Lenoirtag:davidlenoirhomes.com,2012-09-20:6922Expert Home Price Forecasts for 2024 Revised Up
<img src="https://files.keepingcurrentmatters.com/KeepingCurrentMatters/content/images/20240220/Header-Image-20220524-Blog.png" width="600" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />
Over the past few months, experts have revised their 2024 home price <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/23/experts-project-home-prices-will-increase-in-2024/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">forecasts</a> based on the latest data and market signals, and they’re even more confident prices will rise, not fall.
So, let’s see exactly how experts’ thinking has shifted – and what’s caused the change.
2024 Home Price Forecasts: Then and Now
The chart below <a href="https://www.goldmansachs.com/intelligence/pages/us-home-prices-forecast-to-climb-as-mortgage-rates-fall-in-2024.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">shows</a> what seven expert organizations <a href="https://www.mba.org/news-and-research/forecasts-and-commentary/mortgage-finance-forecast-archives" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">think</a> will happen to home <a href="https://www.zillow.com/research/2024-housing-predictions-33447" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">prices</a> in 2024. It compares their first 2024 home price <a href="https://www.fanniemae.com/media/50096/display" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">forecasts</a> (made at the end of 2023) with their newest <a href="https://www.freddiemac.com/research/forecast/20240122-us-economy-continues-expand" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">projections</a>:
<a href="https://files.keepingcurrentmatters.com/KeepingCurrentMatters/content/images/20240220/20240222-2024-Home-Price-Forecasts.png" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img src="https://files.keepingcurrentmatters.com/KeepingCurrentMatters/content/images/20240220/20240222-2024-Home-Price-Forecasts.png" alt="a blue and white graph with text" /></a>
The middle column shows that, at first, these <a href="https://www.fanniemae.com/research-and-insights/surveys-indices/home-price-expectations-survey-hpes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">experts</a> thought home prices would only go up a little this year. But if you look at the column on the right, you'll see they've all updated their <a href="https://cdn.nar.realtor/sites/default/files/documents/forecast-q1-2024-us-economic-outlook-01-26-2024.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">forecasts</a> and now think prices will go up more than they originally thought. And some of the differences are major.
There are two big factors keeping such strong upward pressure on home prices. The first is how few homes are for sale right now. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/housing-market-predictions-2024" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">According</a> to Business Insider:
“Low home inventory is a chronic problem in the US. This has generally kept home prices up . . .”
A lack of housing inventory has been pushing <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/02/15/dont-let-the-latest-home-price-headlines-confuse-you/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">prices</a> up for a long time now – and that’s not expected to change dramatically this year. But what has changed a bit is <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/02/12/whats-really-happening-with-mortgage-rates/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mortgage rates</a>.
Late last year when most housing market experts were calling for home prices to rise only a little bit in 2024, <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/30/2-of-the-factors-that-impact-mortgage-rates/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mortgage rates</a> were up and buyer demand was more moderate.
Now that rates have come down from their peak last October, and with <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/20/why-mortgage-rates-could-continue-to-decline/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">further declines</a> expected over the course of the year, buyer demand has picked up. That increase in demand, along with an ongoing lack of inventory, is what’s caused the experts to feel the upward pressure on prices will be stronger than they expected a couple months ago.
A Look Forward To Get Ahead of the Next Forecast Revisions
Real estate experts regularly revise their home price forecasts as the housing market shifts. It’s a normal part of their job that ensures their projections are always up-to-date and factor in the latest changes in the housing market.
That means they’ll continue to revise their projections as the housing market changes, just as they’ve always done. How those forecasts change next is anyone’s guess, but pay attention to <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/17/2-reasons-why-todays-mortgage-rate-trend-is-good-for-sellers/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mortgage rates</a>.
If they trend down as the year goes on, as they’re expected to do, that could lead to more buyer demand and even higher home price forecasts.
Basically, it’s all about supply and demand. With supply still so limited, anything that causes demand to go up will likely cause prices to go up, too.
Bottom Line
At first, experts believed <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/12/home-prices-forecast-to-climb-over-the-next-5-years-infographic/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">home prices</a> would only go up a little this year. But now, they've changed their minds and forecast prices will grow even more than they originally thought. Let’s connect so you know what to expect with prices in our area.

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to turn your monthly expenses into a significant investment? Imagine a decision that could potentially multiply your net worth exponentially. This isn't just a dream; it's a reality for homeowners.
Not many are aware, but the stark difference in net worth between homeowners and renters is staggering, with homeowners' net worth being 40 times greater than that of renters. Every month, renters contribute to someone else's financial security, missing out on building their own wealth.
Homeownership is more than securing a living space; it's an investment in your future. Astonishingly, two-thirds of an average person's net worth is tied up in home equity. With home values appreciating annually—Case-Shiller reports a 5.5% increase last year alone, and a 46% increase since 2019—the potential for growing your net worth is immense.
The journey from renting to owning is less daunting than it appears, and it's a crucial step towards financial stability and growth. In our latest video, Rick Waldron, a seasoned mortgage representative from Guaranteed Rate Affinity, and I, David Lenoir of Coldwell Banker Realty, dive deep into the benefits of buying over renting. We discuss how simple the transition can be and how it positions you for a brighter financial future.
Don't let another month slip by investing in someone else's future. Watch our video to discover how you can start investing in yours. Reach out today, and let's craft a buy vs. rent scenario that aligns with your unique financial goals. Your path to homeownership—and a more secure financial future—begins here.

If you're thinking of <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/02/06/houses-are-still-selling-fast/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">selling</a> your house this spring, now is the perfect <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/02/01/dont-wait-until-spring-to-sell-your-house/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">time</a> to start getting it ready. With the market gearing up for its busiest time of year, it'll be important to make sure your house shines bright among the competition.
Here are some valuable tips you can use to get your house <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/22/3-must-dos-when-selling-your-house-in-2024/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">market-ready</a>.
Declutter and Organize
First impressions matter, and if your house is a mess, that can easily turn off potential buyers. Before listing, take the time to declutter and organize each room. Decluttering is about more than just tidying up – it's about creating a sense of space and openness that allows potential buyers to envision themselves living in your home. <a href="https://www.moving.com/tips/how-to-declutter-your-home-before-moving/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">According</a> to Moving.com:
“Decluttering and organizing your space will go a long way in appealing to potential buyers. . . .decluttering will help the buyers see themselves living in your home. Less clutter inside a home also helps a place appear larger and cleaner, which should attract more buyers.”
Deep Clean Your Kitchen and Bathrooms
The kitchen and bathrooms are focal points for many buyers, and often influence their overall opinion of the house. Ensure these spaces dazzle by giving them a thorough deep cleaning. Pay attention to details like scrubbing grout lines, polishing fixtures, and decluttering countertops. A sparkling kitchen and bathroom can leave a lasting positive impression on potential buyers.
Maintain Your Yard
Your home’s exterior is the first thing potential buyers see, so it’s important to make a good impression from the moment they arrive. A well-maintained yard not only enhances curb appeal, but also shows buyers the home has been well taken care of.
Take the time to spruce up your yard by mowing the lawn, trimming bushes, and clearing away any debris or dead plants. Remember, the goal is to create a welcoming environment that entices buyers to step inside and imagine themselves living there. U.S. News <a href="https://realestate.usnews.com/real-estate/articles/easy-ways-to-add-curb-appeal-to-your-home-this-fall" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">says</a>:
“A beautifully landscaped front yard can elevate an ordinary house into a charming home and will help homes sell faster and for more money.”
Find a Listing Agent
A skilled <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/29/the-benefits-of-working-with-an-agent-when-you-sell-your-house-infographic/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">listing agent</a> is your partner in minimizing <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/02/things-to-consider-if-your-house-didnt-sell/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">stress</a> when selling your home. Lean on your agent for advice on decluttering, staging, and enhancing your home's appeal to potential buyers. Their insights into market trends and recommendations for reliable contractors and stagers are invaluable. As Realtor.com <a href="https://www.realtor.com/advice/sell/what-should-i-expect-from-my-realtor/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">says</a>:
“A good listing agent will help you price your home . . . recommend a photographer and stager to make it look its best, and put your home on the multiple listing service.”
Bottom Line
By decluttering, deep cleaning, and tidying up your house, you can create a welcoming environment that resonates with buyers and increases your chances of a successful <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/18/why-now-is-still-a-great-time-to-sell-your-house/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">sale</a>.

Are you eager to unlock the doors to your dream home but feel lost in the complexities of the process? Fear not, because David Lenoir and Rick Waldron are here to guide you through the crucial steps towards homeownership.
In their insightful discussion, David and Rick emphasize the significance of obtaining a pre-approval before diving into the housing market frenzy. A pre-approval not only signals to sellers that you're a serious buyer but also provides you with a clear understanding of your financial boundaries, acting as a roadmap tailored to your budget. In today's competitive market, this edge can make all the difference.
Moreover, the duo debunks the pervasive myth surrounding the 20% down payment requirement. Contrary to popular belief, there are various loan programs available with lower down payment options, including FHA and VA loans, making homeownership more attainable than ever for first-time buyers.
Don't let misinformation hold you back from realizing your homeownership dreams. Reach out to a trusted loan officer who can help navigate the process and explore your options.
Remember, homeownership is not just a milestone; it's a crucial step towards building wealth for your future. Take charge of your journey today and unlock the door to your dream home!

From there, they’ll give you a pre-approval letter to help you understand how much money you can borrow. Freddie Mac <a href="https://myhome.freddiemac.com/blog/homebuying/how-do-i-get-pre-approved-mortgage" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">explains</a> it like this:
“A pre-approval is an indication from your lender that they are willing to lend you a certain amount of money to buy your future home. . . . Keep in mind that the loan amount in the pre-approval letter is the lender’s maximum offer. Ultimately, you should only borrow an amount you are comfortable repaying.”
Now, that last piece is especially important. While <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/18/3-key-factors-affecting-home-affordability/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">home affordability</a> is getting better, it’s still tight. So, getting a good idea of what you can borrow can help you really wrap your head around the financial side of things. It doesn’t mean you should borrow the full amount. It just tells you what you can borrow from that lender.
This sets you up to make an informed decision about your numbers. That way you’re able to tailor your <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/11/the-perfect-home-could-be-the-one-you-perfect-after-buying/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">home search</a> to what you’re actually comfortable with budget-wise and can act fast when you find a home you love.
Why Pre-Approval Is So Important in 2024
If you want to buy a home this year, there’s another reason you’re going to want to be sure you’re working with a trusted lender to make this a priority.
While <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/24/are-more-homeowners-selling-as-mortgage-rates-come-down/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">more homes</a> are being listed for sale, the overall number of available homes is still below the norm. At the same time, the recent downward trend in <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/08/what-lower-mortgage-rates-mean-for-your-purchasing-power/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mortgage rates</a> compared to last year is bringing more buyers back into the market. That imbalance of more demand than supply creates a bit of a tug-of-war for you.
It means you’ll likely find you have more competition from other buyers as more and more people who were sitting on the sidelines when mortgage rates were higher decide to jump back in. But pre-approval can help with that too.
Pre-approval shows sellers you mean business because you’ve already undergone a credit and financial check. As Greg McBride, Chief Financial Analyst at Bankrate, <a href="https://www.bankrate.com/mortgages/preapproved-vs-prequalified/#preapproval" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">says</a>:
“Preapproval carries more weight because it means lenders have actually done more than a cursory review of your credit and your finances, but have instead reviewed your pay stubs, tax returns and bank statements. A preapproval means you’ve cleared the hurdles necessary to be approved for a mortgage up to a certain dollar amount.”
Sellers love that because that makes it more likely the sale will move forward without unexpected delays or issues. And if you may be competing with another buyer to land your dream home, why wouldn’t you do this to help stack the deck in your favor?
Bottom Line
If you’re looking to buy a home in 2024, know that getting pre-approved is going to be a key piece of the puzzle. With lower mortgage rates bringing more buyers back into the market, this can help you make a strong offer that stands out from the crowd.

Ever pondered how the nuances of your employment impact your path to buying a home? It's a vibrant new world for independent professionals, from freelancers to contractors, and understanding the mortgage landscape is more crucial than ever.
The mortgage industry has evolved, recognizing that stable income isn't just from nine-to-five employment. For those in independent professions, lenders require evidence of consistent earnings, typically over a two-year period. This criterion assures lenders that you can sustain mortgage commitments.
If you're considering a career shift, time it wisely; transitioning to a new role could pause your mortgage application until you re-establish a reliable income stream.
Income verification stands as a pivotal element in the mortgage process. Arm yourself with tax returns, bank statements, and 1099 forms. Together, they form a financial snapshot lenders need to see.
A stellar credit score and a low debt-to-income ratio are also part of the equation, enhancing your profile in the eyes of lenders.
Organize your financial and job-related documentation meticulously. An orderly presentation can expedite your mortgage approval process, bringing you closer to that home purchase.

Are you feeling a bit unsure about what’s really happening with <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/18/3-key-factors-affecting-home-affordability/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mortgage rates</a>? That might be because you’ve heard someone say they’re coming down. But then you read somewhere else that they’re up again. And that may leave you scratching your head and wondering what’s true.
The simplest answer is: that what you read or hear will vary based on the time frame they’re looking at. Here’s some information that can help clear up the confusion.
Mortgage Rates Are Volatile by Nature
<a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/08/what-lower-mortgage-rates-mean-for-your-purchasing-power/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mortgage rates</a> don’t move in a straight line. There are too <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/30/2-of-the-factors-that-impact-mortgage-rates/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">many factors</a> at play for that to happen. Instead, rates bounce around because they’re impacted by things like economic conditions, decisions from the Federal Reserve, and so much more. That means they might be up one day and down the next depending on what’s going on in the economy and the world as a whole.
Take a look at the graph below. It uses <a href="https://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/mortgage-rates/30-year-fixed" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">data</a> from Mortgage News Daily to show the ebbs and flows in the 30-year fixed mortgage rate since last October:
<a href="https://files.keepingcurrentmatters.com/KeepingCurrentMatters/content/images/20240209/20240212-30-year-fixed-mortgage-rate.png" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img src="https://files.keepingcurrentmatters.com/KeepingCurrentMatters/content/images/20240209/20240212-30-year-fixed-mortgage-rate.png" /></a>
If you look at the graph, you’ll see a lot of peaks and valleys – some bigger than others. And when you use data like this to explain what’s happening, the story can be different based on which two points in the graph you’re comparing.
For example, if you’re only looking at the beginning of this month through now, you may think mortgage rates are on the way back up. But, if you look at the latest data point and compare it to the peak in October, rates have <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/26/why-its-more-affordable-to-buy-a-home-this-year-infographic/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">trended down</a>. So, what’s the right way to look at it?
The Big Picture
Mortgage rates are always going to bounce around. It’s just how they work. So, you shouldn’t focus too much on the small, daily changes. Instead, to really understand the overall trend, zoom out and look at the big picture.
When you look at the highest point (October) compared to where rates are now, you can see they’ve <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/20/why-mortgage-rates-could-continue-to-decline/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">come down</a> compared to last year. And if you’re looking to buy a home, this is big news. Don’t let the little blips distract you. The experts agree, overall, that the larger downward trend could <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/20/why-mortgage-rates-could-continue-to-decline/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">continue this year</a>.

In today's competitive real estate market, understanding how to save on your mortgage is more crucial than ever, especially in areas like the Greater Boston area, where home prices are steep. One key strategy to consider is the purchase of mortgage points, a concept that might sound complex but can lead to substantial savings over the life of your loan.
Mortgage points, as explained by David Lenoir, a seasoned real estate expert from Coldwell Banker Realty, and Rick Waldron, a knowledgeable mortgage representative from Guaranteed Rate Affinity, are essentially a way to pay upfront and reduce your mortgage interest rate. This can translate into significant savings, particularly in high-value markets.
Discount points, usually amounting to 1% of your loan, can lower your interest rate by a quarter percent per point. This reduction can mean thousands of dollars saved over the duration of your mortgage. However, the decision to buy points should be based on your long-term housing plans and financial situation, as the upfront cost may not be justified if you plan to move or refinance shortly.
David and Rick emphasize the importance of professional guidance in navigating these decisions, ensuring that you make choices that align with your financial goals and the dynamics of the Greater Boston real estate market.
For anyone looking to buy a home or refinance their mortgage in Greater Boston or beyond, understanding mortgage points is essential. With expert advice from David and Rick, you can unlock the door to smarter financial decisions and, ultimately, your dream home.

Lenoirtag:davidlenoirhomes.com,2012-09-20:6776Don’t Wait Until Spring To Sell Your House
<img src="https://files.keepingcurrentmatters.com/KeepingCurrentMatters/content/images/20240131/20240201-Don-t-Wait-Until-Spring-To-Sell-Your-House.png" width="600" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />
As you think about the year ahead, one of your big goals may be moving. But, how do you know when to make your move? While spring is usually the peak homebuying season, you don’t actually need to wait until spring to sell. Here's why.
1. Take Advantage of Lower Mortgage Rates
Last October, the 30-year fixed <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/17/2-reasons-why-todays-mortgage-rate-trend-is-good-for-sellers/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mortgage rates</a> peaked at 7.79%. In January, they hit their <a href="https://www.freddiemac.com/pmms/archive" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lowest level</a> since May. That means you may not feel as locked-in to your current mortgage rate right now. That downward trend in rates has made moving <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/08/what-lower-mortgage-rates-mean-for-your-purchasing-power/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">more affordable</a> now than it was just a few months ago.
Another reason today’s rates make now a good time to sell? More buyers are jumping back into the market. Many had been waiting on the sidelines for rates to fall, but now that that’s happening, they’re eager and ready to buy. That means more demand for your house. <a href="https://freddiemac.gcs-web.com/node/28286/pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">According</a> to Sam Khater, Chief Economist at Freddie Mac:
“Given this stabilization in rates, potential homebuyers with affordability concerns have jumped off the fence back into the market.”
2. Get Ahead of Your Competition
Right now, there are still more people looking to buy a home than there are houses for sale, which puts you in a great position. But keep in mind, with the recent uptick in <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/24/are-more-homeowners-selling-as-mortgage-rates-come-down/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">new listings</a>, we’re seeing more sellers may already be re-entering the market.
<a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/22/3-must-dos-when-selling-your-house-in-2024/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listing your house</a> now helps you beat your competition and makes sure your house will stand out. And if you work with an agent to price it right, it could sell fast and get multiple offers. U.S. News <a href="https://realestate.usnews.com/real-estate/articles/understanding-housing-inventory-and-what-it-means-for-you" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">explains</a>:
“When there is low housing inventory, sellers could get top dollar for their homes.”
3. Make the Most of Rising Home Prices
<a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/23/experts-project-home-prices-will-increase-in-2024/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Experts forecast</a> home prices will keep <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/12/home-prices-forecast-to-climb-over-the-next-5-years-infographic/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">going up</a> this year. What does that mean for you? If you're ready to sell your current house and plan to buy another one, it may be a good idea to think about moving now before prices go up more. That would give you the chance to buy your next home before it gets more expensive.
4. Leverage Your Equity
Homeowners today have tremendous amounts of <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/09/ways-your-home-equity-can-help-you-reach-your-goals/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">equity</a>. In fact, a recent <a href="https://www.corelogic.com/intelligence/homeowner-equity-insights-q3-2023/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">report</a> from CoreLogic says the average homeowner with a mortgage has more than $300,000 in equity.
If you've been waiting to sell because you were worried about home affordability, know your equity can really help with your next move. It might even cover a big part, or maybe all, of the down payment for your next home.
Bottom Line
If you're thinking about <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/29/the-benefits-of-working-with-an-agent-when-you-sell-your-house-infographic/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">selling your house</a> and moving to another one, let’s connect to get the process started now so you can get a leg up on your competition.

In the ever-changing landscape of real estate, understanding market trends and predictions is crucial. Today, we delve into the insightful projections for 2024 by Dr. Lawrence Yoon, the chief economist of the National Association of Realtors. With an anticipated increase in new sales by about 19% and a rise in existing home sales by 13%, the year ahead promises significant opportunities.
<img src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/1O907kWB2xA0Q-kyIvVhm6_E8sxc98XiGHAET0PNwx_n0bCgBMONOjo8JcuboOEznNIxIvbz4rf2hfcLGiyjjS0ikuNbE6jRz1S2zrRGg-LGom3AdBt9xiLa_EyqgknsX7lqjvBVlzCn" width="636" height="360" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />
David Lenoir from Coldwell Banker Realty and Rick Waldron from Guaranteed Rate Affinity, explore the key drivers behind these predictions.
Look at some of these demographics:
7 million newborn babies
3 million marriages
1. 5 million divorces
7 million people turned 65
4 million deaths
4 million new jobs
50 million job switches
Those are all major life events, so to speak, where people decide whether or not they should buy or sell their home.
In turning to the economic front, mortgage rates have been coming down. They started their downward trend towards the end of last year. They're predicted to stay low, or at least where they are. And steady interest rates are good. Inflation has been easing and inflation is the driving force behind long term interest rates.
Bottom Line
In conclusion, the real estate market in 2024 is poised for growth, driven by demographic shifts and favorable economic conditions. Major life events such as births, marriages, retirements, and job changes are likely to influence decisions to buy or sell homes. Furthermore, the downward trend in mortgage rates, easing inflation, and expected cuts in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve all contribute to a promising environment for potential buyers and sellers. As we navigate through these exciting times, staying informed and understanding these trends will be key to making successful real estate decisions.

A great way to balance those emotions and make sure you’re confident in your decision is to keep these three best practices in mind when you’re <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/09/ways-your-home-equity-can-help-you-reach-your-goals/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ready to sell</a>.
1. Price Your Home Right
The <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/19/expert-quotes-on-the-2024-housing-market-forecast/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">housing market</a> shifted in 2023 as <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/20/why-mortgage-rates-could-continue-to-decline/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mortgage rates</a> rose and <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/12/home-prices-forecast-to-climb-over-the-next-5-years-infographic/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">home price appreciation</a> started to <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/10/20/home-price-growth-is-returning-to-normal-infographic/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">normalize</a> once again. As a seller, you still need to recognize how important it is to price your house appropriately based on where the market is today. Hannah Jones, Economic Research Analyst for Realtor.com, <a href="https://www.realtor.com/news/trends/home-seller-alert-weve-found-the-very-best-week-to-list-your-home-in-2023/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">explains</a>:
“Sellers need to become familiar with their local market and work closely with a local agent to make sure their listing is attractive to buyers. Buyers feeling the pressure of affordability are likely to be pickier, so a well-priced, well-maintained home is the ticket to drumming up big demand.”
If you price your house too high, you run the risk of deterring <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/18/why-now-is-still-a-great-time-to-sell-your-house/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">buyers</a>. And if you go too low, you’re leaving money on the table. An experienced <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/21/sell-smarter-why-working-with-a-real-estate-agent-may-beat-going-solo/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">real estate agent</a> can help determine what your ideal asking price should be, so your house moves quickly and for top dollar.
2. Keep Your Emotions in Check
Today, homeowners are staying in their houses <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/27/retiring-soon-why-moving-might-be-the-perfect-next-step/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">longer</a> than they used to. According to the <a href="https://www.nar.realtor/research-and-statistics/research-reports/highlights-from-the-profile-of-home-buyers-and-sellers" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">National Association of Realtors</a> (NAR), since 1985, the average time a homeowner has owned their home has increased from 6 to 10 years (see graph below):
<a href="https://files.keepingcurrentmatters.com/KeepingCurrentMatters/content/images/20240118/20240122-Todays-homeowners-are-staying-in-their-houses-for-an-average-of-10-years.png" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img src="https://files.keepingcurrentmatters.com/KeepingCurrentMatters/content/images/20240118/20240122-Todays-homeowners-are-staying-in-their-houses-for-an-average-of-10-years.png" /></a>
This is much more than what used to be the norm. The side effect, however, is when you stay in one place for so long, you may get even more emotionally attached to your space. If it’s the first home you bought or the house where your loved ones grew up, it very likely means something extra special to you. Every room has memories, and it’s hard to detach from the sentimental value.
For some homeowners, that makes it even tougher to separate the emotional value of the house from fair market price. That’s why you need a real estate professional to help you with the negotiations and the best pricing strategy along the way. Trust the professionals who have your best interests in mind.
3. Stage Your Home Properly
While you may love your decor and how you’ve customized your house over the years, not all buyers will feel the same way about your vibe. That’s why it’s so important to make sure you focus on your home’s first impression, so it appeals to as many buyers as possible.
Buyers want to be able to picture themselves in the home. They need to see themselves inside with their furniture and keepsakes – not your pictures and decorations. As Jessica Lautz, Deputy Chief Economist and Vice President of Research at NAR, <a href="https://www.nar.realtor/newsroom/nearly-half-of-sellers-agents-said-staging-a-home-reduced-its-time-on-market-nar-report-finds" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">says</a>:
“Buyers want to easily envision themselves within a new home and home staging is a way to showcase the property in its best light.”

Are You Self-Employed? Your Guide to Navigating the Mortgage Maze
The Real Secret to a Seamless Mortgage Experience
Have you ever been puzzled about why the mortgage process seems like a breeze for some self-employed professionals, yet a complex labyrinth for others? You're not alone, and the key to unraveling this mystery might be less complicated than you think.
Understanding Lender Requirements
For the self-employed, obtaining a mortgage doesn't have to be an uphill battle. The crux lies in understanding the intricacies of what lenders are on the lookout for and how you can be prepared. It's not a one-size-fits-all scenario, but with the right knowledge, you're setting yourself up for success.
The Documentation Dance - A Step-by-Step Guide
Tax Returns: The Window to Your Business Health
The journey begins with a deep dive into documentation - a realm where more is always better. Lenders will comb through your tax returns, both business and personal, to get a clear snapshot of your income. This step is crucial and requires your full attention.
Consistency is King
It's not merely about the numbers on your tax returns. Lenders are playing the long game, looking for signs of consistent profitability. They're likely to request two years of tax documents to ensure your business isn't just a flash in the pan.
Best Practices for a Stronger Application
Organize, Organize, Organize
Tidying up your financial records and keeping them organized is paramount. As you gear up for your mortgage application, remember that a good credit score can be your golden ticket.
The Role of Your Financial Advisors
A conversation with your CPA or bookkeeper isn't just advisable; it's a strategic move. Lenders may ask for the most recent profit & loss statements, balance sheets, and other financial documents, and having these ready can expedite the application process.
Teaming Up with the Right Professionals
The Power of Expert Guidance
Facing the mortgage challenge alone is an option, but not a recommended one. Teaming up with professionals who eat, sleep, and breathe the self-employed market can significantly tip the scales in your favor.
Closing Thoughts - The Path to Your New Home
Navigating the mortgage process as a self-employed individual might seem daunting, but with the right preparation and the perfect team to back you up, it's just a matter of when, not if, you'll be holding the keys to your new home.
For those ready to embark on this journey or seeking answers to pressing questions, the doors of communication are wide open. Reach out to us, and let's transform your dreams of homeownership into a tangible reality.

A summary of Arlington Real Estate Market activity and insights for the past month:
The January 2024 real estate market update report for Arlington, MA shows varied trends across different types of properties:
Single-Family Homes: There was a general decrease in listing units, average days on the market, and the number of listings year to date. However, the number of units with price changes increased, indicating a dynamic market.
Condominiums: The market saw an increase in listing units and average days on the market, but a decrease in the listing year to date and EXP year to date. This suggests a slower market with more available units.
Multi-Family Homes: The listing inventory increased, but the average original list price and EXP (YTD) decreased. This could indicate a buyer’s market with more options and lower prices.

Unlike renting, owning a home means more than just having a place to live – it offers a sense of belonging, stability, and freedom. <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/12/15/heres-what-to-expect-in-2024-if-you-want-to-buy-a-home.html#:~:text=%E2%80%9CThe%20American%20Dream%20is%20still,in%20America%2C%E2%80%9D%20said%20Lautz." rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">According</a> to Nicole Bachaud, Senior Economist at Zillow:
“The American Dream is still owning a home. There’s a lot of pent-up demand for ownership; that isn’t going to go away.”
Let’s explore just a few of the reasons why so many Americans continue to value homeownership.
The Financial Benefits of Owning a Home
One possible reason homeownership is viewed so highly is because owning a home is a significant <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/11/07/homeowner-net-worth-has-skyrocketed/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wealth-building</a> tool. That may be why Jessica Lautz, Deputy Chief and VP of Research at the National Association of Realtors (NAR), <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/12/15/heres-what-to-expect-in-2024-if-you-want-to-buy-a-home.html#:~:text=Indeed%2C%20%E2%80%9Chomeownership%20is%20the%20number,American%20dream%20of%20financial%20stability." rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">says</a>:
“Homeownership is the number one way to build wealth in America.”
Over time, owning a home not only helps boost your own <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/10/12/growing-your-net-worth-with-homeownership/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">net worth</a>, but it also sets future generations up for success as you pass that wealth down. Habitat for Humanity <a href="https://www.habitat.org/sites/default/files/Evidence-Brief_Wealth-building-for-homeowners.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">explains</a>:
“Overall, homeownership promotes wealth building by acting as a forced savings mechanism and through home value appreciation. Homeowners make monthly payments that increase their equity in their homes by paying down the principal balance of their mortgage. . . . In addition, owning a home promotes intergenerational homeownership and wealth building. Children of homeowners transition to homeownership earlier — lengthening the period over which they can accumulate wealth . . .”
It can also provide meaningful <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/10/25/invest-in-yourself-by-owning-a-home/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">financial stability</a> compared to renting. When you buy with a fixed-rate mortgage, you can lock in your monthly housing payments for the length of your home loan.
The Non-Financial Benefits of Homeownership
But, owning a home offers more than just <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/10/06/how-homeowner-net-worth-grows-with-time-infographic/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">financial benefits</a>—it benefits you socially and <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/11/23/why-homeowners-are-thankful-they-own/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">emotionally</a> too. Your <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/25/these-non-financial-benefits-turn-a-house-into-a-happy-home/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">home</a> provides feelings of achievement, responsibility, and more. In a recent survey, Fannie Mae <a href="https://www.fanniemae.com/research-and-insights/perspectives/consumers-homeownership-aspirations-remain-high-despite-higher-home-prices-and-interest-rates" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">outlines</a> just a few of these more emotionally-driven benefits, including:
“The top three were having control over what you do with your living space (94%) to having a sense of privacy and security (91%) and having a good place for your family or to raise your children (90%) . . .”
What Does That Mean for You?
If your idea of the <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/11/30/is-owning-a-home-still-the-american-dream-for-younger-buyers/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">American Dream</a> involves greater freedom, security, and prosperity, homeownership could be a key player in bringing that dream to life. And with <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/08/what-lower-mortgage-rates-mean-for-your-purchasing-power/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mortgage rates</a> now on a downward trend, it might be a good time for you to consider making a move.
If you’re ready and able to buy, know that there are incredible benefits waiting at the end of your journey. You'll gain more than just a home – it's a place to grow your wealth and call your very own. Like Ksenia Potapov, Economist at First American <a href="https://blog.firstam.com/economics/building-wealth-brick-by-brick" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">says</a>:
“...homeownership remains an important driver of wealth accumulation and the largest source of total wealth among most households.”
Bottom Line
Buying a home is a powerful decision and the cornerstone of the American Dream. If finding a place to call your own is part of your <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2024/01/05/achieving-your-homebuying-dreams-in-2024-infographic/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">dream</a> for this year, let’s connect to start the process today.

height="466" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />
Are you looking to increase your monthly savings? In our latest video, David Lenoir from Coldwell Banker Realty and Rick Waldron from Guaranteed Rate Affinity reveal how homeowners can potentially free up extra cash by eliminating Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).
Understanding when and how to remove PMI is crucial. Rick explains, “If you believe you've gained 20% equity in your home, it's time to contact your lender.” A new appraisal can confirm whether your equity position is sufficient for PMI removal.
But when can you make this request? “Typically, you need to have the loan for at least one to two years, depending on the lender,” Rick adds. Also crucial is maintaining a good mortgage payment history, as lenders consider this when reviewing PMI removal requests.
Here's great news: PMI isn't forever. “PMI automatically gets removed once your loan balance hits 78% of the home's original appraised value or selling price,” confirms Rick.

If buying or selling a home is your goal for 2024, it’s important to understand today’s housing market, know your why, and work with industry <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/07/why-you-need-to-use-a-real-estate-agent-when-you-buy-a-home/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">experts</a> to bring your homeownership vision for the new year into focus.
Over the last year, the <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/11/29/why-the-economy-wont-tank-the-housing-market/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">economy</a> had a big impact on the housing market, and likely on your wallet too. That’s why it’s critical to have a clear picture of not just the market today, but also on what you want out of it when you buy or sell a home. Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at Realtor.com, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/10/homes/mortgage-rates-november-10" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">explains</a>:
“The key to making a good decision in this challenging housing market is to be laser focused on what you need now and in the years ahead, so that you can stay in your home long enough that buying is a sound financial decision.”
Here are a few things to think through as you define your goals for 2024.
1. Know Your Why
You’re dreaming about making a move for a reason – what is it? No matter what’s happening in the market, there are still many <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/11/23/why-homeowners-are-thankful-they-own/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">compelling reasons</a> to buy a home today. Your needs may have changed in a way your current house can’t address, or you could be ready to step into homeownership for the first time. Use your why and your motivation as a guidepost in partnership with an expert advisor to make sure your move gives you a lasting sense of accomplishment.
2. Figure Out What Your Next Home Needs To Look Like
You know you want to move, but how would you describe your dream home? The number of <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/13/the-surprising-trend-in-the-number-of-homes-coming-onto-the-market/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">homes for sale</a> has grown recently, and that could mean more options to choose from when you buy. But overall housing supply is still <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/18/why-now-is-still-a-great-time-to-sell-your-house/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lower</a> than more normal years in the market, so you’ll have to work closely with a pro to find what you’re looking for. Just be sure to keep your budget in mind as you balance your wants and needs. The better you understand what’s essential and where you can be flexible, the easier it will be to find a home that’s right for you.
3. Determine if You’re Ready To Buy
Getting clear on your budget and available <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/12/down-payment-assistance-programs-can-help-pave-the-way-to-homeownership/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">savings</a> is essential before you get too far into the process. Partnering with a local agent and a lender early is the best way to make sure you’re in a good position to buy. This could include planning how much to save for a down payment, getting <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/08/your-homebuying-adventure-infographic/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">pre-approved</a> for a home loan, and assessing your current <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/11/22/home-prices-still-growing-just-at-a-more-normal-pace/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">home equity</a> if you’re selling your existing house.

<img src="https://files.keepingcurrentmatters.com/KeepingCurrentMatters/content/images/20231219/20231221-Sell-Smarter-Why-Working-with-a-Real-Estate-Agent-May-Beat-Going-Solo.png" width="600" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />
If you're thinking about <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/05/when-you-sell-your-house-where-do-you-plan-to-go/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">selling your house</a> on your own, called “For Sale by Owner” or FSBO, there are some important things to consider. Going this route means taking on a lot of responsibilities by yourself – and that can be a bit of a headache.
A recent <a href="https://www.nar.realtor/research-and-statistics/research-reports/highlights-from-the-profile-of-home-buyers-and-sellers" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">report</a> from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) found two of the most difficult tasks for people who sell their house on their own are getting the price right and understanding and performing paperwork.
Here are just a few of the ways an agent helps with those difficult tasks.
Getting the Price Right
Setting the right price for your house is important when you're trying to <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/01/3-reasons-to-sell-your-house-before-the-new-year-infographic/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">sell</a> it. If you're selling your house on your own, two common issues can happen. For starters, you might ask for too much money (overpricing). Alternatively, you might not ask for enough (underpricing). Either can make it hard to sell your house. <a href="https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/mortgages/price-home-sell" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">According</a> to NerdWallet:
“When selling a home, first impressions matter. Your house’s market debut is your first chance to attract a buyer and it’s important to get the pricing right. If your home is overpriced, you run the risk of buyers not seeing the listing.
. . . But price your house too low and you could end up leaving some serious money on the table. A bargain-basement price could also turn some buyers away, as they may wonder if there are any underlying problems with the house.”
To avoid these problems, it's a good idea to team up with a real estate agent. Real estate agents know how to figure out the perfect price because they understand the local housing market. They can use their expertise to set a price that matches what buyers are <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/14/if-your-house-hasnt-sold-yet-it-may-be-overpriced/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">willing to pay</a>, giving your house the best chance to impress from the start.
Understanding and Performing Paperwork
<a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/11/20/is-your-house-the-top-thing-on-a-buyers-wish-list-this-holiday-season/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Selling a house</a> involves a bunch of paperwork and legal documentation that has to be just right. There are a lot of rules and regulations to follow, making it a bit tricky for homeowners to manage everything on their own. Without a pro by your side, you could end up facing liability risks and legal complications.
Real estate agents are experts in all the contracts and paperwork needed for <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/11/16/people-are-still-moving-even-with-todays-affordability-challenges/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">selling a house</a>. They know the rules and can guide you through it all, reducing the chance of mistakes that might lead to legal problems or delays.
So, instead of dealing with the growing pile of documents on your own, team up with an agent who can be your advisor, helping you avoid any legal bumps in the road.
Bottom Line
Selling your house is a big deal, and it can be complicated. Having a real estate agent can make a huge difference with setting the right price and managing all the details, so you can sell confidently. Let’s connect to make the process smooth and take the stress off your plate.

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) anticipates a 13.5% increase nationally in existing home sales, signifying a rise to 4.71 million homes. This growth, coupled with a steady median home price pegged at $950,000 (Greater Boston area), signals a harmonious blend of opportunity for both buyers and sellers.
Aspiring homeowners and sellers alike can rejoice at the forecasted stability, which promises enhanced affordability against the canvas of a rising income trend. The steady prices also suggest that the value of Boston homes will continue to be a bastion of security for sellers.
Complementing these favorable conditions, the CME Fed Watch Tool indicates a strong likelihood of stable interest rates, with potential reductions as the year progresses, marking an opportune time for prospective buyers considering a mortgage.<br />2024 stands out as a golden year for those looking to engage with the Boston real estate market.

<img src="https://files.keepingcurrentmatters.com/KeepingCurrentMatters/content/images/20231220/20231228-What-You-Need-To-Know-About-Saving-for-a-Home-in-2024.png" width="600" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />
If you’re planning to <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/08/your-homebuying-adventure-infographic/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">buy a home</a>, knowing what to budget for and how to save may sound intimidating – but it doesn’t have to be. One way to ease those concerns is to make sure you understand some of the costs you may encounter up front. And to do that, always turn to trusted <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/07/why-you-need-to-use-a-real-estate-agent-when-you-buy-a-home/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">real estate professionals</a>. They can help you set a plan and take a strategic look at your budget and your process before you even get started.
Here are just a few things experts say you should be thinking about.
1. Down Payment
Saving for your <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/15/what-you-need-to-know-about-down-payments-infographic/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">down payment</a> is likely top of mind as you set out to buy a home. But do you know how much you’ll need? While every buyer’s situation is different, there’s a common misconception that putting 20% of the purchase price down is required. An article from the Mortgage Reports <a href="https://themortgagereports.com/18520/20-percent-downpayment-risk-mortgage-interest-rate" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">explains</a> why that’s not always the case:
“The idea that you have to put 20% down on a house is a myth. . . . The right amount depends on your current savings and your home buying goals.”
To understand your options, partner with trusted real estate professionals to go over the various loan types, down payment <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/12/down-payment-assistance-programs-can-help-pave-the-way-to-homeownership/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">assistance programs</a>, and what each one requires. The more you know ahead of time, the easier the process will be.
2. Closing Costs
Make sure you also budget for closing costs, which are a collection of fees and payments made to the various parties involved in your transaction. Bankrate <a href="https://www.bankrate.com/mortgages/what-are-closing-costs/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">explains</a>:
“Closing costs are the fees you pay when finalizing a real estate transaction, whether you’re refinancing a mortgage or buying a new home. These costs can amount to 2 to 5 percent of the mortgage so it’s important to be financially prepared for this expense.”
The best way to understand what you’ll need at the closing table is to work with a trusted lender. They can provide you with answers to the questions you might have.
3. Earnest Money Deposit
If you want to cover all your bases, you can also consider saving for an earnest money deposit (EMD). An EMD is money you pay as a show of good faith when you make an offer on a house. According to <a href="https://www.realtor.com/advice/finance/understanding-the-earnest-money-deposit-2/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Realtor.com</a>, it’s usually between 1% and 2% of the total home price.
This deposit works like a credit. It’s not an added expense – it’s paying a portion of your costs upfront. You’re using some of the money you’ve already saved for your purchase to show the seller you’re committed and serious about buying their house. Realtor.com <a href="https://www.realtor.com/advice/finance/understanding-the-earnest-money-deposit-2/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">describes</a> how it works as part of your sale:
“It tells the real estate seller you’re in earnest as a buyer . . . Assuming that all goes well and the buyer’s good-faith offer is accepted by the seller, the earnest money funds go toward the down payment and closing costs. In effect, earnest money is just paying more of the down payment and closing costs upfront.”
Keep in mind, an EMD isn’t required, and it doesn’t guarantee your offer will be accepted. It’s important to work with a real estate advisor to understand what’s best for your situation and any specific requirements in your local area. They’ll advise you on what moves you should make so you can make the best possible decisions throughout the buying process.
Bottom Line
When <a href="https://www.mykcm.com/2023/12/11/the-perfect-home-could-be-the-one-you-perfect-after-buying/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">buying a home</a>, being informed about what to save for is key.

Have you ever wondered just how much you should save for a down payment when buying a house, or why it's so important? Navigating the real estate market can be a complex process, especially when it comes to understanding down payments. In the Greater Boston area, where the median sale price is around $950,000, making informed decisions about your down payment is crucial. Let's shed light on this important aspect of home buying, inspired by the insights of David Lenoir of Coldwell Banker Realty and Rick Waldron from of Guaranteed Rate Affinity.
A down payment is your initial investment in your new home, usually a percentage of the purchase price. It influences not only your mortgage amount but also the interest rates and monthly payments. For example, with a median home price of $950,000 in Boston, a 20% down payment would be $190,000, significantly reducing your mortgage balance and monthly payments compared to a lower down payment.
Example of Down Payments for a Home Purchase of $950,000:
0% Down: Financing full purchase price $950,000
5% Down = $47,500 financing $902,500
10% Down = $95,000 financing $855,000
20% Down = $190,000 financing $760,000
But what if you can’t afford 20%? Don’t worry. There are options available, from no-money-down to various percentages up to 20%. It's important to find a balance that suits your financial situation. A higher down payment might save you more in the long run by reducing interest and avoiding PMI, but it’s not always feasible for everyone.
For first-time homebuyers, several assistance programs can make entering the housing market more accessible. Saving for a down payment might seem daunting, but with a realistic budget, timeline, and a dedicated savings account, it's achievable.
In conclusion, understanding and managing down payments is a vital step in your journey to homeownership, especially in a market like Greater Boston. Whether you're a first-time buyer or looking for your next home, it’s important to seek guidance and find a plan that works for you.

Lenoirtag:davidlenoirhomes.com,2012-09-20:6611Could 2024 Be Your Year for a Dream Home in the Boston area? Unveiling the Future of Mortgage Rates...<img src="https://assets.site-static.com/userfiles/3732/image/Could_2024_Be_your_Year_for_a_Dream_Home_in_the_Boston_Area.jpg" width="820" height="462" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />
Hello! David Lenoir here, your trusted Coldwell Banker Realty agent in the Greater Boston area. With the ever-evolving real estate landscape, I'm here to shed light on a topic that's on the minds of many: the future of mortgage rates and the Federal Reserve's next steps.
Recently, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell provided insights that suggest a more accommodative outlook for 2024. The Fed left rates unchanged at their latest meeting, but there's a growing anticipation of rate cuts, potentially starting in spring 2024. For those in the Greater Boston area, which includes Arlington, Cambridge, Belmont, Lexington, Winchester, Medford, Somerville, and other towns in southern Middlesex County, this news is particularly pertinent.
The first significant opportunity for a rate cut could be at the Fed’s March 20, 2024 meeting. This is a key date for anyone considering buying a home or refinancing. Mortgage rates have been showing favorable trends, and the outlook for lower rates seems promising. However, these rates are closely tied to the job market and unemployment rates.
Another factor to watch is the Fed's approach to quantitative tightening, which could shift as soon as summer 2024. This change could further impact mortgage rates, making it an essential consideration for your real estate decisions.
As a real estate professional deeply rooted in the Greater Boston area, I'm here to guide you through these changes. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, looking to downsize, or interested in new construction and condo conversions, understanding these financial nuances is crucial. Reach out to discuss how these developments might affect your real estate goals. Let's navigate this dynamic market together and find your perfect place in our diverse and vibrant community.

If you’re thinking about retirement or have already retired this year, it’s a good time to consider if your current house is still a good fit for the next chapter in your life.
Fortunately, you may be in a better position to <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/05/when-you-sell-your-house-where-do-you-plan-to-go/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">make a move</a> than you realize. Here are a few things to think about as you decide whether or not to sell and make a move.
How Long You’ve Been in Your Home
From 1985 to 2008, the average length of time homeowners typically stayed in their homes was only six years. But according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), that number is <a href="https://www.nar.realtor/research-and-statistics/research-reports/highlights-from-the-profile-of-home-buyers-and-sellers" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">rising</a> today, meaning many homeowners are living in their houses even longer (see graph below):
<a href="https://files.keepingcurrentmatters.com/KeepingCurrentMatters/content/images/20231220/20231227-Homeowners-Are-Living-In-Their-Homes-Longer-In-Recent-Years.png" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img src="https://files.keepingcurrentmatters.com/KeepingCurrentMatters/content/images/20231220/20231227-Homeowners-Are-Living-In-Their-Homes-Longer-In-Recent-Years.png" /></a>
When you live in a home for a significant period of time, it’s natural for you to experience a number of changes in your life while you’re in that house. As those <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/11/13/life-changing-events-that-move-the-housing-market/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">life changes</a> and milestones happen, your needs may change. And if your current home no longer meets them, you may have better options waiting for you.
How Much Equity You’ve Gained
Additionally, if you’ve been in your house for more than a few years, you’ve likely built-up significant equity that can fuel your next move. That’s because the longer you’ve been in your house, the more likely it’s grown in value due to <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/04/experts-project-home-prices-will-rise-over-the-next-5-years/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">home price appreciation</a>. Data from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) <a href="https://www.fhfa.gov/DataTools/Tools/Pages/House-Price-Index-(HPI).aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">illustrates</a> that point (see graph below):
<a href="https://files.keepingcurrentmatters.com/KeepingCurrentMatters/content/images/20231220/20231227-How-Home-Prices-Have-Grown-over-Time.png" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img src="https://files.keepingcurrentmatters.com/KeepingCurrentMatters/content/images/20231220/20231227-How-Home-Prices-Have-Grown-over-Time.png" /></a>
While home price growth varies by state and local area, the national average shows the typical homeowner who’s been in their house for five years saw it increase in value by nearly 60%. And the average homeowner who’s owned their home since 1991 saw it more than triple in value over that time.
Consider Your Retirement Goals
Whether you're looking to downsize, relocate to a dream destination, or simply be closer to loved ones, your home equity can be a key to realizing your homeownership goals. NAR <a href="https://www.nar.realtor/research-and-statistics/research-reports/highlights-from-the-profile-of-home-buyers-and-sellers" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">shares</a> that for recent home sellers, the primary reason to move was to be closer to loved ones.
Whatever your home goals are, a trusted <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/07/why-you-need-to-use-a-real-estate-agent-when-you-buy-a-home/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">real estate agent</a> can work with you to find the best option.

A summary of Arlington Real Estate Market activity and insights for the past year:
As we bid farewell to 2023 and welcome a new year, it's time to take a deep dive into the real estate market in Arlington. I'm David Lenoir, your go-to real estate expert in the Greater Boston Area, and I'm here to provide you with an insightful update on the trends and changes in the Arlington real estate market.
The Arlington real estate market has experienced various shifts in 2023, with changes in inventory, pricing, and days on the market. Single-family homes have seen an increase in listings but a decrease in units sold. Condominiums, on the other hand, have faced a reduction in both listing inventory and units sold. Multi-family homes have seen a decrease in listing inventory but an increase in units sold.
Industry experts express optimism for home buyers entering 2024 due to a more favorable market condition following the autumn rise in mortgage rates. that the supply of homes for sale will increase as mortgage rates ease. More buyers and sellers are expected to become active in the market, leading to more listings, especially in 2024 when rates are anticipated to be around 6.5%.
As we move forward into 2024, it's crucial to monitor these trends closely. If you have any questions or are considering buying or selling in Arlington, feel free to reach out. I'm here to guide you through the dynamic real estate landscape in the Greater Boston Area.
Stay tuned for more updates, and here's to a successful and prosperous year!

If you’re thinking about <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/07/why-you-need-to-use-a-real-estate-agent-when-you-buy-a-home/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">buying</a> or <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/18/why-now-is-still-a-great-time-to-sell-your-house/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">selling</a> a home soon, you probably want to know what you can expect from the <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/11/17/2024-housing-market-forecast-infographic/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">housing market</a> in 2024. In 2023, higher mortgage rates, confusion over <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/11/22/home-prices-still-growing-just-at-a-more-normal-pace/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">home price</a> headlines, and a lack of homes for sale created some challenges for buyers and sellers looking to make a move. But what’s on the horizon for the <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/11/15/the-latest-2024-housing-market-forecast/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">new year</a>?
The good news is, many experts are optimistic we’ve turned a corner and are headed in a positive direction.
Mortgage Rates Expected To Ease
Recently, mortgage rates have started to come back down. This has offered hope to buyers dealing with affordability challenges. Mark Fleming, Chief Economist at First American, <a href="https://blog.firstam.com/economics/whats-the-outlook-for-the-housing-market-in-2024" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">explains</a> how they may continue to drop:
“Mortgage rates have already retreated from recent peaks near 8 percent and may fall further . . .”
Jessica Lautz, Deputy Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors (NAR), <a href="https://www.nar.realtor/blogs/economists-outlook/instant-reaction-mortgage-rates-december-7-2023" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">says</a>:
“For home buyers who are taking on a mortgage to purchase a home and have been wary of the autumn rise in mortgage rates, the market is turning more favorable, and there should be optimism entering 2024 for a better market.”
The Supply of Homes for Sale May Grow
As rates ease, activity in the housing market should pick up because more buyers and sellers who had been holding off will jump back into action. If more sellers list, the supply of <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/11/21/are-there-actually-more-homes-for-sale-right-now/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">homes for sale</a> will grow – <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/13/the-surprising-trend-in-the-number-of-homes-coming-onto-the-market/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a trend</a> we’ve already started to see this year. Lisa Sturtevant, Chief Economist at Bright MLS, <a href="https://brightmls.com/article/2024-national-housing-market-outlook" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">says</a>:
“Supply will loosen up in 2024. Even homeowners who have been characterized as being ‘locked in’ to low rates will increasingly find that changing family and financial circumstances will lead to more moves and more new listings over the course of the year, particularly as rates move closer to 6.5%.”
Home Price Growth Should Moderate
And mortgage rates pulling back isn’t the only positive sign for <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/11/16/people-are-still-moving-even-with-todays-affordability-challenges/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">affordability</a>. <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/12/04/experts-project-home-prices-will-rise-over-the-next-5-years/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Home price</a> growth is expected to moderate too, as inventory improves but is still low overall. As the Home Price Expectation Survey (HPES) from Fannie Mae, a survey of over 100 economists, investment strategists, and housing market analysts, <a href="https://www.fanniemae.com/newsroom/fannie-mae-news/q4-2023-home-price-expectations-survey" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">says</a>:
“On average, the panel anticipates home price growth to clock in at 5.9% in 2023, to be followed by slower growth in 2024 and 2025 of 2.4 percent and 2.7 percent, respectively.”
To wrap it up, experts project 2024 will be a better year for the <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2023/11/29/why-the-economy-wont-tank-the-housing-market/?a=295619-65e6e94f2db296fdfa0cf246be8bfeac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">housing market</a>. So, if you’re thinking about making a move next year, know that early signs show we’re turning a corner. As Mike Simonsen, President and Founder of Altos Research, <a href="https://www.housingwire.com/articles/promising-signs-abound-for-housing-market-in-2024/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">puts it</a>:
“We’re going into 2024 with slight home-price gains, somewhat easing inventory constraints, slightly increasing transaction volume . . . All in all, things are looking up for the U.S. housing market in 2024.”
Bottom Line
Experts are optimistic about what 2024 holds for the housing market. If you’re looking to buy or sell a home in the new year, the best way to ensure you’re up to date on the latest forecasts is to partner with a trusted real estate agent. Let’s connect.

Buying a home in Massachusetts is an exciting journey, but it's crucial to understand all the costs involved – especially the often-overlooked closing costs. David Lenoir from Coldwell Banker Realty and Rick Waldron of Guaranteed Rate Affinity recently shared their insights to help first-time buyers navigate these expenses.
Closing costs are the various fees and expenses you pay at the closing of your home purchase, beyond the down payment. In Massachusetts, these typically range from 2% to 5% of the home's purchase price. For a $500,000 home, you might budget between $10,000 to $25,000 for these costs.
What do these costs include? Expect lender fees like loan origination fees, third-party fees such as appraisals and attorney fees, and title insurance to protect against past ownership claims. Additionally, there's a transfer tax, usually paid by sellers, to the county.
A common question is about agent fees. Typically, the seller covers the commission for both the listing and buyer's agents. However, arrangements can vary, so clear communication with your agent is essential.
Remember, some of these fees are negotiable. Working with experienced professionals like David and Rick can help you understand and navigate these costs effectively.
Don't let closing costs catch you by surprise. Be informed, prepared, and ready to find your dream home in the Massachusetts real estate market.
