Data centers probably weren’t on your list of things to think about when buying or selling a home.

For most first-time buyers, the hardest part of buying a home is making the numbers work. You budget, you save, and the finish line still feels far away.

You’ve been waiting for something to change before you buy. It just might not be the thing you expected…

Most people think a newly built home costs more than an existing one. But right now, that’s actually backwards.

Lately, headlines have floated an eye-catching idea about tapping into your 401(k) to cover a down payment on a home.

You’re scrolling through listings on your phone and everything looks good until you see the price (or the estimated monthly payment). Then you close the app.

A recent survey from Talker Research asked Americans to pick one word to describe how 2026 has felt so far. The winner? Stressful. And honestly, there’s been a lot going on.
