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

"As an out-of-state buyer, I needed to find the right person to be my local contact. And Russ was that person. He knows the area and had a lot of patience to show me around. He also did not push his opinion but was willing to give it to me when asked. The end result? With Russ’s help I have purchased the right home in the right area for the right price! I never could have done that without the expertise Russ brings to the process."
- D.H., Mogadore OH
"We found Russ to be an excellent Realtor. He was so easy to work with, very professional and thorough. He was always prompt to respond to our calls and emails. We were a bit nervous at first, because we were out of town buyers, but Russ quickly put us at ease. He sent us many potential prospects but he was never pushy. It was so nice to work with someone so honest. We would highly recommend using Russ to anyone who was looking to buy or sell."
- L.M., Green Valley, AZ
"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++++."
