If you’re getting a tax refund this year, here’s something worth thinking about. That money could actually help you get closer to buying a home.

When your house sits on the market longer than expected, it can get frustrating fast. While renting sounds like a simple backup plan, becoming a landlord is actually a much bigger decision than most people realize.

If your house has been sitting on the market without any bites, you’re not the only one. But it’s also not the end of the road. Homes are selling every day, so you can turn this around. You just need to take another look at your approach.

The sellers who struggle are usually approaching today’s market with yesterday’s expectations. Here are the three biggest mistakes they’re making – and how to avoid them.

There’s one decision you’re going to make when you sell that determines whether your house sells quickly, or it sits. And that’s your asking price.

Over the past year, the number of homes for sale has been climbing. As buyers gain more options, they also re-gain the ability to be selective. So, the details are starting to count again.

Buyers are re-engaging. And for the first time in what feels like forever, there’s movement happening again.

Almost every buyer closing costs exist, but not that many know exactly what they cover, or how different they can be based on where you’re buying.

Retirement brings some big choices and one of the biggest is this: does your current home still make sense for the lifestyle (and budget) you want in this next phase of life?

If your house is on the market but you haven’t gotten any offers you’re comfortable with, you may be wondering: should I just rent it instead?

You’re probably frustrated things didn’t go the way you wanted. But while slowdowns can be painful in the moment, history tells us they don’t last forever.

Now that more homes are for sale, buyers have more options. And sellers need to be more flexible to close the deal.
