It’s Hard to Believe, but Today’s Homes are Affordable

It’s no secret, home prices have skyrocketed. In fact, according to CoreLogic’s April 2021 Home Price Index report, home prices increased 13 percent year-over-year and 2.1 percent monthly in April. Coupled with lack of inventory, today’s housing market could be quite tricky to navigate. With that in mind, we’re guessing you wouldn’t believe us if we told you houses are actually quite affordable. We agree, it sounds outlandish given the state of the current housing market, but the truth of the matter is that home prices aren’t the only thing that determine affordability.

The Mortgage Process: Part 3, Application

You have found “the house” and your offer has been accepted… Really exciting stuff! But what’s next? When you initially completed your application, upon review and approval, your lender either provided a pre-qualification or a pre-approval letter. The terms are similar, but not the same. A pre-qualification is a pretty vague application including very basic pieces of information. While this information may have allowed your lender to give you the initial OK to search for homes... If you chose this route, now that you have found the house you are going to purchase, it is time to revisit that application and add more specific documents and information to keep your loan file moving along in the process.
