Saving for a down payment is not as simple as most experts make it sound: “Cut out your daily latte.” “Stop going out drinking with your friends” “Cancel a few streaming subscriptions.” “Just save a small amount every day.” If it were that easy, far more renters (and people still living at home) would already be homeowners. Most people already know where they could save a few bucks. That’s not the real problem. The real problem is that when you’re staring at a down payment goal that feels enormous, shaving $5 here and $20 there feels like a drop in the bucket. Or maybe worse than a bucket… It can feel like trying to fill a swimming pool with a garden hose… while someone around the corner is squeezing the hose so the water barely trickles out. And just to make matters worse, the drain is open too. Even if you try and save money for a down payment, things you have no control over continue going up: Rent goes up. Groceries go up. Home prices don’t exactly stand still. So it’s certainly understandable if you aren’t all that excited about the “$27.39 Rule.” What’s that you ask? https://indymatch.com/blog/cancelledcontracts monthly 0.5 2026-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/70824841-2dc4-4fe3-a371-b8b47eb9d76e/2.4.26+-+Blog_Website+%282%29.png Blog - Real Estate Contract Cancellations Are at a “Record High”… but Here’s the Full Story - News headlines can be misleading, and real estate news is no exception. Lately, you may have seen headlines warning that home contract cancellations have surged to a “record high” and are at their highest level since 2017. If you’re thinking about buying or selling, that might sound like something you should be concerned about. As a seller, it might make you wonder whether it’s going to be difficult — or even impossible — to get your house sold. As a buyer, you might question whether other buyers are sensing something you’ve missed and start second-guessing your decision. Or maybe you see it as a positive sign that the market is finally shifting back in favor of buyers. But before jumping to any conclusions, let’s take a closer look at what the data actually says so you have some real perspective. https://indymatch.com/blog/firsttimefears monthly 0.5 2026-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/2588d935-c9ee-4b9c-b5ad-4fd92dc72ad6/2.4.26+-+Blog_Website+%281%29.png Blog - The Fear Nobody Talks About (But Many First-Time Buyers Feel) - When people talk about why they’re not sure they can buy a home yet, they usually point to the obvious things. Prices feel high. Interest rates aren’t what they used to be. It sounds like every decent house has ten offers by Sunday night. All of that is real. And for some people, those factors genuinely do make buying unrealistic. But for a lot of first-time buyers, there’s something sitting just below the surface that they may not even be able to pinpoint themselves: the fear of getting pre-approved for a mortgage. On paper, getting pre-approved is simple. It doesn’t usually take that long. And within the real estate world, it’s treated as a basic first step — something buyers are somehow supposed to just know they should do before they even scroll through the photos of a listing online. What doesn’t get talked about nearly enough is how emotionally loaded that step can feel if you’ve never done it before. Because at a gut level, getting pre-approved can feel like asking a stranger to decide whether you’re worthy of buying a home at all — and if you are, how much you’re allowed to spend. For some people, that brings up anxiety, self-doubt, embarrassment, or a quiet fear of being told “no.” So if you’ve been thinking about buying your first home but keep finding reasons to delay that first step, it might not be about the market at all. It might simply be fear of the answer. The good news is you’re not the only person who feels this way — and with a little perspective, that first step is usually far easier and far less painful than it seems. https://indymatch.com/blog/happierhome monthly 0.5 2026-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/36a7a5f2-8b5c-4889-845b-98891e1449fc/2.4.26+-+Blog_Website.png Blog - The Secret to a Happier Home? A Little Personal Space for You and Your Partner - No matter how much you love your significant other, nearly everyone can relate to wanting a little room to breathe now and then. Not necessarily distance in the emotional sense — just a place that feels like yours inside a shared home. It’s something people don’t always talk about openly, but it shows up in real estate all the time. Agents often hear it during listing appointments and buyer consultations: “I just want a little extra space for myself. ” Unfortunately, sometimes that need goes unresolved and contributes to stress. In more serious cases, it’s even part of why people end up selling after a separation or divorce — which remains a common reason homes hit the market. More often, though, it’s not about the relationship falling apart. It’s about recognizing that two people can be happier under the same roof when they each have some space to call their own. https://indymatch.com/blog/wealthtransfer monthly 0.5 2026-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/0853d576-c8a5-4698-b0ba-d382ff34e549/1.21.26+Blog_Website.png Blog - Your Home May Be Part of the Great Wealth Transfer — But It Could Be Costly for Your Heirs - The oldest living generation today is often described as sitting on a tremendous amount of wealth. Much of it has been built slowly over decades, and a large portion of it is tied up in real estate — homes where decades of life took place — paid down slowly, maintained carefully, and held onto for years. Lately, there’s been a lot of talk about how that wealth will eventually be passed on to younger generations, and how it could dramatically change their lives. Some of the headlines make it sound as though heirs are simply waiting in the wings, ready to receive an inheritance and turn it into luxury purchases, second homes, or dramatic lifestyle upgrades. It can create the impression that the next generation is counting the days until they receive the wealth that took a lifetime to build, and the ways that it will be quickly spent. But in reality, that picture doesn’t reflect what many families actually experience. For many heirs, the wealth they inherit doesn’t arrive as money at all. It is often in the form of a home. And it usually takes time, effort, coordination, and decisions that aren’t simple to make, especially during an already emotional period before the house provides them with any form of money to spend on their own. https://indymatch.com/blog/carpayment monthly 0.5 2026-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/19c78c7a-eeec-4371-b679-7c50ac7df2bc/First+1.26+Blog_Website.png Blog - Your Car Payment May Be Costing You More House than You Think - If you’ve ever bought a home before, you’re probably familiar with the advice that agents give their clients: don’t make any big purchases while you’re in the middle of house hunting. “Big purchases” can mean a lot of things—opening new lines of credit, splurging on furniture, committing to a pricey vacation, or upgrading appliances. And, of course, the one agents mention the most…a new car. Even with that warning, it’s easy to see how some buyers slip. Life happens. Sometimes it’s a planned purchase, sometimes it’s impulsive, and sometimes it’s just unavoidable. A new car can sneak into the budget without realizing its ripple effects. Yet these decisions can dramatically impact how much home a buyer can afford, or even whether they qualify for a mortgage at all. Cars aren’t exactly optional for most people. You can’t always time a broken-down engine or a growing family’s need for extra space to line up with your home buying schedule. And some buyers may have purchased a vehicle months before they even began house hunting, not fully aware of the impact it could have on their homebuying power. But to the degree that it is in your control, understanding the numbers can make a huge difference when planning for a mortgage https://indymatch.com/blog/divorce monthly 0.5 2026-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/b04201c8-b850-4864-873d-4b60c6e9e0b8/Second+December+Blog_Website.png Blog - The Last Thing You Need To Deal With When Divorcing - Homeownership can be the last thing keeping a marriage “together” — even when a couple has decided to separate, and long after one has moved out. (And sometimes even after they’ve actually gotten divorced.) It’s kind of interesting how much more binding the contractual ownership of a house is compared to marriage. But more often than not, when people get divorced, the house they own together needs to be sold at some point. And no matter how much or how little two people hate each other, it’s not uncommon for one of them to use the house as a way to avoid the finality of divorce. https://indymatch.com/blog/holdingback monthly 0.5 2025-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/2e55c1dc-bb82-47ce-8bb6-eef1cf509ee7/First+December+Blog_Website.png Blog - Would You Let $80 a Month Hold You Back from Buying a Home? - A lot of buyers are stuck in “wait and see” mode right now. They’re watching rates hover a little above 6% and thinking, I’ll buy once they hit the 5s. Because who doesn’t want a better rate? But here’s the thing: that 5.99% number might not save you as much as you think. Affordability is still a challenge. There’s no question about that. But the market has given savvy buyers a head start. Mortgage rates have already come down over the past few months. And the drop we’ve seen saves you more than you’d think. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/2ed7b6f0-9ac9-410c-9577-eeefc0749883/MortgageRatesProjections.png Blog - Would You Let $80 a Month Hold You Back from Buying a Home? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/eb8bf557-74d3-4c11-8d64-a0b5471b9cda/20251113-Waiting-for-Rates-Below-6-May-Only-Save-You-About-80-Month-original.png Blog - Would You Let $80 a Month Hold You Back from Buying a Home? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://indymatch.com/blog/mortgageturning monthly 0.5 2025-12-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/f0e75f93-ccb7-424c-ad2f-2fe8977bf319/Second+November+Blog_Website+%283%29.png Blog - The Housing Market Is Turning a Corner Going into 2026 - After several years of high mortgage rates and hesitation from buyers, momentum is quietly building beneath the surface of the housing market. Sellers are reappearing. Buyers are re-engaging. And for the first time in what feels like forever, there’s movement happening again. No, it’s not a surge. But it is a shift – and it’s one that could set the stage for a stronger year in 2026. So, what’s driving the comeback?

Economists from Fannie Mae, the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), and the National Association of Realtors (NAR) all forecast moderate sales growth going into 2026. Now, this recovery won’t happen overnight. It’s not a flood of activity. But it is the start of steady improvement going into 2026.

And, if you’ve owned your home for a while, you may be able to do the same. No mortgage. No monthly housing payments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/ddf7f5a9-22b9-42c7-bd5b-936d3d571afd/October+Blog+1.png Blog - Downsizing Without Debt: How More Homeowners Are Buying Their Next House in Cash - Make it stand out One big reason for this trend? Demographics. As Baby Boomers age and stay in their homes longer, many have had the time to fully pay off their mortgages. You might be in that group too and not even realize just how much buying power you now have. It’s time to change that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/01ca045b-389b-401b-9821-123aca0bec79/October+Blog+2.png Blog - Downsizing Without Debt: How More Homeowners Are Buying Their Next House in Cash - Make it stand out For Baby Boomers especially, buying in cash gives you more control over your next chapter. You could buy a smaller, less expensive home and have lower costs, less upkeep, and more flexibility to enjoy what matters most. All while staying debt and stress free. Because downsizing isn’t about downgrading your home. It’s about upgrading your quality of life. And that’s something worth exploring. Bottom Line You’ve worked hard for your house. Now it might be time for it to work hard for you. Talk to your agent about what your house is worth, and what it could unlock for you today.

But does that mean mortgage rates will drop? Let’s clear up the confusion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/1b0c6833-85ec-41a4-b5bc-2ebb3ee39c20/FedCuts.png Blog - What a Fed Rate Cut Could Mean for Mortgage Rates - Make it stand out So, what exactly is the Federal Funds Rate? It’s the short-term interest rate banks charge each other. It impacts borrowing costs across the economy, but it’s not the same thing as mortgage rates. Still, the Fed’s actions can shape the direction mortgage rates take next. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/07508da8-a8db-4d92-9977-fcbcdb7f1847/FedCuts2.png Blog - What a Fed Rate Cut Could Mean for Mortgage Rates - Make it stand out As Sam Williamson, Senior Economist at First American, explains: For mortgage rates, investor confidence in a forthcoming rate-cutting cycle could help push borrowing costs lower in the back half of 2025, offering some relief to housing affordability and potentially helping to boost buyer demand and overall market activity.” If multiple rate cuts happen, or even if markets just believe they willmortgage rates could ease further in the months ahead. But here’s the catch – all of this depends on how the economy evolves. Surprise inflation data or unexpected shifts could quickly change the outlook. Bottom Line Mortgage rates likely won’t drop sharply overnight, and they won’t mirror the Fed’s moves one-for-one. But if the Fed begins a rate-cutting cycle, and markets continue to expect it, mortgage rates could trend lower later this year and into 2026. If you’ve been waiting and watching the housing market, now’s the time to talk strategy. Even small changes in rates can make a meaningful difference in affordability, and understanding what’s ahead helps you make the best decision for your situation. https://indymatch.com/blog/rentals monthly 0.5 2025-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/aac3bb40-390a-423a-924e-aff1fb6c2a2b/August+Blog+Post+%281%29.png Blog - Thinking About Renting Your House Instead of Selling? Read This First. - If your house is on the market but you haven’t gotten any offers you’re comfortable with, you may be wondering: what do I do if it doesn’t sell? And for a growing number of homeowners, that’s turning into a new dilemma: should I just rent it instead? There’s a term for this in the industry, and it’s called an accidental landlord. Here’s how Yahoo Finance defines it: “These ‘accidental landlords’ are homeowners who tried to sell but couldn’t fetch the price they wanted — and instead have decided to rent out their homes until conditions improve.” https://indymatch.com/blog/frenzytobreathingroom monthly 0.5 2025-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/53bc56bb-6395-4b52-8d2b-5932551ef081/August+Instagram+Blog+Post.png Blog - From Frenzy to Breathing Room: Buyers Finally Have Time Again - If you tried to buy a home a few years ago, you probably still remember the frenzy. Homes were listed one day and gone the next. Sometimes it only took hours. You had to drop everything to go and see the house, and if you hesitated even slightly, someone else swooped in and bought it – sometimes even sight unseen. That kind of intensity pushed a lot of buyers to the sidelines. It was stressful, chaotic, and for many, really discouraging. But here’s what you need to know: those days are behind us. Today’s market is moving slower, in the best possible way. And that’s creating more opportunity for buyers who felt shut out in recent years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/35502d5b-da37-4199-8f76-56650b5b401b/Blog+2+Image.png Blog - From Frenzy to Breathing Room: Buyers Finally Have Time Again - Make it stand out That means you now have more time to make decisions than you have at any point in the past five years. And that’s a big deal. Now, you’ve got: Time to think. Time to negotiate. Time to make a smart move without all the pressure. More Time Means Less Stress (and More Leverage) Based on the data in the graph above, you have an extra week to decide compared to last year. And nearly double the time you would have had at the market’s peak. Back then, fear of missing out drove buyers to act fast, sometimes too fast. Today, the pace is slower, which means you’re in control. As Bankrate puts it: “For years, buyers have been racing to snag homes because of the fierce competition. But the market’s cooled off a bit now, and that gives buyers some breathing room. Homes are staying listed longer, so buyers can slow down, weigh their options and make more confident decisions.” With more homes on the market and fewer buyers racing to grab them, the balance has shifted. Bidding wars aren’t as common, and that means you may have room to negotiate. And you can actually take a breath before you make your decision. More listings + a slower pace = less stress and more opportunity But, and this is important, it still depends on where you’re buying. Nationally, homes are moving slower. But your local market sets your real pace. Some states are moving faster than others. It may even vary down to the specific zip code or neighborhood you’re looking at. And that’s why working with an agent to know what’s happening in your area is more important than ever.

That’s when the worry can set in. “I’ll never save enough.” “I need a small fortune just to get started.” “I guess I’ll just rent forever.” Sound familiar? You’re not alone. And you’re definitely not out of luck. Here’s the thing: a lot of what you’ve heard about down payments just isn’t true. And once you know the facts, you might realize you’re a lot closer to owning a home than you think. Let’s break it all down and bust some big down payment myths while we’re at it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/3cc7ecd3-3484-456f-976a-2e9a7569a551/Graph_1.png Blog - The Truth About Down Payments (It’s Not What You Think) - Make it stand out The truth? According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the typical down payment for first-time buyers has been between 6% and 9% since 2018. But there’s more to the story. If you qualify for an FHA loan, you may only need to put 3.5% down. And VA loans typically don’t require a down payment at all. So, there are options out there that can really make a difference for some buyers. Myth 2: “It’ll take forever to save up for a down payment.” Sure, saving can take time. But it may not have to be as long as you think. In many states, reaching your goal can happen faster than you might expect, especially when you know your budget and have a clear savings plan. According to a new study, the amount of time varies depending on where you live. The map below shows, on average, how many years it takes to save up for a 10% down payment based on typical home values and income levels in each state (see map below): https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/7f5427ff-12f1-461d-9408-7f52e0077968/Map.png Blog - The Truth About Down Payments (It’s Not What You Think) - Make it stand out But remember, in most cases you won’t even need a down payment as large as 10%.

But the truth is, they’re not telling the full story. Here’s what’s actually happening, and what the experts project for home prices over the next 5 years. And spoiler alert – it’s not a crash. Yes, in some local markets, prices are flattening or even dipping slightly this year as more homes hit the market. That’s normal with rising inventory. But the bigger picture is what really matters, and it’s far less dramatic than what the doom-and-gloom headlines suggest. Here’s why. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/249ec686-4d9b-4ed2-98a2-d6b4eafa4d41/Graph.png Blog - The Truth About Where Home Prices Are Heading - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/992e2a50-85c2-4a41-9993-874f43e2ffce/Graph2.png Blog - The Truth About Where Home Prices Are Heading - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://indymatch.com/blog/multigenerationalhomebuying monthly 0.5 2025-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/8867c396-2056-4407-ae47-03457f796dba/June+Blog+Post+%281%29.png Blog - Multi-Generational Homebuying Hit a Record High – Here’s Why - Multi-generational living is on the rise. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 17% of homebuyers purchase a home to share with parents, adult children, or extended family. That’s the highest share ever recorded by NAR. And what’s behind the increase? Affordability. NAR explains: “In 2024, a notable 36% of homebuyers cited “cost savings” as the primary reason for purchasing a multigenerational home—a significant increase from just 15% in 2015.” In the past, caregiving was the leading motivator – especially for those looking to support aging parents. And while that’s still important, affordability is now the #1 motivator. And with current market conditions, that’s not really a surprise. https://indymatch.com/blog/interiordesigntrends monthly 0.5 2025-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/068e0540-2648-4a3a-89f5-ba0c3b54c351/June+Blog+Post.png Blog - What’s Trending in Interior Design in 2025 - When it comes to interior design, 2025 is the year where comfort, sustainability, and modern innovation come together in perfect harmony.

This is a form of wealth that you can tap into and use to pay a variety of expenses. “Home equity is more than just a number,” explains Jo Ann Theriault-Fazio, SVP of Mortgage Lending & National Sales Director at Proper Rate. “It’s a reservoir of potential that, when tapped wisely, can transform your financial landscape.” “Tapped wisely,” though, is key. https://indymatch.com/blog/homeinspections-2znyk monthly 0.5 2025-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/a17f16d3-d7af-452d-9861-1a4e2de50652/May+Blog+Post+%281%29.png Blog - Understanding Condo Loans: A Guide for Homebuyers - Home loans are anything but one-size-fits-all. From conventional loans to jumbo loans to adjustable rate mortgages, and more, borrowers come to the table with diverse needs – and it’s your loan officer’s job to connect you with the right mortgage for your situation. But many people don’t know that there’s a different category of mortgages for condominiums. And navigating that terrain starts with an understanding of the legal definition of a condominium. “A condominium declaration is a legal designation for an individual unit within either a building or complex of buildings,” explains Joe Burke, SVP of Mortgage Lending at Proper Rate. “Not all condos are of the apartment variety. A townhome, for example, can have a condo declaration, and so can a stand-alone or attached single-family house. It’s not about the structure itself, but the legal description of the property.” Lenders usually deem a condominium purchase to be riskier to finance because the borrower isn’t the only owner. This can result in a different underwriting process for the loan – and even different interest rates. https://indymatch.com/blog/homeinspections monthly 0.5 2025-05-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/35429484-cd0f-49ad-a7a0-bee9e46f0cde/May+Blog+Post.png Blog - 9 Additional Home Inspections You Might Want to Consider When Buying a Home - When buying a home, the standard home inspection provides a general overview of the property’s condition, but it doesn’t cover everything. Home inspectors are limited to what they can see—they aren’t tearing down walls, pulling up carpets, or digging up the yard to take a closer look at the foundation. While some inspectors offer specialized inspections as add-ons, not all do. So if they spot something that seems off, they may recommend bringing in a specialist for a closer look. Depending on the home’s age, location, and unique features, additional inspections can provide peace of mind and prevent unexpected expenses after closing. A home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make—so spending a few extra bucks on additional inspections might make sense to give you peace of mind. Here are a few inspections that may be worth considering if your home inspector sees (or senses) something that needs further evaluation: https://indymatch.com/blog/sellingyourhome-zst9x monthly 0.5 2025-05-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/56debf3a-b7f9-4f64-aacd-bacfba60ac6d/Copy+of+April+Blog+Post.png Blog - Worried About Missing Secret Real Estate Listings? Here’s What You Should Really Focus On - If you’re trying to buy a home, you may be concerned that while you’re watching the MLS and every possible online listing site like a hawk, someone else is slipping into a private showing of the perfect house you’ll never even know existed. And to be fair, it’s not hard to see where that fear comes from. Some listings really are exclusive for a short time. Some agents do shop homes around privately before they hit the market. And for buyers who’ve been burned before—who lost out on a house because they moved too slow, or didn’t even hear about it until it was under contract—it’s easy to think the only way to win is to out-hustle the system. So instead of settling in with a single agent, some buyers try to keep their options open. They bounce around, follow every lead, contact listing agents directly, and stay ready to move fast—just in case something pops up and disappears before the rest of the world finds out. But that kind of thinking and approach can backfire… https://indymatch.com/blog/sellingyourhome monthly 0.5 2025-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/b08866a2-66cc-4c2e-9a83-b2786a51d763/April+Blog+Post.png Blog - Selling Your First Home This Spring? Here’s How Thinking Like a First-Time Buyer Can Help - When you bought your first home, there was no shortage of advice. From mortgage tips to house hunting strategies, the world was full of guidance for first-time buyers. But now that you’re on the selling side for the first time, it might feel like you’re supposed to just know what you’re doing since you’re not completely new to the process. Selling a home isn’t just buying in reverse. It comes with its own set of challenges, decisions, and potential missteps. Maybe you’re wondering how much to list for, whether you really need to repaint the living room, or why your agent is asking you to leave the house every time there’s a showing. If any of this sounds familiar, don’t sweat it—your past buying experience is about to come in handy! If you can remember what made a home appealing (or a dealbreaker) when you were looking, you’ll have a much better shot at getting your own home sold quickly and for the best possible price. https://indymatch.com/blog/moveinready monthly 0.5 2025-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/90d63605-92aa-4f15-b81f-0153c95aefdb/March+Blog+Post+%281%29.png Blog - Is Paying More for an Updated Home Worth It? Here’s How to Decide - If you’re in the market to buy a home, you probably want to negotiate the best price possible. But in today’s market, getting the best deal isn’t just about negotiating the lowest price—it’s about making a smart financial decision that balances cost, convenience, and long-term value. Even if you’ve just started your home search, you’ve probably noticed that updated homes are often difficult to find and sell faster and at higher prices than homes that need some sprucing up. But how much more may not be so obvious. Well, according to a recent press release, homes that are “remodeled” currently sell for nearly 4% more than expected, as opposed to last year when they only contributed to a 0.8% sale price premium. This demand for updated homes signals a shift from the past when buyers were more willing to take on fixer-uppers. But does that mean paying a premium for a move-in-ready home is the best choice for you? Not always. The key is understanding when paying a premium for an updated home is worth every penny, and when rolling up your sleeves and tackling a few projects might be the better move. https://indymatch.com/blog/stayontracktosell monthly 0.5 2025-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/a4c2bd82-4de5-44ef-b58f-8a5b59b951fd/March+Blog+Post.png Blog - Selling Your Home? Here’s Why More Deals Are Falling Apart (And How to Keep Yours on Track) - If you’re getting ready to list your home—or maybe you’ve already put it on the market—you probably have a vision of how things will go. The sign goes in the yard, buyers flood in, multiple offers roll in, and you pick the best one. From there, it’s smooth sailing to closing day—no hiccups, no surprises, no second-guessing from the buyer. It’s understandable if that’s how you envision it; that’s been a fairly common reality for quite some time. In competitive markets, where demand outpaced supply, buyers had fewer options, and backing out of a contract wasn’t something many considered unless something major went wrong. But things have been shifting. And while sellers may still hold a strong position in many areas, an increasing number of deals aren’t making it to the finish line. https://indymatch.com/blog/realtorinterview monthly 0.5 2025-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/1e800175-6cf2-4ea1-b5c4-186eced0bdad/February+Blog+Post Blog - 4 Questions You Should Have Answers to before Listing Your House for Sale - When you decide to interview real estate agents to sell your house, it’s easy to focus on how much they’ll say your house is worth, and how they’ll get every dime of that for you with their marketing plan and expertise. But there are some things agents will want to know, in order to give you the best advice on how to proceed, and be able to get you the best price possible… Here are 4 questions you should have answers to, so that your agent can take them into consideration when customizing their advice to your situation: https://indymatch.com/blog/taxseason monthly 0.5 2025-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/8b852ef7-aa13-4440-8cf9-7b5709460ff9/Tax+Benefits Blog - Maximizing Your Tax Benefits: A First-Time Homeowner’s Guide to Tax Season - Navigating tax season can be challenging, especially when you’re a first-time homeowner. The good news: you’re likely entitled to additional tax benefits – from major deductions to perks for building that new home office. The key, though, is understanding what you can claim and, from there, ensuring you maximize the savings – and minimize your tax bill. The transition from renter to homeowner introduces a suite of potential tax benefits that, if leveraged correctly, can significantly reduce your tax bill.

That’s not surprising, considering many people still believe that you need 20% of the purchase price saved up to even qualify for a loan. The truth is, you don’t need 20% down to buy a home. Many loan options exist that allow for much smaller down payments—10%, 5%, 3%, and even zero money down in some cases if you qualify. In fact, according to The Mortgage Reports, the median down payment for first-time home buyers was just 9% in 2024. Despite the availability of low down payment options, the 20% myth persists for a reason: it was once the gold standard. And while there are advantages to putting 20% down—like avoiding private mortgage insurance (PMI)—it’s no longer the requirement many people think it is. Even if they’re aware that there are lower down payment options, many potential buyers hesitate to take the leap into homeownership. The idea of saving thousands of dollars can be so intimidating that some people resign themselves to renting for the rest of their lives, and even rationalize that it’s the smarter choice. While it might be daunting to save up a significant amount of money for a down payment, it might not be so painful if you look at it from a different point-of-view! https://indymatch.com/blog/newyearnewhome monthly 0.5 2025-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/5025c87e-bcd1-4884-93cf-f4e43d4a3268/January+2025+Blog+Post+%282%29.png Blog - New Year, New House? Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Wait past February to Start Searching - If real estate agents earned a dollar every time they heard someone say, “I’m waiting until the new year to buy a house,” they wouldn’t retire rich, but it might be enough to fill up their gas tank…with premium! They start hearing buyers say this just before the holidays, often from buyers who’ve spent months searching for their dream home. And the reasoning seems sound—December is hectic, inventory shrinks, and many hope for better options or lower rates in the new year. However, there aren’t always drastic or noticeable changes to the real estate market the minute the confetti is cleaned up in Times Square on January 1st, which often leads to many home buyers following a similar pattern in the new year. https://indymatch.com/blog/holidayhomebuying monthly 0.5 2025-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/c8f0e3b8-39b0-4299-aeaa-7cc2cc768226/December+2024+Blog+Post.png Blog - Why Shopping for a Home During the Holidays Might Be the Best Gift You Give Yourself - The holiday season is a busy time for most people filled with shopping for gifts, going to parties, hosting guests, and perhaps traveling to visit loved ones. Amid all the holiday cheer and festivities, shopping for a home often doesn’t make the list of top things to do. Besides being busy—and spending more than usual!—many potential buyers assume there won’t be homes worth looking at during the holidays. So it’s not uncommon for people planning on buying a home to say they’re waiting until the spring market when their lives settle down, and there are more houses for sale. There’s nothing wrong with taking that approach.

You may even see some headlines talking about last week’s Federal Reserve (the Fed) meeting and what it means for rates. But the Fed doesn’t determine mortgage rates, even if the headlines make it sound like they do. The truth is, mortgage rates are impacted by a lot of factors: geo-political uncertainty, inflation and the economy, and more. And trying to pin down when all those factors will line up enough for rates to come down is tricky. That’s why it’s generally not worth it to try to time the market.

All you have to do is hire a great real estate agent who had to do both of those things in order to help you sell your house quickly and for the most money possible. Even if you took the same classes and tests your agent took to become an agent, it’d be difficult for you to know everything you need to know. Much of the insight and knowledge that makes your agent so effective at getting you the best results comes from experience actually selling houses, not from real estate school. However, the more you know and understand about the best decisions ahead of time, the better off you’ll be. So here’s a quick quiz to help you see what decisions you’d get right, and learn from the ones you get wrong so you will be prepared to listen to the advice of your agent when the time comes. https://indymatch.com/blog/fivewaystogetthebestloan monthly 0.5 2023-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/2937f1a6-0f1d-495d-bbba-832341e8b060/Blog+Posts+%281%29.png Blog - 5 Ways to Get the Best Loan Possible - If you think mortgage rates are at an all-time high, you wouldn’t be alone.

As she helped them map their day's exploration, she realized that helping people get connected and find a good home base to walk or bike to work was a powerful way to build livable communities. She and her husband matched in Indianapolis for a med-peds residency, and they bought their first home in Ransom Place, a short walk from all five of the hospitals where he would serve. The couple and their family can often be found biking around the city with their daughters and sometimes their dog. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f0a0e776dc54b0ec8f944/b22a5d88-dc18-474c-861a-aff63684a9c7/0K8A4341.jpg Indy Match Real Estate Collective - Chris Runyon Chris came to Real Estate after over 20 years of experience in sales.
