🏠 Real Estate Myths That Deserve to Stay in the Grave header image.

It’s that spooky time of year when myths and legends come alive — but not all scary stories are told around campfires. Some haunt the real estate market, too! Let’s put these common misconceptions to rest once and for all.

💀 Myth #1: You Should Only Sell in Spring

Truth: Buyers are active year-round — and with less competition in the fall and winter, your home can actually stand out more.

🧛 Myth #2: You Need 20% Down to Buy a Home

Truth: Many loan programs allow for much lower down payments, and first-time buyers have great options. Talk to a trusted lender to explore what works for you.

🕯️ Myth #3: Don’t Buy During the Holidays

Truth: Serious sellers and motivated buyers make this one of the most efficient times to close — and sometimes, the best deals appear when others are distracted.

👻 Myth #4: You Don’t Need an Agent in a “Hot Market”

Truth: Whether the market’s sizzling or slowing down, expert guidance helps you price correctly, negotiate effectively, and avoid costly mistakes.

 

🎃 Don’t let these myths haunt your real estate goals — knowledge (and a good agent) will keep those fears buried for good!
