Would you live with your parents again? In 2023 14% of all home buyers were looking at multi-generational living and it’s something we are seeing more of our clients doing. Here are the Top 5 Reasons Clients Consider Multigenerational Living 1. More Buying Power 💴 Combining incomes across generations increases purchasing power and allows families to afford larger in homes in their desired neighborhoods. 2. Eldercare / Healthcare Caring for aging parents and other family members ensures they get the personalized attention and can also significantly reduce healthcare costs. 3. Childcare Support Having grandparents or extended family members around can provide additional childcare support while also fostering stronger family bonds and saving on daycare expenses. 4. Cultural Values Living together allows families to pass down and maintain cultural traditions and values, strengthening the sense of heritage and identity. 5. Job Loss / Change When there is a job loss or transition, a multigenerational household can provide a safety net, offering financial and/or emotional support. It’s important to note that these are not the only reasons but are at the top of the feedback we receive from our clients who have combined households.

Are your parents sabotaging your dreams of buying a new home? I know they mean well but sometimes the well-intentioned advice from your parents might be what’s holding you back. Let’s unpack this together! 🏡 First up, the dependency dilemma. This will sound crazy to a lot of people, but if your parents are still paying your bills and you’re using their credit cards, it could be a red flag for lenders when you apply for a mortgage. Start establishing your credit independently and make your own payments to smooth out your path to homeownership. Next up is outdated advice. The market has transformed radically since our parents’ times. If their advice starts with, “When we bought our home…” and that wasn’t in the last year, it’s likely irrelevant. What worked for them might not work now due to changes in mortgage rules and the dynamic nature of the real estate market. Lastly, consider the relevance of their local market to Denver’s unique landscape. Every real estate market is different, and using advice based on another area’s conditions can mislead your decisions. Fortunately, we have an easy solution. To navigate these waters smoothly, why not bring your parents into the conversation by inviting them to our next call? At Forward Mortgage Group, we’re here to align everyone’s understanding and boost your chances of landing your dream home. To set up that conversation, send me a DM or drop a comment below!

Maximize your savings when buying a home with these top strategies for securing seller concessions! 🏡💸 If you don’t know, seller concessions is when the seller gives you a credit that you can use to pay for different closing costs. 1️⃣ Target Overpriced Listings: Homes that have been on the market longer than others often signal an opportunity. You might snag a lower price or negotiate seller concessions. Connect with your realtor to identify these gems—they can guide you through negotiation tactics to ensure you get the best deal. 2️⃣ Leverage the Property Inspection: Post-offer inspections can reveal issues that may not be visible initially. Use this to your advantage! If repairs are needed the seller may offer concessions so you can do them on your own and prevent it from becoming a bigger expense down the road. This means less out-of-pocket expenses for you and less hassle for the seller. 💬 Want the complete guide on using seller concessions effectively?

Navigating Denver’s dynamic real estate market? 🏡✨ Millennials are now the powerhouse of home buyers, making up 38% of the market (for all markets, not just Denver)! Whether you’re a younger millennial stepping into your first home or an older one looking to upsize, understanding the shifts in buyer demographics is key. 🔑 While millennials are busy buying, baby boomers are the primary sellers, representing 45% of home sales. And let’s not overlook Gen Z, though they only account for 3% of buyers, their unique preferences and trends are shaping the future of real estate. Single females, notably strong in Gen Z, continue to make significant strides, echoing the broader empowerment in home buying where single females are the second largest home buying demographic making up 19% of all home buyers. At Forward Mortgage Group, we’re here to guide you every step, ensuring you find a place that feels like home regardless of generation.🌟🏠 #DenverRealEstate #MillennialHomeBuyers #GenZHomeTrends #millennials #firsttimehomebuyer #denverhomes #realestatebuyersguide #denverrealty #denverproperties #denverhousing #topics #homeownership #realestateadvice #realestatedenver #homebuyingguide #millennialbuyers #denverneighborhoods #propertymarketinsights #denver #millennialrealestate #denverhomesales #homebuyerguide #realestatetrends #forwardmortgagegroup

Deciding between locking or floating your mortgage rate can feel like a high-stakes game. 🏡💭 It’s one of those decisions in the home buying process that we often see cause a lot of anxiety 😬. Here in Denver I often advise my clients, “If you like it, lock it.” 🔐 This means if the interest rate offered aligns with your expectations and pre-approval, securing it can spare you future worries. You should also consider your current financial boundaries. If an increase in rates could stretch your budget too thin or jeopardize your loan approval, locking in your rate is a wise choice to eliminate uncertainty. Still on the fence? 🤷‍♂️ Think about what weighs ⚖️ more for you emotionally: the potential regret of missing lower rates if they drop after you lock, or the risk of rates climbing higher while you wait. Your reaction can be a powerful guide in making your choice. Always remember, consulting with your lender for the latest market insights is crucial, and I’m here to help guide you through these decisions every step of the way. Regardless of your situation understanding your mortgage options is key 🔑 to making empowered decisions. Reach out anytime – let’s secure your future home with confidence! 🏡✨ #denverneighborhoods #realestateplanning #suitable #interested #realestatesector #propertymarket #propertyinvestment #homeownershipgoals #realestatemarketupdate #realestatetrends #realestatedenver #propertyadvice #denverrealestatemarket #mortgagepreapproval #mortgageoptions #realestateadvice #homepurchase #realestatefinance #denverhousingmarket #homebuyerguide #futurehomeowners #denverproperties #realestatechoices #realestatedecisions #residentialrealestate #mortgageguidance #realestatebuyers #homeownership #realestateinsights #forwardmortgagegroup
