Key terms in today’s housing market

July 23, 2021 by Russ

The language of buying and selling a home may sound scary at first, but knowing how key terms relate to today’s market can help you. For example, current low mortgage rates and higher wages positively impact affordability for buyers, while home price appreciation continues to grow home equity, which sellers can use to fuel a move up.

Terms like appraisal (what lenders rely on to validate a home’s value) and contingencies (which buyers can minimize to make their offer stand out) directly impact the transaction.

TESTIMONIALS

"Best in the business! We have used Russ to purchase our winter home in Arizona and soon realized we wanted to upgrade to a larger full time forever home! Alas, Russ worked his magic and found our dream home. Russ is truly one of the best agents we have ever worked with. He is knows this market and we never felt pressure to make a purchase on a house that was not quite what we were looking for. I can’t recommend him highly enough."
- Pam H., Quail Creek
"Russ did a great job on taking us through the process of purchasing our new home. He is an excellent Realtor who smoothly managed our purchasing requests with fellow agents. He knows what needs to be done and worked hard to keep the process on track. He also used his list of resources to schedule home and pool inspections in a timely manner. Russ also walked us through the more challenging action of acquiring the sellers solar panel loan; a potentially lengthy process. Also, Russ was easy to contact and always got back to us immediately with accurate answers to our questions. His use of technology to officially sign documents was extremely helpful. Based upon our statement of needs, Russ was able to take us to homes that we felt would work well for us. My wife and I both highly recommend Russ Fortuno as an agent for any home buyer in the Green Valley and Quail Creek area."
- Wayne D., Quail Creek
"I had a great experience with Russ during the purchase of this home. He was knowledgeable and very prompt in replies to questions. He shared his knowledge about the home, this community as well as the real estate market overall. He assisted me in narrowing my search. He helped with details during and after the search and purchase. I would utilize his real estate service again. He is truly an exceptional Realtor."
- Kristi L., Quail Creek
