Feds Slash Interest Rates: What Does It Mean For You

US Federal Reserve makes first interest rate cut in four years

The rates shot up to 7.2% in May, but since then they have dropped a full point.  We believe rates will continue to drop heading into 2025

So what does this mean for you as far as the housing market is concerned?

Well, first and foremost it will make borrowing more affordable for you.

The long awaited rate cut will certainly stimulate economic growth especially within the housing market which is currently experiencing low inventory and buyers who are hesitant.

The cut will very likely prompt more people to list their homes and more buyers to enter the marketplace.

This does mean if you are in the market for wanting to purchase a home it will become more competitive with multiple offers on a single home due to the lack of inventory.

Bottom line you have to be ready to close even before you start the process buying a home. Make sure you have that mortgage pre-approved and ready to put an offer in.

How to Successfully Flip a House: Tips and Tricks from the Pros

House flipping, the practice of buying a property, renovating it, and selling it for a profit, has become a popular investment strategy.

However, it's not without its challenges. Successful house flipping requires careful planning, smart investing, and an eye for detail.

Finding the Right Property

The foundation of a successful house flip is finding the right property. This involves research, analysis, and sometimes a bit of luck. Here are key steps to guide you in selecting the best property for flipping:

Research the Market

Understanding the local real estate market is crucial. Look for neighborhoods with rising property values, low crime rates, and good schools. These areas are more likely to attract buyers and yield higher returns.

Pro Tip: Use online tools like Zillow, Redfin, and local real estate websites to track market trends and property values. Attend local real estate meetups and network with agents to gain insights into emerging neighborhoods.

Set a Budget

Determine how much you can afford to spend on purchasing and renovating the property. This budget should include the cost of the home, renovation expenses, holding costs (like utilities and property taxes), and a buffer for unexpected expenses.

Pro Tip: A common rule of thumb is the 70% rule. This means you should pay no more than 70% of the after-repair value (ARV) of the property, minus repair costs. For example, if the ARV is $200,000 and repairs cost $30,000, you should pay no more than $110,000 for the property.
