The Best Way To Keep Track of Mortgage Rate Trends

By

If you’re thinking about buying a home, chances are you’ve got mortgage rates on your mind. You’ve heard about how they impact how much you can afford in your monthly mortgage payment, and you want to make sure you’re factoring that in as you plan your move.

The problem is, with all the headlines in the news about rates lately, it can be a bit overwhelming to sort through. Here’s a quick rundown of what you really need to know.

The Latest on Mortgage Rates

Rates have been volatile – that means they’re bouncing around a bit. And, you may be wondering, why? The answer is complicated because rates are affected by so many factors.

Things like what’s happening in the broader economy and the job market, the current inflation rate, decisions made by the Federal Reserve, and a whole lot more have an impact. Lately, all of those factors have come into play, and it’s caused the volatility we’ve seen. As Odeta Kushi, Deputy Chief Economist at First American, explains:

“Ongoing inflation deceleration, a slowing economy and even geopolitical uncertainty can contribute to lower mortgage rates. On the other hand, data that signals upside risk to inflation may result in higher rates.”

Professionals Can Help Make Sense of it All

While you could drill down into each of those things to really understand how they impact mortgage rates, that would be a lot of work. And when you’re already busy planning a move, taking on that much reading and research may feel a little overwhelming. Instead of spending your time on that, lean on the pros.

They coach people through market conditions all the time. They’ll focus on giving you a quick summary of any broader trends up or down, what experts say lies ahead, and how all of that impacts you.

Take this chart as an example. It gives you an idea of how mortgage rates impact your monthly payment when you buy a home. Imagine being able to make a payment between $2,500 and $2,600 work for your budget (principal and interest only). The green part in the chart shows payments in that range or lower based on varying mortgage rates (see chart below):

No Caption Received

As you can see, even a small shift in rates can impact the loan amount you can afford if you want to stay within that target budget.

It’s tools and visuals like these that take everything that’s happening and show what it actually means for you. And only a pro has the knowledge and expertise needed to guide you through them.

You don’t need to be an expert on real estate or mortgage rates, you just need to have someone who is, by your side.

Bottom Line

Downsize Your Home, Rightsize Your Life: How to Choose the Ideal Home

By

downsize your home right size your life

When you’ve lived somewhere for many years, it can be tough to say goodbye and in some cases, the thought of moving seems overwhelming. But if you (or a loved one) currently have a home that is bigger than necessary or is too high maintenance, it may be time to trade unused square footage for a smaller, more manageable space.

Take it from the downsizers who’ve been there: Although living small might require some adjustments, it can also be liberating––especially if you’re in a stage of life where past responsibilities have given way to new possibilities and adventures. 

In fact, many downsizers report feeling invigorated by the change, according to real estate journalist and author Sheri Koones. “It scares people to think of moving into a smaller space,” said Koones to the Associated Press. “But every single person I interviewed who has made the transition says they are so happy they did.”1

The key is to find somewhere you can live well and move around comfortably, without feeling overly restricted. If you like the idea of aging in place or are already in your golden years, you may also want to look for signs that a new home can conveniently age with you.

With that in mind, we recommend focusing your search around three key factors: desired lifestyle, optimal design, and long-term accessibility. Read on for specific tips, then call us for a free consultation. We can help you identify the types of homes that are best suited to living large with less.

Do you have a loved one whose housing needs have changed?
Share this information to help start a conversation about the benefits of downsizing.

DESIRED LIFESTYLE

The best part of downsizing is the lifestyle you unlock when you trade square footage for convenience. With fewer chores and home maintenance tasks to worry about, you can instead channel your energy into other pursuits.

For example, instead of spending your afternoons working in the yard or cleaning, you can catch up on the news, read a bestseller, start a new craft project, or pursue other hobbies. You may even be able to travel or spend more time with friends and family.

Research shows that individuals over the age of 65 report more life satisfaction when they have the opportunity to spend time around children, talk with friends, socialize in community centers, volunteer, or engage in hobbies. But that can be hard to do regularly when you’ve got a home that needs constant attention or you live far from your community.2

As you compare potential homes, keep in mind the type of lifestyle you envision. Do you plan to travel? If so, a home with extra security, such as a condominium or gated community, may give you some welcome peace of mind. Or do you plan to have friends and family stay overnight? In that case, you may want to look for a floor plan with flex space or a property that has access to separate guest suites.

Alternatively, a senior community that offers catered meals and housekeeping may be a better choice if you or a spouse need extra support.

Action item: Grab a pen and take some time to envision what your ideal future might look like. Write down the activities and hobbies you hope to add to your life or continue with going forward, as well as the chores and responsibilities you’d love to drop. We can use those answers to help shape your house hunt.

OPTIMAL DESIGN

Even though your new home will be smaller, that doesn’t mean it has to feel cramped. As Koones explains, “The key is to have a home that is efficiently designed, both in terms of energy use and in terms of space.”1

Look for features that can help make a space feel bigger, like high ceilings, large windows, and an open layout.

Built-in shelving that extends all of the way to the ceiling can also make a small room feel more expansive by helping to draw the eye upward. The same goes for highly placed window treatments and striped or mural-style wallpaper, says interior designer, Kati Greene Curtis. “You’ll feel like you’re walking into the scene,” said Curtis to the Washington Post.3

Efficient layouts with flexible, multi-purpose rooms and few, if any, hallways work especially well for small-scale living. You can also limit dead space in a home by steering clear of layouts with awkward corners, unusable nooks, and other space-eating design elements.

In addition, look for features that support a simpler, lower-maintenance lifestyle, such as easy-care floors, durable countertops, and bare walls with little, if any, crown molding.

Don’t write off a home too soon, though, if it feels narrow or congested because of outdated design or poor staging. Cosmetic issues that visually shrink a space are often easy to fix.

For example, you can instantly make a room feel bigger just by painting it a lighter shade. Adding mirrors and swapping out heavy curtains for sheer ones can also be effective. Plus, utilizing multipurpose furniture with hidden storage is a great way to maximize space.

Action item: Make a note of your must-keep furniture and other items. Then pull out a measuring tape and write down the dimensions. Once it’s time to visit homes, we’ll have a more accurate sense of what will fit and how much space you’ll need.

To get your creative juices flowing, you may also want to flip through some design magazines that specialize in compact living or catalogs that feature space-saving furniture and accessories. If you give us a list of your favorite features, we can use it to pinpoint homes that are a good match.

LONG-TERM ACCESSIBILITY

Buying a home that you can age well in can be a great way to boost your health prospects and happiness. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), homeowners who age in place instead of in an institutional environment not only save money over time, but also enjoy greater health and emotional benefits.4

Aging in place is also popular. According to survey findings from the National Poll on Healthy Aging, the vast majority of adults between the ages of 50 and 80 would prefer to age in their own homes.5

But even though many adults want to age in place, only 34% of surveyed adults currently live in a home with the features to make it possible.5

If you’re already in the second half of your life, then it’s smart to prioritize accessibility now, even if you’re highly mobile.

Choosing an accessible home will improve your odds of staying put for longer. Plus, you never know when you might need an accessible light switch, handrails in the bathroom, or a seat in the shower, says Sheri Koones. “Yes, older people with disabilities need them, but even younger people break a leg skiing, or have situations where they want a barrier-free shower.”1 

As you consider your options, try to imagine what your needs might be as you get older and be proactive in identifying potential obstacles, recommends the National Council on Aging (NCOA).6

For example, a single-level home or one with wide enough stairs for a stair lift or access to an elevator may be a more practical choice than a home with lots of narrow stairs. Alternatively, a home with at least one ground-level bedroom and bathroom may also work well for you.

Consider your needs outside the home, as well: If you frequently visit the doctor, grocery store, or community center, for example, then you may benefit from choosing a property nearby.

Action item: Review the checklist below, adapted from the National Institute on Aging’s home safety worksheet, or download the full version from the agency’s website.7 Highlight the items that are most important to you. We can reference these guidelines as we consider potential homes and suggest ways to adapt a property to meet your current or future requirements.

HOME SAFETY CHECKLIST 7
– If a walker or wheelchair is needed, can the entrances to the house be modified — perhaps by putting in a ramp to the front door?
– Are there any tripping hazards at exterior entrances or inside the house?
– Are the hallways and doorways wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair if needed?
– Does the home have at least one ground-floor bedroom and bathroom?
– Are there any staircases, and if so, could they accommodate a stair lift?
– Is the house well-lit, inside and out, particularly at the top and bottom of stairs?
– Could handrails be installed on both sides of the staircase?
– Is there at least one stairway handrail that extends beyond the first and last steps on each flight of stairs?
– Are outdoor steps sturdy and textured to prevent falls in wet or icy weather?
– Are there grab bars near toilets and in the tub or shower?
– Have a shower stool and hand-held shower head been installed to make bathing easier?
– Is the water heater set at 120° F to avoid scalding tap water?
– Are there safety knobs and an automatic shut-off switch on the stove?
– Have smoke and carbon monoxide alarms been installed near the kitchen and in all bedrooms?
– Are there secure locks on all outside doors and windows?

    BOTTOM LINE

We can help you strategize your next move and identify the best new home for you—whether that’s a smaller home for rent or another one to call your own. We take pride in offering a full-service real estate experience and assisting our clients through all stages of the real estate journey.

    Quick Video Update of the Scottsdale Real Estate Market – March 2024

    By

    – March 2024 Scottsdale Housing Market Video –

    Here is a quick video overview of the Scottsdale, Arizona single-family home real estate market that covers the month of March.

    March 2024 – Video

    Scottsdale Active Listings

    Scottsdale active listings March 2024

    Inventory saw a small dip between the end of March and the end of February. However, there are quite a few more homes for sale than this time last year.

    The number of homes for sale was 1,234. This is down 0.5.0% over February and up 14.3% when compared to March of 2023.

    Average List Price for Scottsdale Homes

    Scottsdale average list price March 2024

    I used to use median listing price data, but I no longer have accurate access to that information. So, I have started to track average listing prices. (Technically, the median price is a better indicator since the average price can skew one way or the other due to extremely low or extremely high list prices, but this will still give you a decent idea of the prices of homes in Scottsdale.)

    Scottsdale’s average list price was up again in March to $2,586,036. This is up 1.3% over the previous month. When comparing March 2024 to 2023, prices were up 11.4%.

    Days on Market

    Scottsdale days on market March 2024

    Days on Market is a metric that shows the health of a market. Often referred to as DOM, it uses the number of days it takes a home to sell. When it takes many days for homes to sell, the market is slow. And when homes selling in a fewer number of days, the market is hotter.

    Scottsdale’s Days on Market in March was 69. This is down 5.8% from February and down 13% when compared to March 2023.

    Average Sales Price for Scottsdale Homes

    Scottsdale average sales price March 2024

    The average sales price continues to climb as home values increase.

    In March, Scottsdale’s average sales price was just over $1.55 million. This is up 5.4% from the previous month and up 12.7% year-over- year.

    Number of Homes Sold

    Scottsdale homes sold March 2024

    Home sales were up in March, which makes sense since this is Scottsdale’s high season.

    There were 345 home sales over the month, which was 6.1% higher than last month. However, sales were down 20.9% when compared to March 2023.

    We hope that you found this video and commentary helpful as you gather more information to make smart informed real estate decisions.

    Scottsdale AZ Single Family Home Sales – March 2024

    By

    – March 2024 Scottsdale Homes for Sale and Home Sales –

    Now that it is the high season, we are seeing lots of sales activity in Scottsdale. Inventory, contracts and sales were all up.

    SCOTTSDALE HOME SALES ACTIVITY –  MARCH 2024

    Each month, we look at the following four items related to home sales:

    – Single-family homes for sale – Orange Line – How many homes were on the market at the end of the month.
    – Under contract, but accepting backup offers (UCB) – Gray Line – The number of UCB contracts there were at the end of the month.
    – Pending home sales – Yellow Line – How many pending sales there were at the end of the month.*
    – Home Sales – Blue Line – How many homes sold during the month.

    MARCH 2024 RESULTS

    Scottsdale homes for sale March 2024
    • Scottsdale Homes for Sale: Inventory fell slightly by the end of the month. However, the fact that there are generally more homes on the market is good news for buyers.
    • UCB (Under contract, accepting backup offers): At the end of the month, Scottsdale posted its highest number of UCB contracts in the past year. This figure was up 11.8% over February.
    • Pending Homes Sales in Scottsdale: The number of pending sales increased for the third month in a row. We are still at a lower level than we were at a similar time last year, but with the contracts in the pipeline, we may see a bump up in April.

    This next section includes two more sales metrics we track:

    Should I Move with Today’s Mortgage Rates?

    By

    When mortgage rates spiked up over the last few years, some homeowners put their plans to move on pause. Maybe you did too because you didn’t want to sell and take on a higher mortgage rate for your next home. But is that still the right strategy for you?

    In today’s market, data shows more homeowners are getting used to where rates are and thinking it may be time to move. As Mark Zandi, Chief Economist at Moody’s Analytics, explains:

    “Listings are up a bit as life events and job changes are putting increasing pressure on locked-in homeowners to sell their homes. Homeowners may also be slowly coming to the realization that mortgage rates aren’t going back anywhere near the rate on their existing mortgage.”

    A recent study from Bank of America sheds light on some of the things homeowners say would make them sell, even with rates where they are right now (see visual below):

    What Would Motivate You To Move?

    Now that you know why other people would move, take a minute to think about what would make a move worth it for you. Is it time to take a chance and go for your dream job, even though it’s not local? Are you looking for a neighborhood that has more to offer and a close-knit sense of community? Maybe you just need more space, you’re looking for your next great adventure, or you want a house that opens up rental opportunities to pad your income.

    And here’s something else to consider. Mortgage rates are still expected to go down over the course of the year. And once that happens, there’s going to be a big rush of buyers jumping back into the market. While you could delay your plans until rates drop, you’ll only have more competition with those buyers if you do.

    So, does that mean it’s worth it to move now, even with rates where they are? The answer is: that it depends.

    You’ll want to consider today’s mortgage rates, where they’re expected to go from here, and what would prompt you to want to make a change as you decide on your next steps. An expert can help with that. 

    Bottom Line

    Other homeowners are getting used to rates and deciding to move. Let’s chat to go over what matters most to you and if it’s time for you to jump back into the market too.
