Do You Know Your Home Purchasing Power? 🏡

Your purchasing power isn’t just about what you earn—it’s how far your money goes in today’s market. With interest rates still tied to Fed policy, waiting for a drop might mean facing higher home prices later due to tight inventory and strong demand.

So, what’s better: buying now with higher rates and stable prices, or later with lower rates and rising prices? That’s why it’s critical to know your home purchasing power today—so you can make the most strategic move possible.

Get the Facts First 🕵️‍♀️

Before we even walk through the door, let’s prepare smart questions and run a quick background check on the home. How long has it been on the market? Is it priced right for today’s conditions? We’ll also review the seller’s disclosures, check for a Homeowners Association, and note any fees or restrictions. These answers matter—and depending on what we find, some homes may not make the cut.⁉️

Capture What Stands Out 📸

We may tour several homes, and they can start to blur together. That’s why it helps to take notes, photos, or even short videos of each property—especially the features you love and the dealbreakers to remember. I’ll inform the listing agent ahead of time, so the seller is aware you’ll be documenting during the showing.

Plan the Day Your Way 🎯

Now it’s time to book your showings. Do you want to tour them all in one day, or spread them out over the week? We’ll create a plan that lets you take your time and explore each home without pressure. Dress comfortably, bring snacks, and let’s make a day of it—without the rush.

Picture Yourself at Home 🤩

As you walk through each home, take a moment to envision your daily life in that space. How would you use each room? Can you see yourself living there? If you have kids, consider bringing them along—they’re an essential part of the decision-making process, too.

Review Each Home After the Tour 🔢

Once you’re home and have time to reflect, go over your notes, photos, and videos from the day. Did any deal breakers stand out? Is it time to remove a few homes from the list? Create a detailed list of pros and cons for each property—this will help you stay clear-headed and confident as you narrow down your top picks.

Revisit to Clarify Your Decision 🔀

If you’re torn between a few homes, it may be worth revisiting your favorites. A second walk-through can help you see things more clearly and prioritize your list. Sometimes, that follow-up visit is all it takes to make the right call.

Make It Count—Without Overpaying 💥

Awesome 😃 — you’ve found the one! I’ll help you craft a firm, strategic offer that stands out and stays within your budget. You’ll understand all the terms, timelines, and options, so you can make smart, confident decisions—and put your best foot forward.

The Finish Line Is in Sight 🥳

Once you’re at this stage, you’re just a hop, skip, and jump away from owning your new home.
Waiting for the seller’s response can be nerve-wracking, but don’t stress—I’ll keep you updated every step of the way, and we’ll be ready for any counteroffers or negotiations. ✨🏡
Next comes the home inspection 🔍 and the final round of discussions, if needed.
So… are you excited❓Each step brings you closer to holding the keys to your dream home. I can’t wait to help you cross the finish line. 🏡🎉💥
