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

"From start to finish, Russ Fortuno was “a class act.” It started with his online Home Buyer’s Guide which was helpful to me, a first-time, out-of-state buyer. His new listing email notifications were timely and helped me get familiar with the Green Valley properties that fit my budget. Then when I was ready to buy, he represented me as a buyer’s agent. He professionally led me through the entire process with great knowledge of the available properties, as well as the subsequent offer and purchasing process. I found Russ to be very clear and direct. He went above and beyond what I expected. Even after the closing, he arranged the removal of some unwanted furniture and helped me identify cleaning and painting services in the area, something few other agents would do. I would highly recommend his services to anyone without reservation!"
- E.D., Green Valley, AZ
"I can’t say enough about what an outstanding job Russ did for us! We decided to retire to AZ and after touring several areas in the state, we chose the Tucson area. I found Russ online and reached out to him to help us find our retirement neighborhood and home. Russ spent a day showing us all of the different neighborhoods in both Sahuarita and Green Valley that met our requirements and were within our budget. By the end of the day, we had chosen four neighborhoods. Russ then found four homes for sale in our chosen neighborhoods; two in our favorite! The next day, Russ took us to tour the four homes and by the end of the second day, we made an offer. We are relocating from Kentucky and Russ has been there for us every single step of the way. He has been invaluable in making this entire experience smooth and exciting for us! His service after the sale has been equally exemplary!"
- E. W., Sahuarita AZ
"Russ is an incredible professional and I cannot think of a single area of expertise he wasn’t abreast of. Every question was answered promptly, accurately and pleasantly. He knows his market, he knows the industry and he knows people. He’s able to meet people on their level without being condescending. I would, and have, recommended Russ to others who are looking for a good and trustworthy Realtor."
- R.S., Green Valley, AZ
