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 Fortuno not only made our Green Valley AZ home purchase happen, he made it easy. We live in Eastern Washington and wanted to buy a vacation home in Green Valley but were apprehensive about buying a property without physically seeing it. Russ made the process easy. He supplied us with walk-through videos of every property we showed interest in, paying special attention to any issues the property might have. By the time we actually saw the property we were purchasing, we felt like we had been there a number of times. Russ walked us through the buying process from beginning to end! We highly recommend Russ and will use him for all or our real estate needs."
- D.W., Chattaroy, WA
"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
"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."
