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

"100% full service. Russ walked us through each step making sure we understood the process. He was very patient with us when we fumbled a bit with DocuSign. Russ was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend him. There’s really not a lot more we can say except that the purchase of our condo went so fast and smoothly… all due to Russ!"
- S.H., Green Valley AZ
"He is very personable, knowledgeable and reliable. Anytime we had a question or concern, he was right there with the answer. Our buyers were from out of state and had only 1 week to see the house and schedule all inspections. It could have been very stressful for us, but Russ took care of everything in professional and timely manner."
- S.S., Green Valley AZ
"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."
