Scary Myths About Today’s Housing Market

 

Here’s what you really need to know about a few myths causing fear in today’s housing market!

 

1. MYTH: If I have student loan debt, I can’t buy a home.

  • FACT: Many people can still buy a home, even if they have student loans. “….buying a home with student loans is possible, experts say. the proof is in the numbers, too: Some 40% of first-time homebuyers have student loan debt, according to the NAR study.” – Apartment Therapy.

 

2. MYTH: Home prices were going to crash in 2023.

  • FACT: The data proves, nationally, home prices are not crashing. They’re actually rising again after only a slight dip.

 

3. MYTH: I have to put 20% down when I buy a home. 

  • FACT: You usually don’t have to save 20% for a down payment, unless specified by your loan type or lender. According to NAR, the median down payment is lower than that.

A skilled listing agent excels in negotiations, offering you peace of mind during this crucial phase. They will represent your best interests and guide you through the process.

3️⃣ Strong Problem-Solver: A skilled listing agent’s primary goal is to sell your home. They will prioritize your needs and openly discuss any necessary steps. Your success is their priority, and they’ll collaborate with you to overcome any challenges that may arise.
