Infographic:
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, Went above and beyond for me. Being from out-of-state, he really knew what area I needed and wanted to be in. He had a lot of extra details in this purchase for me. After meeting Russ, he knew the situation I am in and made this move to the area and home perfect for me. I can not thank him enough."
- R.H., Green Valley AZ
"Anytime, anywhere, he was there, always going the extra mile. He even came to the house and watered trees so they would not die — more then once. He’s what you call real professional, a 10.5 on a 10 scale. I was out of town when the house was listed so he went to the house and did a video. I didn’t see a dishwasher, he said “yes it was there.” That was good enough for me, but he went to house and took picture to show me. He kept me informed every step of the process, and followed-up to ask if I had any questions."
- G.M., Sandpoint ID
"My experience with Russ selling my mom’s house for us was great. I’m in northern Idaho and he dealt with everything for me with out me having to go to Green Valley. I feel he went above and beyond the call of duty. I not only recommend him, I am going to use him to sell mom’s other house. THANKS, Russ."
