Even before this year's hurricane season started, Americans were already feeling the effects of diminishing home affordability. Last year's devastating hurricanes, Harvey, Irma, and Maria added an estimated 282 billion dollars of added material and labor demands to an already stretched thin housing sector. With Hurricane Florence, and perhaps other storms yet to run their course this hurricane season, the U.S housing market will once again become burdened with additional supply and labor demands resulting from disasters, all working against affordable housing. Housing and Hurricane Florence.

The numbers above don't take into consideration rising rent costs over time. When you buy you lock in your cost basis, and begin to reduce the balance of your loan with each passing month. For most people, every year you put off buying, is one more year you'll have to work to pay off a home before you retire. I think we all can agree that time is the one fixed parameter in life, that you can't redo, and that makes every year an important year for paying off your home before your retirement.

People often wonder why so many choose to build a new home versus trying to find an acceptable and often lower cost preowned home. It all comes down to you and what you're trying to accomplish. If you want to control your location, floorplan, lot consideration, colors, and upgrades, etc., then you're a new home buyer.

Late Summer 2018 new home discounts are here and in all price ranges! No need to waste time finding price reductions when you can find them all here with a few mouse clicks.

At ARG we know value when we see it, and can help you find completed inventory or spec home deals, even if they are NOT marked down in MLS! Then we help you negotiate with the builder for their bottom line price. Then when you close your new home, we PAY YOU, with a large New Home Buyer Cash Rebate

During the past month, I worked with a wonderful relocation couple who was looking for a very specific floorplan. They wanted both their boys downstairs, hence were really wanting 3 bedrooms down. They provided me with a list of 9 finalist homes and none of them had the exact floorplan they really wanted. However, to their delight, home number 9's MLS listing information was incorrect and it had the 3 bedrooms down floorplan, 1 Bedroom up, plus Game and Media Room they were hoping to find.

BINGO, they executed their contract on the 10th and closed on the 23rd! That's the power of a great lender, the Core Team of Supreme Lending in McKinney, TX. Thanks Lynn and David!

They got lucky and I can help you connect to the same floorplan, however
