One of the biggest hurdles buyers have faced over the past few years has been a lack of homes available for sale. But that’s starting to change. Context is important. On the one hand, inventory is up over the past few years. That means you’ll likely have more options to choose from as you search for your next home. But, at the same time, the graph above also shows there are still significantly fewer homes for sale than there would usually be in a more normal, pre-pandemic market. And that deficit isn’t going to be reversed overnight.

Has the idea of sharing a home with loved ones like your grandparents, parents, or other relatives crossed your mind? If so, you’re not alone.

If you’re thinking about buying a home, pre-approval is a crucial part of the process you definitely don’t want to skip.

Buying and owning your own home can have a big impact on your life. While there are financial reasons to become a homeowner, it’s essential to think about the non-financial benefits that make a home more than just a place to live.
The way Americans work has changed in recent years, and remote work is at the forefront of this shift. Experts say it’ll continue to be popular for years to come and project that 36.2 million Americans will be working remotely by 2025. To give you some perspective, that’s a 417% increase compared to the pre-pandemic years when there were just 7 million remote workers.
If you’re in the market to buy a home, working remotely either full or part-time is a game-changer. It can help you overcome some of today’s affordability and housing inventory challenges, as well as open up career opportunities outside your existing community.
