On January 10th of each year, “National Cut Your Energy Costs Day” encourages consumers to reduce their overall energy costs by improving home efficiency.

According to Freddie Mac, a typical U.S. family spends $2,200 per year on energy bills. By making energy efficient upgrades, you could reduce your energy bills by up to 30%!

To assess the energy efficiency of your home and see how it measures up, take a moment to check out Home Energy Yardstick to calculate your estimated opportunity. Don’t forget to have your energy bills nearby.

 Rents will be rising AGAIN in 2020. We have helped hundreds of families buy a home through Down Payment Assistance Programs. They are available through some government programs and non-profits organizations in Arizona. If you’re a someone missing a down payment or don’t want to wipe out your savings, these programs are designed to assist. There are multiple programs that a person could qualify for to buy a home. It's cheaper than renting! You just need to know and learn about what options are available to you.

A Down Payment is one of the largest factors that prohibit people from buying a home. Upwards of 25% percent of all jobs are tied to the housing market for employment. The government knows that Homeownership builds more stable communities, better employees and provides a stable environment to raise children that do better in school. Our government leaders understand the effects of homeownership and promote these programs as such.

The amount of the down payment assistance grant/gift can vary from county to county in Arizona. The programs give up to 100% of the down payment needed to buy a home. The amount is determined by the price of the home. Check your eligibility today and find out how much you will get.

If you haven't seen our latest National and Phoenix housing market update video, check it out on our instagram "Awntelrealestate" or on our YouTube channel.

Projections from the experts at the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac all forecast mortgage rates remaining stable throughout 2020.
The Federal Market Open Committee meetings consensus have shown that there is a 96% chance they will remain stable this year. This will cause for home sales to increase. We will, however, likely see smaller increments of home sale increases this year than we did over the past several years.

Just remember, rates have been really low for the last 10 years now. Do you remember when they used to be 6-9% for decades? You may not fully realize the opportunity you have right now. You should consider taking advantage of the investing opportunities, while you have time. It can change your family's life for the better. Check out our buyer and seller reviews online, we have over 70+ available.

With more people moving here to Arizona this year, the growing demand and a limited supply of inventory will cause prices to appreciate. 2020 will be another solid year for real estate.

Did you know that rents out here have increased by up to 60% over the last decade?? Pretty crazy, isn't it? We remember when renting was affordable.

You're tired of writing rent checks to your landlord each month. You’d rather buy a house and start building equity with each monthly mortgage payment. This is how you actually create long-term wealth and security for you and your family. Real estate is an appreciating asset. You are building your wealth through the equity of your home. And you get to live in it! You also receive excellent tax benefits when you are a homeowner, thus increasing your "Net" worth. More $ in your pocket and less to Uncle Sam. Renting can never do that for you.
•
Do you have at least a 550 credit score or above? We want you to know that we work with flexible & creative financing options that are available to so many people.
