Key terms in today’s housing market

July 23, 2021

The language of buying and selling a home may sound scary at first, but knowing how key terms relate to today’s market can help you. For example, current low mortgage rates and higher wages positively impact affordability for buyers, while home price appreciation continues to grow home equity, which sellers can use to fuel a move up.

Terms like appraisal (what lenders rely on to validate a home’s value) and contingencies (which buyers can minimize to make their offer stand out) directly impact the transaction.

TESTIMONIALS

"Russ helped us make our retirement dream a reality. We met Russ in July of 2018 when we made our first house hunting trip to Green Valley, AZ. He listened carefully to what we were looking for in a home and presented us with a list of houses that met our criteria. He helped us through two failed sales on our ou-of-state home, and when our home sold after five months on the market Russ was ready to help us with our home purchase in AZ. He stayed on top of all the important dates, provided us with a wealth of information about the area and links to all the required utilities. Moving is very stressful but Russ took a lot of the stress away with his commitment to quality customer service."
- C. G., Green Valley AZ
"Russ is a very good marketer. He sold our home in one day! He listens and responds promptly with his knowledge of the area and sound advice on selling or buying a new home. Russ exhibits honesty and integrity. He was always ready to help us. He is willing to try new ideas. He made our stressful decisions easier. We recommend him with pleasure."
- J.B., Green Valley AZ
"Could not have had a better Realtor. Property was part of an estate and Russ knew exactly how to take care of everything. Up on values, very helpful and constantly kept me informed with all problems and progress. I am out of state and felt very comfortable with him handling the sale. "
- P.S., Orlando FL
