Going into 2023, there was a lot of talk about a possible recession that would cause the housing market to crash. Some in the media were even forecasting home prices would drop by as much as 10-20%—and that might have made you feel a bit unsure about buying a home.
But here’s what actually happened: home prices went up more than usual. Brian D. Luke, Head of Commodities at S&P Dow Jones Indices, explains: “Looking back at the year, 2023 appears to have exceeded average annual home price gains over the past 35 years.”
The big takeaway? Home prices almost always go up.
As an article from Forbes says: “. . . the U.S. real estate market has a long and reliable history of increasing in value over time.”
In fact, since 1980, the only time home prices dropped was during the housing market crash. Fortunately, the market today isn’t like it was in 2008. For starters, there aren’t enough available homes to meet buyer demand right now. On top of that, homeowners have a tremendous amount of equity, so they’re on much stronger footing than they were back then. That means there won’t be a wave of foreclosures that causes prices to fall.
When you’re a homeowner, you own something that typically becomes more valuable over time. And as your home’s value appreciates, your net worth grows.
So, if you’re financially stable and prepared for the costs and expenses of homeownership, buying a home might make a lot of sense for you.
Home prices almost always go up over time. That makes buying a home a smart move, if you’re ready and able. DM me to talk about your goals and what’s available in our area.

Considering buying a home this spring? There aren`t enough houses for sale to meet buyer demand, which means you could find yourself in a multiple-offer scenario. Here are some tips to ensure yours stands out from the competition. When you’re ready to explore what`s available in our area, DM me.

When my fiancé and I started looking to buy our first home and was connected with Lauren Brandle from the Laurie Dau Team we knew we were in the best hands. Lauren immediately dove in and actively listened to all of our wants and needs, while providing her own advice to us being so new to this whole process (which we always asked for and was always welcome)! We ended up finding not only an expert in her field, but an even better friend in Lauren.
We found our dream home after a wild ride. We truly couldn’t have done it without Lauren and her countless trips to the house in between showings and appointments to finalize details, consistent updates, and clear communication. Always having our best interest at heart— I truly recommend this team! Thank you again, Lauren! - Jenna, Bought in Doylestown

It’s still a seller’s market. Although there are a few more listings popping up compared to last year, the overall number of homes for sale is still really low. That means if you`re thinking about selling, you`ve got an advantage. Ready to get your house on the market? Let`s chat.

First time buying a home and was very confused by the process at first. Cole and Laurie really walked me through the process and helped me with every step. Cole found me a house in Easton that was perfect, in a great location at a great price, and helped negotiate credits and work for me that saved me a lot. Would absolutely recommend Cole and the whole Laurie Dau Team. - Egan, Bought in Wilson Borough

What To Know About Credit Scores Before Buying a Home
If you want to buy a home, you should know your credit score is a critical piece of the puzzle when it comes to qualifying for a mortgage. Lenders review your credit to see if you typically make payments on time, pay back debts, and more. Your credit score can also help determine your mortgage rate.
That means your credit score may feel even more important to your homebuying plans right now since mortgage rates are a key factor in affordability. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the median credit score in the U.S. for those taking out a mortgage is 770. But that doesn’t mean your credit score has to be perfect.
Working with a trusted lender is the best way to get more information on how your credit score could factor into your home loan and the mortgage rate you’re able to get.
If you’re looking for ways to improve your score, Experian highlights some things you may want to focus on:
• Your Payment History: Late payments can have a negative impact by dropping your score. Focus on making payments on time and paying any existing late charges quickly. • Your Debt Amount (relative to your credit limits): When it comes to your available credit amount, the less you’re using, the better. Focus on keeping this number as low as possible. • Credit Applications: If you’re looking to buy something, don’t apply for additional credit. When you apply for new credit, it could result in a hard inquiry on your credit that drops your score.
Finding ways to make your credit score better could help you get a lower mortgage rate. If you want to learn more, talk to a trusted lender.

If you’re planning to buy your first home, saving up for all the costs involved can feel daunting, especially when it comes to the down payment. That might be because you’ve heard you need to save 20% of the home’s price to put down. Well, that isn’t necessarily the case.
Unless specified by your loan type or lender, it’s typically not required to put 20% down. That means you could be closer to your homebuying dream than you realize.
According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the median down payment hasn’t been over 20% since 2005. In fact, for all homebuyers today it’s only 15%. And it’s even lower for first-time homebuyers at just 8%.
The big takeaway? You may not need to save as much as you originally thought.
Learn About Resources That Can Help You Toward Your Goal
According to Down Payment Resource, there are also over 2,000 homebuyer assistance programs in the U.S., and many of them are intended to help with down payments. With so many resources available to help with your down payment, the best way to find what you qualify for is by consulting with your loan officer or broker. They know about local grants and loan programs that may help you out.
Don’t let the misconception that you have to have 20% saved up hold you back. If you’re ready to become a homeowner, lean on the professionals to find resources that can help you make your dreams a reality.
Keep in mind that you don`t always need a 20% down payment to buy a home. If you`re looking to make a move this year, DM me to start the conversation about your homebuying goals.
If you’re looking to buy a home in 2024, getting pre-approved is a key piece of the puzzle. Mortgage pre-approval means a lender checks your finances and decides how much you’re qualified to borrow. As more buyers re-enter the market, it’ll help you make a strong offer that stands out from the crowd. Talk to a trusted professional to learn more and begin your homebuying process today.

Zack did a great job representing us on our recent home purchase. He handled our offer successfully in a competitive market, and then was very responsive and thorough in handling the details up to our settlement. On a personal level, he was a pleasure to deal with as well. We couldn’t have been more satisfied with the service Zack provided.

“Laurie and her team took great care to ensure our home sold quickly and efficiently. We were in a situation where I had to be out-of-state and thus away from our home for the entire selling process. With many realtors, this would require me to stay on top of them for every-single-part-of-the-process. Not the case with Laurie's team. They had everyt…hing lined up for us to make sure the experience was seamless. In today's world, a realtor is a luxury service for sellers who need the extra care and attention. Laurie's team provided that experience and then some! Give them a call if you are considering buying/selling in the greater Philly/Doylestown area.”Read More ▾

“In this insane real estate market, we were becoming beyond frustrated losing out on multiple offers and with lack of communication by our previous agent who we felt wasn’t being aggressive enough for us. I reached out to Lauren Brandle and I couldn’t be more grateful that I did! From the minute I reached out to the minute we walked away from the se…ttlement table with the keys to our new home in our hands, Lauren went above and beyond what I would expect out of even the most aggressive realtor. She was in CONSTANT communication with me whether day or night, answered every question I had almost immediately, got us in to see the house same day, and when it came time for the offer and negotiating, she never backed down and worked hard for us. Even sick in bed with the flu during our inspection, one of her teammates came in her place, and Lauren was texting me the entire time from bed to make sure everything was ok. If you want a competent, aggressive, knowledgeable realtor who will not let you down, call Lauren Brandle at Laurie Dau Real Estate, you will not be disappointe”Read More ▾

“From the moment we met Zachary until our Closing, we had a 5+ experience with him and his team. This is the agent you will want to help you find a home! We were moving from NJ to PA so Zack's knowledge of all the Bucks County towns and what each has to offer was very beneficial to us. He took the time to get to know us and what we wanted. He truly …seemed to know what was a good fit and what wasn't and he wouldn't let us settle until we found the right house.
Zack always made time for our questions and last minute "must see" appointments. He never made us feel like we were bothering him - in fact, he made us feel like we were his No.1 priority although he has a long list of clients. During walk throughs, he would be as interested as us in the bones of the house - the neighborhood - and what work that would have to be done to make it perfect for us. He took an interest in our "must have" list and never lost sight of it just for a sale. We knew he wanted us to find the perfect house for us and he hung in there with us until we found it - no pressure!
There is NO ONE more dedicated, professional, and responsive than Zack. The bidding and closing processes can be so stressful but Zack had our backs throughout. He worked diligently behind the scenes with so many individuals, always kept us updated, always explained the various processes, and seemed as happy as we were at Closing. He and the team at Laurie Dau Realty are exceptional!!! They are very knowledgeable, always responsive, and make you feel like you are the only one they are servicing at that moment. The entire team works behind the scenes to give you the confidence to make that very important decision on the "house" that you select to make your "home"”Read More ▾
