Aaron Ballard+FollowHome sellers: What you must revealThinking about selling your home? There’s more to it than just sprucing up the place—what you tell buyers can make or break the deal (and keep you out of legal hot water). From past water damage and noisy neighbors to whether the house ever had asbestos or pest problems, sellers are required to disclose a lot more than most people realize. Each state has its own rules, so it’s smart to double-check what’s mandatory where you live. If you’ve ever wondered what you’d want to know before buying, this list is a must-read. What do you think should always be disclosed? #RealEstate #homeselling #realestate00Share
Denise Kemp+FollowWhy Your Grown Kids Aren’t Moving Out YetGood news for renters: house rental prices are finally dipping, especially in London and the South East. But don’t expect your adult kids to fly the nest just yet—many are sticking around to save money. The drop in rent is thanks to more first-time buyers and fewer newcomers needing rentals. But with landlords leaving the market, these lower rents might not last. If you can, staying home could be your best money move for now! #RealEstate #rentalmarket #moneyhacks00Share

davenportmeghan+FollowWhere Can You Actually Afford a House?Thinking about buying a home? Here’s the scoop: in most big U.S. cities, the average person can’t afford 3 out of 4 homes on the market. If you want a shot at homeownership without breaking the bank, check out cities like Pittsburgh or Detroit—over 40% of homes there are within reach for regular folks. Meanwhile, Miami and LA? Practically off-limits unless you win the lottery. Until more homes are built, don’t expect prices to chill out. #RealEstate #HomeBuying #MoneyTips00Share
russellolson+FollowHomebuyers: Mortgage Rates Just Got Cheaper!Here’s a money hack for your next coffee break: mortgage rates just dipped to their lowest since 2022, thanks to a big government bond sale.
