Today’s hot market can make finding the perfect home to buy a bit more challenging. Home prices have risen along with mortgage rates, and homes continue to sell very quickly. But while there are some challenges, the opportunity may be well worth the effort. Many housing experts are forecasting continued home price appreciation this year and beyond. Let’s look at an example – If you were to purchase a $400,000 home today, and values increased near their historical average of 5%, you would gain $20,000 in appreciation over the next year alone. I’m Gina Lemelin and would love to help you navigate the opportunity of homeownership.
