The pendulum is shifting towards a buyer’s market, which means sellers need to make their properties stand out among the competition. One of the best ways to do that is to make sure your home is staged appropriately. According to the 2023 Profile of Home Staging by the National Association of REALTORS, 58% of buyer’s agents said home staging had an effect on most buyers’ view of the home and 81% of buyers’ agents said staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home.

You’ve decided it’s time to purchase either your first home or make the move to a new one, but there are so many financing options out there it can make your head spin.

A larger down payment has many benefits such as lower monthly mortgage payments, avoid paying mortgage insurance (PMI), better interest rates, and a lower debt-to-income ratio.
