Spooked by the Market? Let’s Debunk Those Scary Stories!

October 30, 2025

Buying or selling a home can feel spooky with all the myths out there. But let’s clear up some of those misconceptions so you can make confident decisions.

Myth 1: It’s a Bad Time to Buy/Sell in the Fall

Actually, fall is a great time! Serious buyers are still out there, and less competition means more opportunity.

Myth 2: You Need a 20% Down Payment

Nope! Many loan programs offer much lower down payments, and there are options for first-time buyers.

Myth 3: Wait for Interest Rates to Drop

Waiting for a lower rate could mean missing out on your dream home. You can always refinance later if rates drop.

Myth 4: Selling During the Holidays is a Nightmare

Not true! Buyers who shop during the holidays are often more serious, and your home can look extra inviting.

Don’t let these myths scare you away from your real estate goals! If you have questions or are ready to make a move, I’m here to help.

Happy Halloween!
