One common mistake we see first time home buyers making often is not saving enough for the down payment and closing costs. While there are some options to purchase a home with little to no down payment, this will vary by the type of mortgage you receive. You'll also need to take into consideration various closing costs such as prepaid homeowner's insurance, appraisal fees, inspection fees, and attorney fees. Putting away 3-20% of the purchase price of the home will hel...p prepare you for unforeseen fees and help maintain peace of mind throughout your home buying journey.

A year after the start of the pandemic, what should we expect from the Metro Atlanta real estate market this spring? As you may have already known, demand currently outweighs supply in the market and mortgage rates have remained at historic lows. What's important to keep in mind is that experts are predicting a strong Spring market due to buyers who:... had previously put off their home buying plans because of fear of the unknown during the pandemic. are adjusting to the "new normal" of a work from home lifestyle, and would like a bigger and more accommodating space. What's more, properties that offer these "work-from-home-friendly" amenities are going to be the fastest to go off the market. According to Zillow, if you're planning to sell your home this year- you will almost certainly receive your target sales price or more. On the other hand, if you're looking to buy- we would recommend taking a look at neighborhoods such as Smyrna, Chamblee and North Druid Hills, which are more affordable areas and still close to the city. Send us a DM for more information on the current Atlanta market, what to expect in the upcoming months, and how to navigate the home buying or selling process. See more
