If you’re buying a home this spring, today’s housing market can feel like a challenge.

• Since inflation is increasing the cost of goods and services, it may make sense to look for an energy-efficient home.
• Energy prices have increased over the last year, so look for energy-efficient features in your home search.

In the United States, there are over 72 million millennials.

As the housing market continues to change, you may be wondering where it’ll go from here.

Have you been saving up to buy a home this year? 

• Buying a home is a major way to build wealth and gain financial stability.
• That’s why, across different income levels, the largest part of most homeowners’ net worth is their equity.

We’re still in a sellers’ market.

• If you’re thinking about buying a home, be sure to plan for closing costs.
• Closing costs are typically 2% to 5% of the total purchase price of a home, and they can include things like government recording costs, appraisal fees, and more.

Throughout Women’s History Month, we reflect on the impact women have in our lives, and that includes impact on the housing market.
