IS BUYING A HOME IN THE U.S. MORE EXPENSIVE NOW?

What you need to know about fees, government assistance, and how to prepare with an expert by your side.

Buying a home in the United States is a major financial decision. But with recent changes in the market, such as new rules on commissions and access to assistance programs, it’s important to have clear information from the very beginning.

In this blog, we cover three key aspects for homebuyers and explain how Sue Dovales, Mortgage Loan Advisor, can be your ally from day one.

WHO PAYS THE REAL ESTATE AGENT’S COMMISSIONS NOW?

Recently, the U.S. real estate market has shifted from the traditional model: now, buyers may have to cover their own agent’s commission, which can represent an additional 2% to 3% of the property’s value, according to Telemundo.

This change can directly impact your budget if you don’t factor it in from the very beginning of the process.

With extensive knowledge of the pre-owned housing market, I help you find the best financing option for an efficient, hassle-free purchase.

GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS THAT CAN HELP YOU

The federal government and some states offer support programs for homebuyers, especially for those purchasing a home for the first time.
According to USA.gov, these benefits may include:

  • Assistance with the down payment

  • Help covering closing costs

  • Lower interest rates

  • Special programs for veterans, teachers, and essential workers
