Podcasts about home buying

Ed Lane led a “Scripting Friday” session focused on helping agents navigate holiday season real estate opportunities. He emphasized that the end of the year can be an ideal time for buyers, with motivated sellers, reduced competition, and favorable negotiating conditions. Ed encouraged agents to create urgency without pressure by highlighting benefits like potential tax deductions, flexible closing dates, and locking in current interest rates before the spring market surge. He also discussed smart negotiation tactics—advising agents to analyze each property individually, avoid lowball offers, and focus on crafting win-win terms. Ed reminded attendees that successful holiday deals come from education, empathy, and helping clients see both the emotional and financial advantages of acting now.

Falling rates are bringing new life to the market, giving homebuyers a stronger chance to qualify and negotiate with more confidence. If you've been keeping an eye on the housing market, you've probably noticed that things are finally starting to look a little better for buyers. Rates are easing, sellers are offering incentives again, and affordability is improving. Here's what's happening right now and what these trends could mean for you as a buyer. Interest rates are improving. Over the summer, mortgage rates hovered around 7.25%, but now they're sitting in the mid-6% range. That drop of about three-quarters of a point makes a big difference in monthly payments and overall affordability. Lower rates give more buyers the ability to qualify for financing, and even seeing a “6” instead of a “7” gives many buyers the confidence to start looking again. The fall market is shifting. Homes are spending a bit more time on the market, and we're starting to see price reductions that haven't been common in recent years. Sellers are also offering closing cost credits again. Buyers can use those funds to reduce out-of-pocket expenses or buy down their rate for a lower monthly payment. While the market isn't completely in favor of buyers yet, it's much more balanced than it has been. “Mortgage rates have dropped from the sevens to the mid-sixes, giving buyers more affordability and confidence to reenter the housing market.” Prepare early for the spring season. If you're planning to buy a home in the spring, now is the best time to prepare. Getting pre-approved early allows us to review your credit and finances and identify small changes that can improve your score and help you qualify for a better loan. We use a soft credit pull at this stage, so it doesn't affect your credit score. Taking these steps now helps you enter the spring market in a stronger position and ready to move quickly when the right home appears. What to expect next? No one can predict exactly what will happen with rates or the economy, but current trends suggest gradual improvement as we move into the new year. That means buyers who start preparing now could benefit from better conditions ahead. The coming months are shaping up to bring strong opportunities for buyers who prepare early. With rates improving and sellers offering more flexibility, now is the time to position yourself for success. Whether you're planning to buy your first home or make a move this spring, understanding these trends will help you make confident decisions. If you have any questions, you can call or text me at 952-212-3597 or email me at ChadandSara@edinarealty.com. We'll help you navigate the changing market so you can reach your homeownership goals with confidence.

On this episode of the podcast, Dr. Robert McClure of the James Madison Institute discusses the housing crisis, particularly affecting millennials and Gen-Z. McClure attributes the issue to government regulations and inflation, noting the median home buyer age has risen from 45 to 56 in just four years.Dr. McClure highlights Florida's efforts to reduce property taxes and streamline regulations, contrasting with California's strict regulations. He also discusses the impact of globalism on property ownership, emphasizing the importance of individual property rights.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Don't let a "clean" offer turn into a costly cancellation. I'm going over how to vet pre-approval letters and spot high-risk contingencies before you sign. Getting an offer on your home is a big moment. It feels like the finish line is finally in sight. But here's the truth: an accepted contract doesn't guarantee a smooth path to closing. Nearly one in four real estate deals falls apart before reaching the settlement table. That means thousands of sellers each year find themselves starting over after weeks of work and anticipation. Why does this happen, and how can you avoid becoming part of that statistic? Let's look at the five most common reasons buyers cancel a home sale and, more importantly, what you can do to keep your deal on track. 1. Home inspection issues. For most buyers, the home inspection is the first real stress test. They want reassurance that they're making a sound investment, not inheriting expensive problems. If the inspector uncovers roof damage, foundation cracks, or aging systems, buyers may react by asking for steep repairs or walking away entirely. Even small issues can snowball into doubt if they're not addressed openly. I recommend a pre-listing inspection. It gives you a clear picture of your home's condition and allows you to either make repairs or set expectations in advance. By being proactive, you reduce the chances of last-minute surprises derailing your deal. 2. Financing falls through. It's easy to assume that once a buyer is pre-approved, their loan is safe. Unfortunately, financing can fall through even late in the process. A job change, a new car loan, or an underwriting red flag can undo weeks of progress. When financing fails, sellers are left scrambling, often after already pulling their home off the market. To avoid this, I recommend requiring strong pre-approval letters from reputable lenders. Ask your agent to vet buyer qualifications carefully and keep contingency timelines short. The goal isn't just to attract buyers, but to attract buyers who are ready and able to close. “Most sales don't collapse because of price; they collapse because of surprises.” 3. Low appraisal. Appraisals can create another stumbling block. If an appraiser values your home below the contract price, the lender won't approve the full loan amount. The buyer then has to cover the gap in cash, or you, as the seller, must agree to lower your price. When neither side can bridge the difference, the deal may collapse. What you can do is price your home realistically from the start. Overpricing often leads to appraisal gaps and stressful renegotiations. A competitive, data-driven list price helps attract serious buyers who can follow through. 4. Cold feet or buyer's remorse. Sometimes the problem isn't financial, it's emotional. Buying a home is a big commitment, and buyers can get spooked. They may second-guess the decision, compare it to another property, or simply feel overwhelmed. While you can't control a buyer's emotions, you can keep the process steady. Clear timelines, consistent communication, and an experienced agent help maintain momentum. Deals that move forward with confidence are less likely to unravel. 5. Too many contingencies. Every contingency in a contract represents a potential exit point for the buyer. When a buyer says, “I'll buy if my current home sells,” or “I need six weeks for inspections,” or “My financing could take two months,” that's a red flag. The more conditions attached, the greater the risk of delays and cancellations. When accepting an offer, you need to remember that you shouldn't focus on price alone. A slightly lower offer with fewer contingencies can be more reliable than a higher one filled with strings. Strong, clean terms often lead to smoother closings. Getting under contract is exciting, but it's only half the journey. The real win is making it to the closing table with confidence and minimal stress. If you're thinking of selling, preparation is everything. Address potential inspection issues, evaluate buyer financing carefully, price strategically, and look closely at the terms of each offer, not just the numbers. When you take these steps, you reduce your risk of cancellations and set yourself up for a smooth, successful sale. If you're planning to sell, let's connect. Call or email me, and I'll help you prepare your home, review offers wisely, and avoid the most common deal-breakers that derail a sale. Let's make sure your next contract gets to the finish line.

Staging is a proven way to attract buyers, but it isn't one-size-fits-all. Let's look at when it pays off and when it might not. One of the most common questions I hear from homeowners is, “Should I stage my home before putting it on the market?” The honest answer? It depends. In some cases, staging can make a significant difference. In others, thoughtful preparation and presentation can go a long way on their own. The key is knowing when staging is worth the investment and how to do it smartly without overspending. Over the years, I've worked with all types of sellers. I've seen homes linger on the market because they felt dark, cluttered, or simply didn't connect with buyers. I've also seen homes that sold within days with no costly staging required because the seller took a few strategic, high-impact steps. At the end of the day, staging isn't about perfection; it's about helping buyers picture their own life in the space. That connection is what creates momentum and ultimately offers. When staging makes the most sense. There are a few situations where staging can make a major difference: • Vacant homes: Empty rooms can appear smaller and colder, making it hard for buyers to visualize the layout and scale.• Unusual layouts: If your home has a unique floor plan, staging can help show how each space functions.• Competitive markets: In areas where buyers have options, staging can help your home stand out. That said, full-scale professional staging isn't always necessary. Sometimes, light staging or thoughtful decor updates are enough, especially if your home is already well-maintained and in a hot market. “Staging is a tool, not a requirement. The key is knowing when it actually adds value.” Budget-friendly staging alternatives. Full staging packages can be pricey, but you don't need to go all-in to make your home shine. Here are a few practical, cost-effective steps that often deliver a strong return: • Declutter: Remove excess furniture and personal items to make rooms feel bigger and more neutral.• Depersonalize: Take down family photos and niche decor so buyers can focus on the home, not the current owner.• Add light: Swap dim bulbs for brighter ones, open curtains, and use mirrors to reflect natural light.• Fresh touches: Add inexpensive updates like a bowl of fresh fruit in the kitchen, new towels in the bathroom, or crisp bedding in the primary bedroom. If you're staging on a budget, focus on high-impact areas like the living room, kitchen, and main bedroom; those are the spaces buyers pay the most attention to. When staging may not be necessary. In some situations, staging won't dramatically affect your sale: • Low inventory markets: If demand is high and homes are selling quickly, staging may not move the needle.• Tight budget: If you're already pricing aggressively or investing in repairs, staging might not be the best use of resources.• Strong condition: If your home already shows well and photographs beautifully, a deep clean and light touch may be enough.• Staging is a tool, not a requirement. It works best when it's part of a thoughtful, strategic approach tailored to your home and your market So, should you stage your home before selling? If you want to sell quickly and for top dollar, some level of staging usually helps. But it doesn't have to be expensive or over-the-top. The right approach depends on your home, your timeline, and your market conditions. Thinking of selling and not sure where to start? Feel free to call or email me. I'd be happy to walk through your home, offer honest recommendations, and help you decide whether staging would add value in your case.

Before credit checks, down payments, or Zillow searches — the first step is deciding. In this kickoff to the 10-step Homebuying 101 series, David Sidoni breaks down the mindset every first-time homebuyer must have before any of the practical steps even matter. If you've been stuck renting, overwhelmed by myths, or waiting for “the right time,” this episode will change how you see yourself — and your ability to buy a home.SynopsisMost people think the first step to buying a home is financial — checking credit, saving money, or finding a realtor. But that's not where it starts. The first step is mental: deciding you're ready to take control of your future.David Sidoni, founder of How to Buy a Home, reveals why every first-time homebuyer's journey begins with a decision — a mindset shift that transforms fear into action. He exposes the biggest myths keeping renters stuck, from “you need 20% down” to “you can't buy with student loans,” and replaces them with real numbers, data, and proof from thousands of successful buyers.Listeners learn that education is the antidote to fear. Sidoni shows that understanding the process, not having perfect finances, is what separates dreamers from doers. Backed by six years of data, he proves that 72% of people who thought they were a year away from buying discovered they were ready far sooner — once they made the decision to start.By the end, this isn't just about houses or mortgages — it's about finally believing you can stop renting forever.Quote“Step one is decide — because none of the other nine steps mean a damn thing if you don't make that choice first.”— David Sidoni, How to Buy a Home PodcastHighlightsThe true first step isn't financial — it's mental.

Fall is in the air, and you know what that means? It's still a great time to search for that perfect house! As the leaves begin to change and the weather cools down, the real estate market stays active with fresh listings and motivated sellers. Whether you're cozying up to the idea of buying your first home or thinking about making a move before the holidays, autumn is a great time to explore your options and find that perfect place to settle in.  Learn more about Triangle's Mortgage programs Get started now with a Mortgage application Questions?

Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.  Home Buying can be a daunting task, especially if you've never gone through the process before. There are so many things associated with home buying that it can cause you to become quite anxious. Still, by following these steps, you'll have a more enjoyable experience on your journey to home ownership!   Step 1:  Get as educated as you can early in the process. Watch videos, listen to podcasts and explore articles and blogs on the subject of home ownership to get yourself familiar with as much as you can. Also, if you don't already have a realtor in mind, follow a couple of them on social media and see what they are posting about in terms of home ownership. Go to Facebook and type in "Realtor" followed by "in [your town.] For example, I might type in Realtor in Nashua, NH. A list of realtors in my area will appear. I wouldn't reach out yet. This is more to get a feel for their posts and gain some valuable insight.    Step 2:  Once you feel ready to start the process, it's time to get pre-approved. In today's market, being well-prepared is key, and that includes having your finances in order. To be financially ready, you'll want to have little to no debt, an emergency fund, and a down payment, typically anywhere from 3.5% -20 % of the purchase price. The more you put down, the less your monthly payment will be. For a pre-approval, Triangle Credit Union offers tailored programs to meet your needs, so don't hesitate to reach out if you are within our area. We're here to support you every step of the way!   Step 3:  Find the right realtor for you. I am sure you know someone who has purchased a home before.. Ask them who they worked with and how their experience was! They will give you a first-hand account of the process and will be happy to recommend their agent to you. If you can't get someone to recommend a realtor, go back to Facebook and check out the ones you followed in step 1, and consider reaching out to two or three. Interview them and see if one of them meets your needs! Ask ALL of the questions you have! Remember, they work for you!   Step 4:   Visit open houses and make an offer on the home that catches your eye. Houses go on the market on Monday, and within a few hours, private showings are scheduled, and in some cases, offers are being made above the asking price! If you find a home you love, make a firm offer and keep your fingers crossed. But if your offer isn't accepted, don't lose heart! Your dream home is out there, waiting for you to discover it!    Step 5:  Once your offer is accepted, it's time for the Home Inspection. A home inspection of the property is a thorough walk-through by a licensed professional to check for signs of structural damage or things that may need fixing. This includes checking the foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical systems, and more. Your real estate agent will usually help you arrange this within a few days of the seller accepting your offer. This process protects you by giving you a chance to renegotiate your offer or withdraw it without penalty if the inspection reveals significant material damage. Both you and the seller will receive a report on the home inspector's findings.    Step 6:  Have the Home Appraised. Your lender will arrange for an appraiser to provide an independent estimate of the value of the house you are buying. The appraisal will let all the parties involved know that you are paying a fair price for the home. The lender's interest in this process is to ensure that the property is worth the amount they are lending you. And Finally….    Step 7: Congratulations! It's time to close on your home purchase. At closing, you will sign all the paperwork required to complete the purchase, including your loan documents. Once this happens, the loan is finalized, a check is delivered to the seller, and you're done. You are ready to move into your new home!   While there are plenty of other things to know and consider, this is a macro-level idea of how the process works. The most important thing is to do your research, as I mentioned in Step 1, and find yourself a realtor who will guide you through this process. Remember, while the home-buying journey ends at the closing, it's really just the beginning. Your new home is ready to be filled with countless memories for years to come, and that's something to look forward to!    Do you have any additional tips or advice that will help our listeners with this topic or other financial matters? Email us at TCUPodcast@trianglecu.org or look for Triangle on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to share your thoughts.   Thanks for listening to today's Money Tip Tuesday and be sure to listen to our other tips and episodes on the making money personal podcast.   Have a great day!

Your 60-second money minute. Today's topic: Is The Home Buying Market Turning

A couple turns a rent hike into a homeownership strategy, navigating relocation, pregnancy, and smart financial planning to land a 1923 farmhouse in Maryland.Chris and Niki's journey from Manhattan renters to first-time homeowners shows how strategy, timing, and teamwork can overcome the high costs of living in expensive markets. After learning their $2,900 Manhattan rent was set to jump to $3,800, they began planning to redirect that money into equity. A relocation to Silver Spring, Maryland, brought lower rent and proximity to work, but it was Niki's pregnancy that accelerated their timeline. With $300,000 saved, they split funds between a $150,000 down payment and $150,000 for renovations, ultimately purchasing a 1923 farmhouse for $675,000—$100,000 below asking. Smart lease planning, family carpentry help, and a unicorn real estate team made the process smoother and more affordable.“Get a unicorn team, rely on them, ask questions. They will point you in the right direction.” - ChrisHighlightsHow a rent jump from $2,900 to $3,800 sparked a rent replacement strategy.Why the perfect home doesn't exist—and how to prioritize what matters most.The benefits of open houses for clarifying wants versus needs.What it's like to accelerate homebuying while expecting a baby.How $300,000 in savings was split between down payment and renovations.A unique negotiation strategy that reduced the final purchase price by $100,000.The role family expertise played in making an older home purchase feasible.Why a unicorn team was key to their success.Referenced Episodes350 - From ‘Years Away' to Homeowner: Your Last Lease Ever382 - 2025 Crucial Housing Market Shift Pt 1: Rates383 - 2025 Crucial Housing Market Shift Pt 2: Sales, Inventory & Affordability384 - 2025 Crucial Housing Market Shift Pt 3: Rent Math & Buying PowerConnect with me to find a trusted realtor in your area or to answer your burning questions!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel @HowToBuyaHomeInstagram @HowtoBuyAHomePodcastTik Tok @HowToBuyAHomeVisit our Resource Center to "Ask David" AND get your FREE Home Buying Starter Kit!David Sidoni, the "How to Buy a Home Guy," is a seasoned real estate professional and consumer advocate with two decades of experience helping first-time homebuyers navigate the real estate market.
