🏡 More homes on the market could mean more room to negotiate.

Active inventory recently reached about 1.5 million homes, its highest level since May, while pending sales have slowed. That combination is giving some buyers more leverage than they’ve had in recent years.

If a home has been sitting on the market, buyers may have an opportunity to negotiate more than just the purchase price. Seller-paid closing costs, repairs, or a mortgage rate buydown could all potentially be part of the conversation.

The list price is the starting point. The right strategy could help you negotiate the deal—not just the house.

Would You Rather: Walkable City 🏙️ or Country House 🌳? Let’s talk mortgages. 💰

This decision is about more than the location. It’s about choosing a home that fits your lifestyle, finances, and long-term goals.

A city home may offer convenience, less exterior maintenance, and easier access to work, dining, and entertainment. However, buyers should also consider factors such as limited space, parking costs, and HOA fees.

A country home may provide more space, privacy, and land. However, it can also come with added responsibilities, including septic systems, well maintenance, repairs, and longer commutes.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer. The right choice is the one that fits your budget, priorities, and future plans. 🏡✨

Which would you choose: walkable city or country living? Let us know in the comments!

🏡 Mortgage qualifying just got a little more flexible for some borrowers.

Freddie Mac has expanded its Accumulated Assets as Income guidelines, an important update for borrowers whose financial strength may be tied more to their assets than a traditional paycheck.

Think about someone who has built significant wealth through investments, retirement accounts or other eligible assets but has a lower or less predictable monthly income. Previously, that financial picture might not have translated as favorably when qualifying for a mortgage.

With the updated guidelines, Freddie Mac has:

🔹 Removed the minimum age requirement
🔹 Improved the asset calculation
🔹 Expanded certain LTV and property eligibility

It’s a good reminder that income isn't always the whole story when it comes to mortgage qualification.
