Good News for Renters! – Market Update

Title Fraud is on The Rise

July 26, 2023 by svalada Leave a Comment

Instead, we are looking back. The price gains we saw in early 2022 have now evaporated and we are back to 2021 pricing. Not necessarily a bad thing given that many homeowners had been priced out of the market at this same time last year. Our sales volume is Continue Reading

Is it a Good Time to Buy a Home?

November 1, 2022 by svalada Leave a Comment

Buy now or wait! This is the question on all potential homebuyers’ minds this fall. Over the past few weeks, the mortgage interest rates have soared to a 14-year high.
