Buying a home is a major milestone – whether it’s your first home, you’re looking for a bigger space, or you’re downsizing to suit your future needs.
This month we're sharing some practical tips for you to take at whatever stage you are at on your real estate journey. We're also sharing some data on how home values have risen over the years and a historical perspective of mortgage rates. Of course, when it comes to any financial decisions, you’ll want to check with your lender or financial professional to learn about the best option for you. If you need the name of a qualified professional, let us know and we’ll connect you to one in our network. Have you ever been on vacation somewhere and thought, “This is my idea of paradise.

Have you ever been on vacation and thought, “I’d love to live here!”? You may consider it for a moment and then tell yourself all the reasons it won’t work. But what if there was a way you could pull it off?
Here, you’ll find some ideas on how to make that dream a reality. We also share some of the other benefits of owning a second home. If there’s one thing we learned after the past few years, it is that spending time with our families and friends is more important than ever. And if that means time spent in a dream location, then that’s a win-win! We’d be delighted to help make that a possibility for you and your family. Owning a home is a hallmark of the American Dream as well as one of the best ways to build wealth. In fact, the average homeowner has 40x the net worth of renters and $299,000 in equity.
Many younger generations, however, feel this is a dream out of reach. But what if there was a way you could help those in your family get on the ladder to homeownership? By tapping into your equity and offering them a gift, loan, lease or trust to buy their own home you can help them start creating their own generational wealth and a brighter future.

A hallmark of the American Dream is to own your own home. But half of Americans, especially millennials, don’t believe that goal is in reach. That sentiment might be true in your family as well. But what if there was a way you could change that story?
Tapping into home equity to help a family member buy their first home sets them up for a brighter future and gives them a head start on the path to their own generational wealth. Helping loved ones now means you get to enjoy the gift in action rather than hope an inheritance is used the right way. If you are just starting out on the real estate journey, check out some steps in this month’s piece you can take to begin building your own generational wealth. And please reach out to us if there is anything we can help you with! This month, we're providing some tips on how you can boost your curb appeal this spring. You may find that these simple actions will help you not only reduce your stress and overwhelm, but it may also help create positive relationships with your neighbors.
