Payment Myths First-Time Homebuyers

Dispelling Down Payment Myths for First-Time Homebuyers

Embarking on the journey to purchase your first home can seem overwhelming, particularly when it comes to saving for the various expenses involved, notably the down payment. You might have heard the common belief that you need to set aside 20% of the home’s purchase price for the down payment. However, this isn’t always the case.

Unless stipulated by your loan type or lender, it’s typically not obligatory to provide a 20% down payment. This means you could be closer to achieving your dream of homeownership than you realize.

As stated by The Mortgage Reports:

“While putting down 20% to avoid mortgage insurance is advisable if feasible, it’s a misconception that this is always mandatory. In reality, most individuals opt for a significantly lower down payment.”

According to data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the median down payment hasn’t exceeded 20% since 2005. In fact, for all homebuyers today, it averages only 15%, with first-time buyers typically putting down just 8% (see graph below):

a graph of a number of blue squares

Exploring Available Resources to Aid Your Homebuying Journey

In addition to down payment assistance programs, such as the over 2,000 programs offered across the U.S. according to Down Payment Resource, various loan options can provide support. For instance, FHA loans allow down payments as low as 3.5%, while VA and USDA loans have no down payment requirements for eligible applicants.

To uncover what you qualify for, consult with your loan officer or broker. They are knowledgeable about local grants and loan programs that can assist you.

Don’t let the misconception that a 20% down payment is mandatory hinder your progress toward homeownership. Rely on professionals to help you discover resources that can turn your dreams into reality. Waiting until you’ve saved 20% may actually be more costly in the long term. According to U.S. Bank:

“There are numerous reasons why achieving a 20% down payment might not be feasible. For some, delaying until they’ve saved up 20% may incur too much time. While you’re saving for your down payment and paying rent, the price of your future home may increase.”

Home prices are projected to continue rising over the next 5 years, meaning delaying your purchase could result in a higher purchase price. Leveraging available resources to buy now allows you to benefit from future price appreciation, building equity rather than incurring additional costs.

Check out the journey of a first-time homebuyer as they navigate the real estate market with REMAX agent Danielle Edwards, in the insightful TV show segment.

In Conclusion

Remember, you don’t always require a 20% down payment to purchase a home. If you’re considering making a move this year, let’s connect to initiate discussions about your homeownership goals.

Charlote Real Estate Market Forecast 2023

Charlotte Real Estate Market Forecast

2023-2022 home sales across the Charlotte region trend back to 2019 levels.

Article by Canopy Realtor Association shared by Danielle Edwards

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — At the end of 2022, existing-home sales across the 16-county Charlotte region declined 15.3 percent year-over-year, as 50,286 homes sold across the region last year. The region had approximately 9,300 more home sales in 2021 than in 2022, which included 12 consecutive months of year-over-year declines. 2022’s sales were on par with sales at the end of 2019, which was a healthier year of sales, due to the overall pace of the market and amount of inventory. There were 3,0

65 closed sales during the month of December 2022 throughout the region, which is down 37.7 percent year-over-year. Sales included in this report, come from Canopy MLS and include single-family and condo-townhome data only, for the 16-county region.

A gauge of buyer interest, pending contracts, fell throughout the year and totaled 47,477 houses under contract, a 20.5 percent decline from contract activity in 2021.. In part because the FED increased interest rates in response to inflationary pressure during 2022, buyers withdrew from the market. Contract activity reached a low point in December with 2,472 homes signing contracts, a decline of 32.4 percent from the previous year. Contract activity is typically a forward-looking indicator and a good predictor of future sales.

 

“Our region has experienced a tremendous amount of growth over the last year, even though year-over-year sales activity didn’t reach the level of activity we saw during the height of the pandemic,” said Tiffany Johannes, the 2023 president of Canopy Realtor® Association/Canopy MLS and Realtor®/Broker-In-Charge with RE/MAX Executive Ballantyne. We observed a return to a relatively healthier timing and pace of activity during most of last year and will continue to do so because 2021 was an outlier and an unhealthy market. If there’s any good news, it’s that the slower pace of sales should let inventory increase and possibly provide purchasers more options later this spring.

Year-end statistics reveal that with 57,973 residences posted during the year, new listing activity—which is a proxy for seller activity—was down 10% from 2021. During the month of December sellers listed 2,418 homes for sale, a 31.3 percent year-over-year decline. As buyers pulled back last year, seller activity also declined.

 

 

Inventory had 6,479 homes posted for sale as of report time on January 5, 2023. A 54 percent increase from the 4,206 homes for sale at the same time last year. Months of supply rose 100% to 1.6 months, indicating that the area is still in a seller’s market. That is far from being balanced at six months of supply. Prices continued to rise year-over-year in December.

The average sales price was $444,600 for the entire year. It was up 14.9% from the previous year, and the median sales price was $379,890. The initial list price to sales price ratio rose to 99.7%. As a result of sellers continuing to be able to sell their houses for virtually their full asking price. Only for the month of December, the median sales price ($373,625) and average sales price ($436,920). Then both grew by 6.8 and 7.3 percent over the prior year. The percentage of original list price to sales price in December dropped further, to 94.7 percent.

The property market’s slowing down is just one of many indicators that point to a recession this year. This is according to many experts, Johannes added. But buyers need to understand that a recession doesn’t necessarily equate to home prices falling. Rates are anticipated to fall further. As inflation continues to reduce, even if the era of rates of 3% is probably over. Housing would be crucial to an economic recovery, according to our current outlook, and any recession would be minor.

Time on market across the region showed homes sold quickly throughout 2022, leaving buyers little time for negotiation.  List to close averaged 77 days last year compared to 73 days in 2021. The metric that accrues for “Active” and “Under-contract-show” statuses, showed homes averaged 22 days on market in 2022. It was compared to 19 days on market in 2021.  However, on December, List to Close increased from 75 days in 2021 to 99 days in 2022. And while days on market in December, increased from 20 days in 2021 to 41 days in 2022.

Charlotte Real Estate Agent Danielle Edwards

“Charlotte, NC and the Carolinas in general rank among the top 5 States where people are moving to. Not only that many experts rank Charlotte, NC as the market to watch in 2023. Charlotte Real Estate Agent, Danielle Edwards with RE/MAX EXECUTIVE has seen buyers that have been on the sidelines starting to resurface. It is really hard to tell what our market is like. This is because like most areas we experience a seasonal slow down this time of year.
2021 was an unhealthy market, and now it is about re-educating sellers on how to price their home properly, and education buyers on ways to still win.

When I meet with new buyers I don’t just meet them at a house. I sit with them in my office and we go over their wants and needs, the different areas, and how to strategize a game plan that will have their house search here in Charlotte, NC be affective.”

Relocating From New Jersey to the Carolinas – Thank You, Danielle!

by

Relocating From New Jersey to the Carolinas – Thank you, Danielle!

Selling gorgeous homes in beautiful areas can be a lot of fun as a real estate agent. But my clients are what makes real estate fulfilling. Meet Kelly. I helped her on her journey, relocating from New Jersey to the Carolinas. Kelly had a list of specific needs as a mom to three kids. She wanted to be close to friends they knew in the area and needed space for her husband to have an office. Kelly also needed to live in a place where she could help relocate her extended family from NJ soon. Not only did we find Kelly the house of her dreams, but we also set her up with all of the information and resources she needed to make the Carolinas feel like home — and I made a new friend to boot!

Listen to Kelly’s client testimonial here:

Three Reasons You Should Consider Relocating to the Carolinas.

Those who already live in the South know the advantages of planting roots here. There is a lot to love about the South: mild temperatures, four seasons, spacious homes, lower taxes, affordable living, and quick getaways to the beaches and mountains. Here’s why so many Northerners are moving down South.

1. Affordability

If you’re spending a ton of your hard-earned money on housing, utilities, and taxes up North–and without a decent yard–you may want to consider relocating from New Jersey to the Charlotte, NC, area. The cost of living in the South is the #1 reason people choose to relocate here. If you’re making a $100k salary in New York City, you’ll only need to earn $40k a year to maintain the same standard of living in Charlotte, NC! Everything, from housing to childcare to dining, is less expensive in the South.

2. The Weather

We all know the #2 reason northerners relocate to Charlotte, NC is the weather! You’ll be hooked once you’ve lived a full year in this beautiful area. Yes, the South can get hot, but Charlotte is closer to the mid-Atlantic, giving you some protection against the hottest climates of the South. Thankfully, we boast some of the best coastlines and pool companies in the country, making it easy to stay cool in the heat down here.

And the fall and winter months are sure to make up for those Vitamin-D-filled summers. You may get a few inches of snow, but you can throw away your shovel because the sun will melt it in the morning! And you like fall leaves, you say? Well, enjoy the beautiful scenery in Charlotte and the NC Mountains — boasting some of the most vibrant fall colors in the country.

3. ROOM to Stretch 

It’s no surprise that you’ll find bigger homes on larger lots in the South. Those extra square feet can prove necessary with a growing family or a permanent remote worker in the home. With the average list price of a house in Charlotte at $410k in October 2022, Charlotte still has a lower cost per square foot than up North, so you get more house for less money. And it’s more than your own home. Charlotte has less traffic and congestion and more green space and parks to inhale. And exhale.

Are there more reasons to move to Charlotte, NC? Absolutely! Let’s not forget the mouth-watering southern cuisine. Or the proximity to endless getaways, from the breathtaking NC and SC beaches to the charming mountain towns of NC, VA, and TN. If you want more reasons to chat about your specific needs, I’m here to help you start your next adventure in the South.

If you want help getting to know this area – let’s talk!

5501 SUNSTAR CT – CHEROKEE – SOUTH CHARLOTTE

by

5501 SUNSTAR CT – CHEROKEE – SOUTH CHARLOTTE

Presenting 5501 Sunstar Ct in Cherokee of South Charlotte. This luxury home exudes Old English charm, and is situated on a quiet cul-de-sac. This picturesque home was custom built and designed by the former homeowner, who was an architect. The current owners gave it a luxurious facelift with top-of-the-line design choices and a keen eye that make this home an “Ace”. The kitchen was opened up to give you that open-floor plan and replaced with all the items you fancy — Bosch, Level 5 Granite.

A few of the standouts include a bonus room over the 3-car garage, the side-screened porch, and the low-maintenance backyard with a new deck and patio pavers! Updates include new HVAC systems, two water heaters, gutter guards, vapor barrier (see update sheet), third-floor walk-up attic space for storage and much more. Don’t miss the workshop space back of the house to store your toys. Enjoy a welcoming community with gatherings at the pool or clubhouse.

If you appreciate the finer details in a home and solid craftsmanship this home will not disappoint.  The picture truly do not do it justice.

Weddington, North Carolina is a sprawling suburb of Charlotte, NC.  This area has a beautiful rural vibe and you will frequent passing beautiful properties with horses, goats, mansions to quaint farms.  The area is bustling with people moving here from all over that can work from home or commute into the Charlotte area.  Easy access to Waxhaw, Fort Mill, Indian Land and Indian Trail.  It is no wonder this is the hottest suburb of the Charlotte NC area and why homes here are selling in days with multiple offers … way over list price.

Communities in Weddington, NC give you a lot of options.  There are several high-end luxury communities like High Gate, Providence Downs, Longview Country Club and Firethorne Country Club.  Here you wil find all the amenities you come to expect from choosing to live in a “larger” community.  However, small enclaves like my listing at “The Retreat” provide options for those who prefer their own privacy and a little slice of heaven to beat to their own drum.
