In 2024, the number of misconceptions about buying, selling, and owning a home has never been higher. Homebuilders and real estate agents have worked hard to debunk myths in recent years – for example, with current financing options, you don’t need a $20,000 downpayment to purchase a new home, and buying a townhome is no longer a depreciating asset. However, in the aftermath of the global pandemic and the local Georgia housing market increases, incorrect assumptions have been running rampant.

Here are three common myths about the 2024 real estate market in Georgia we at Paran Homes want to help clear the air about. As a new home shopper, you should know these as you enter the housing market.

Myth 1: The Housing Market Is Going to Crash

One of the most popular myths circulating about the 2024 housing market is the impending crash. According to Fannie Mae’s most recent Home Purchase Sentiment Index, consumer confidence with regard to buying a home is low, partially due to memories of the housing bubble from several years ago. It’s understandable why some prospective homebuyers may hold this belief, especially given the volatility in the market over the past few years. However, a closer examination reveals a more detailed scope of what’s actually going on.

Reality:

Just like how timing the stock market is ill-advised by financial experts and hedge fund managers, forecasting a housing market crash with certainty is nearly impossible. Various factors, such as economic indicators, interest rates, and housing supply, influence market trends and volatility. Currently, the majority of experts believe a housing market crash is unlikely in 2024 and the next several years based on current data.

“[There’s] just simply not enough supply. So the economics of supply and demand, if there’s a shortage, prices simply cannot crash.” – Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors

“The U.S. is currently between 2.3 million and 6.5 million units short of a healthy housing supply, according to Realtor.com. Even if something happened that caused a lot of homebuyers to drop out of the market, demand likely still couldn’t drop low enough to push prices down significantly.” (Business Insider)

In short, Supply is too far off from demand for there to be any significant crash in the coming years.

Myth 2: Renting Is Always Cheaper Than Buying a House

The debate between renting and buying has begun to reach a new audience, with the inexperienced advocating that the benefits of renting far outweigh buying a home in 2024. What are those supposed benefits? Maintenance and repair are primarily cited, even though repair is covered by warranty on a new Paran Home, and both are covered with the purchase of a townhome.

Reality:

The decision between renting and buying depends on individual circumstances, including the house’s location, financial goals, and long-term plans. While renting has a perception of flexibility for those who want to move every 12 months and lower costs during the first year of the lease (no downpayment or closing costs, all maintenance covered), renting comes without the stability and gains in equity owning a home brings.

Significant rent increases have been in effect throughout the country for years, and those looking to solidify their budget find that paying a mortgage is better for their peace of mind. According to Apartment List, the national median rent is around $250 per month higher than it was three years ago. The national median rent increased by 0.5% in April 2024 alone, yet those with fixed-rate mortgages pay no increase in principal & interest payments on their homes. The longer they stay, the more equity they accumulate. The longer you stay in a rental, the more equity you have given to your landlord, as grateful as landlords can be.

In short: Potential homebuyers should carefully assess their situation before making a decision. Keep in mind that land is one of the few things they’re not making more of, and you would be much happier keeping the equity you’ve paid for vs. donating that equity over even 5 years to someone you may have never even met.

Myth 3: It’s Too Difficult to Get Financing in Today’s Market

While it’s true many of our parents bought their home before credit scoring existed, with no downpayment, or monetary credit from the housing equivalent of the “Cash for Clunkers” program, safe finance options are more abundant than ever in 2024.

Reality:

The “Sign & Drive” financing that contributed to the housing bubble collapse is long gone, but Paran Homes has never advocated for that type of loan for our homebuyers. FHA-insured mortgages are available today, which take the best parts of the older B-paper loans (easy qualify, easy terms, easy down payments) and marry them with safer quality standards that don’t overextend borrowers or homeowners. Other options like VA loans or USDA loans have included homebuyers from various tax brackets and financial situations, so purchasing in a new community from Paran Homes is very obtainable!

The Bottom Line

Home prices are determined by two things: supply and demand.

There is a lot of pent-up demand in the housing market right now that has been kept at bay because of the affordability problem. But as affordability improves, more people will move forward with their homebuying plans.

Don’t miss out on purchasing the home you want because you’re too busy timing the market. Talk to a Paran Homes agent today about your options and ask about our current promotions that can save you money on your investment. We can’t wait to welcome you home!

Spring in the South is a funny thing. One day, you’re bundled in sweaters and scarves, and the next, you’re donning shorts and flip-flops, only to return to the sweater the third day. It can be frustrating, but rest assured – the summer heat is coming!

No one likes to think about spring cleaning but as a new Paran homeowner, it will be easy! This is a great time to really get to know your house. There are some future great habits to call your own to ensure that you’ll love your new home forever. Do these things when spring weather is warm and you will be prepared for the summer fun when it’s in full bloom.

1. Keep your AC tuned-up. Your brand new home and state-of-the-art AC are terrific performers, but give it a quick once-over to make yourself familiar with it. Look at the filter and make sure it’s clean and there’s nothing obstructing proper airflow. Moving forward, routinely check the filter and keep things clean as your best defense in staying cool. We recommend changing your filter once per month, even with filters designed for longer life. This will keep your HVAC system in tip-top shape for decades to come.
2. Now that you’re sure the cold air will be pumping, make sure it stays in your house! Of course, your new home is sealed tightly and there are no leaks but as time goes on and activity in your family is steady, get into the habit of doing annual checks. Ensure that the seals on your doors and windows are intact and seal any places where air may escape. If there are any gaps, a simple caulk application should take care of them.
3. Take a look at your gutters. They are clean and clear now and water flows nicely. Next year, after fall foliage has dropped, take a quick look to ensure that they are still clear of leaves and other blockages. Since Spring and summer can bring heavy rains, it’s important to keep water flowing from your gutters to the downspouts, and away from your house.
4. Defend your home against bugs. In this part of the country, warm weather brings out all the many-legged creatures you don’t want at your party. Take a quick stroll around your exterior and remove piles of brush or standing water near your home. This is the best way to reduce the appearance of fire ants, beetles, mosquitoes, and other unwelcome insects in your yard. Exterior perimeter protection and maintenance is the number 1 way to keep your home pest free all year.
5. Your new lawn looks terrific! It’s a great time to decide where to put the hammock, and where to plant the roses. In a couple of years, you can aerate it, dethatch and reseed the grass every 2 to 3 years to keep things looking green and fresh.
6. Visit your garden bed. Get the kids to help! Pull out weeds, till the soil, and select seeds and/or sprouting seedlings that you want to grow. If things look too sparse, fill in some spaces with nice perennial flowers or, maybe, some herbs! Did you know that lavender, mint, basil, petunias, and chrysanthemums are not only lovely, they also repel insects?
7. Now comes the fun part, pull out the pressure washer! Spray down lawn furniture, decking, walkways, etc. and get rid of the winter grunge. Pressure washing saves time and energy over hand washing with buckets and sponges. It’s more efficient and even kind of gratifying. It’s like painting with Clean!
8. Now that things are washed, take a walk around and scan the fence and gates. Take a look at the siding and doors and consider a seasonal welcome mat or flower box. Moving forward, doing a yearly scan will keep you ahead of any small adjustments or repairs that will keep your home perfect.
9. Prepare the grill! This is the time of year when guests will want burgers, hotdogs, and sundried treats from the grill. Is it ready? Turn the grill up to its highest heat and close the hood. After about 15 minutes, scrape the surface with a metal grill brush. Don’t forget the grill box. Scrape out burnt leavings and clean with soapy water then rinse with fresh water. When the grill surface is clean, wipe on a light layer of vegetable-based oil and you’re ready for the party!
10. Don’t forget your other guests. How does that birdbath and bird feeder look? Give them a nice cleaning and refill with fresh water and birdseed.

Of course, inside the house, you may want to change your linens from winter to summer. Clean the windows. Dust the ceiling fans and set them to rotate counter-clockwise to push the cool air down.

After that, you are ready to pull out the shorts and flip-flops. Maybe it’s time to search for grill recipes, try that new mint julep recipe or a new lemonade for the kids. Celebrate summer in your wonderful new Paran Homes house – where quality lives and so does your family!
