Real estate rumors spread like crazy, especially this time of year. As your Official Trusted Realtors For the Rest of Your Life, we will take it upon ourselves to bust a few big ones:

• Myth #1: You must put 20% down to buy. Nope. Plenty of loans start at 3–5% down (and yes, still offer sane monthly payments). We can connect you with an amazing lender to help you figure out what's right for you.

• Myth #2: Rates have to drop before it’s smart to buy. Waiting might cost you more if prices keep climbing, and prices are expected to climb another 3% this year. You can always refinance; you can’t rewind price growth. Say it with us: "Don't try to time the market."

• Myth #3: You can’t buy and sell at the same time without losing your mind. It just takes a solid game plan, and we have TWELVE different strategies to make it happen. Totally doable.

• Myth #4: Summer is a bad time to list because “everyone’s on vacation.” Actually, summer buyers are serious. They often want to be settled before school starts.

Say it with us again: "Don't try to time the market."
