\"Life-Changing<\/p>\n

Life is a journey filled with unexpected twists and turns, like the excitement of welcoming a new addition, retiring and starting a new adventure, or the bittersweet feeling of an empty nest. If something like this is changing in your own life, you may be considering buying<\/a> or selling<\/a> a house. That\u2019s because through all these life-altering events, there is one common thread\u2014the need to move<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And, these big life changes are going to continue to impact people moving forward, even with the current affordability challenges brought on by higher mortgage rates<\/a> and rising home prices<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As Claire Trapasso, Executive News Editor at Realtor.com<\/em>, says<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Because high mortgage rates, elevated home prices, and stubbornly low inventory make today’s housing market particularly challenging, <\/em>many of today’s buyers are motivated by life changes, such as growing families, supporting elderly parents or grown children, or accommodating professional needs<\/em><\/strong>. . .\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Whether you’re beginning your search<\/a> for a home or preparing to sell your current house, you don’t have to go it alone. With their expertise, a real estate agent<\/a> is an invaluable partner who can help you smoothly transition through these big moments in your life. Here are just a few examples.<\/p>\n

When Buying a Home<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re welcoming a new addition and want more space, the need for a new home<\/a> may be a top priority. While higher home prices<\/a> and mortgage rates are creating challenges for buyers, you may have to find a way to meet your changing needs, even with today\u2019s mortgage rates.<\/p>\n

A skilled real estate agent can help. Their expertise and knowledge of the local housing market can save you a considerable amount of time and stress. An agent will take the time to understand your specific needs, budget, and preferences, allowing them to narrow down your search and present you with suitable options.<\/p>\n

When Selling a House<\/strong><\/h4>\n
