coverage and reasonable prices. There are several thing...

A seller’s concession can be a valuable benefit for homebuyers, especially when closing costs or upfront expenses are a concern. By offering a concession, the seller agrees to cover certain costs, such as repairs or a portion of the closing fees, reducing the buyer's immediate financial burden. This makes purchasing a home more affordable, particularly for first-time buyers with limited cash reserves. Additionally, concessions can help the seller close the deal faster, making the property more attractive in a competitive market while allowing the buyer to move into their new home with fewer out-of-pocket expenses.Bottom Line: "We 'R' The Realtors For That."

The median cost of housing for both U.S. renters and homeowners rose last year, and while the share of income renters put toward housing was unchanged overall, the Census Bureau said on Thursday that the degree to which households were cost-burdened varied by race.In 2023, more than 21 million renter households spent more than 30% of their income on housing costs, representing 49.7% of the renter households for whom the rent burden is calculated. Despite the jump in rental costs, the share of renter income spent on rent and utilities stayed at 31.0% at the median last year, unchanged from 2022. This indicates that renter household incomes kept pace with the rent increases. The Census Bureau said this may also be due to higher-income households becoming renters. Within Black or African A...
