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

"All I can about Russ Fortuno is that he did a excellent job in the complete process of selling my home. I would recommend him to other people. He knows local knowledge and his process expertise was very good.He respond to all my question and kept me informed of any new items that came up. He did a excellent job in the negotiations with the buyer agent. I couldn’t have picked a better agent to handle the sell of my property. "

"I was so lucky to find Russ. It’s been a long time since I bought a home and working through the stacks of paperwork was daunting! I was so glad to have Russ “be there for me” and to guide me through each step. He was on top of every stage of the home buying process, knew the answers to all my questions and immediately responded (sometimes in minutes). Russ also has a bevy of wonderful local businesses to recommend and a comprehensive website that was exceedingly helpful! You are making a mistake if you don’t use Russ to help you purchase your home in Green Valley, he is A++++."

"It’s hard to know where to start. Russ walked on water for us. He must memorize every listing the morning it lists. He knew exactly what we wanted and found our perfect house the morning it came on the market. We came from northern Washington and had already checked several other communities before deciding on this area, and Russ refined our search to meet our needs. Russ was prompt, quick to respond to our phone calls, always kept us in the loop, and just a pleasure to work with. He was on top of every detail and brought us to closing a day early. Yay Russ!"
