Do you keep hearing about the record-low interest rates and wonder if it's a good time for you to buy a home? I'm here to help you make an educated decision. There are MANY perks of homeownership. When you have a home of your own, you finally have full control over your living space, from interior design to home improvement projects. On top of design freedom, there are many financial benefits to homeownership. When you rent, you are subject to the rising costs of ...renting. When you have a fixed mortgage, you know what you're paying each month. This kind of stability helps you budget, plan and make other investments for your future. If you've paid rent before, you know that money doesn't come back to you. When you pay your mortgage payment each month, you are building equity, which boosts your wealth and creditworthiness. When you own your home, you become part of the neighborhood, community and school district. You have the ability to make connections and put down roots. What part of owning vs. renting are you most excited about? Share in the comments! Your trusted real estate partner for life... Janaka Perera (818) 281-5301 [email protected]

Interest rates on mortgages are still LOW as we enter 2021! If you've thinking of making a move yourself, there are benefits for both buyers AND sellers! Buyers: Low-interest rates can give you more purchasing power during your home search and increase affordability.

Thinking of selling? With so many buyers touring homes virtually nowadays, it is especially important to give your home scroll-stopping virtual appeal. The goal is to make your home look clean, spacious and inviting to potential buyers. Use these staging tips to help your home stand out online: ... 1. Let in the light! Good lighting goes a long way, so clean your windows, open your blinds and switch on all lights. 2. Add life and vibrancy to your rooms with green houseplants. Bonus tip: houseplants can help give a room a sense of scale in online photos. 3. Clear all countertops. Clutter-free counters can help your kitchen and bathrooms look more spacious. 4. Polish floors and stainless steel appliances to get them photo-ready. 5. Clear away everyday items such as shoes near the door, remotes, pet bowls, toys and paperwork. 6. Make sure all outdoor areas are neat and tidy. Rake leaves, clear the walkway and driveway, tidy the porch and set out pots of seasonal flowers.

If you are preparing to purchase a home in 2021, I'm here to help! One of the first steps as a home buyer is to meet with a lender. A lender will help you find out what kind of home loans you are eligible for, what your monthly payments could look like and what your purchasing power is. This way, you'll know what type of home to look for when you start your search. After reviewing your credit report, income, assets and employment history, a lender may pre-approve your for... a home loan. Mortgage rates have been historically low, so buyer demand is HIGH right now. Having a pre-approval letter can show sellers that you're serious about purchasing and can give you a competitive edge over the many buyers today's market. Do you have any questions on how to begin the home buying process?
