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

"Couldn’t have asked for a better Realtor!! Russ was very friendly and professional, very knowledgeable, great at negotiating and had a great strategy for everything. He kept us up to date and did all the heavy lifting for us. He took the time to find houses that matched our needs, took care of setting up our inspections and handled any issues that came up during the process. Russ made the house buying process smooth and stress free. Really can’t say enough good things about Russ. We had zero complaints. We definitely recommend using Russ as your Realtor. "

"Russ was a pleasure to work with. Being we’re in Seattle and buying in Green Valley, Arizona, Russ made the process very easy and comfortable. The transaction, with the help of Russ, went smoothly and without any hitches. He was quick to respond with any concerns or questions. I would recommend him for your real estate needs without hesitation. Having first hand knowledge of Green Valley was a bonus for us."
- B.E., Green Valley, AZ
"My husband and I are honored to recommend Russ Fortuno as the most efficient and professional real estate professional we have had. We feel very blessed to have found Russ while we were still in North Carolina. We planned to relocate to Green Valley, AZ and were interested in establishing a rapport and receiving listings prior to moving cross-country. By the time we arrived Russ pretty much knew what we were looking for. Even though the inventory was not terribly plentiful at the time we found our home the very first day we went looking!!! In addition to helping us find the perfect home, Russ was wonderful to refer us to local contractors and professionals in our area. He is a wealth of information and took the time to answer any questions we had. We also felt the step-by-step timeline Russ includes in his service was very helpful."
- M.P., Green Valley, AZ
