More entry-level homes – also known as starter homes – are popping up on the market.

Data shows 7 out of 10 prospective homebuyers don’t know the minimum credit score required by lenders or that it varies by lender and loan type.

When planning a move, a newly built home might not be the first thing that comes to mind.

Should you buy a home now or should you wait? That’s a question a lot of people have these days.

Believe it or not, almost 80% of first-time homebuyers qualify for down payment assistance, but only 13% actually use it.

When you’re thinking about buying a home, your credit score is one of the biggest pieces of the puzzle.

In life, patience is a virtue – but in the world of homebuying, waiting too long in hopes of finding the perfect home actually isn’t wise.

There’s no denying it’s gotten more challenging to buy a home, especially with today’s mortgage rates and home price appreciation.

If homeownership is on your goal sheet for your future, you’re probably working on your savings.
