Don’t Be Spooked by Homebuying

Couple talking to CB JENI sales manager about buying a home.

Buying a home is a big step, but it doesn’t have to be scary. This fall, the market is less frightening for people ready to invest in their future. Let’s bust some common homebuying fears and show you why now is a great time to buy.

Fear #1: “There are no good homes to choose from.”

The Reality: More Homes Are on the Market!

For the first time since the pandemic, the number of homes for sale is growing. According to Realtor.com, active listings have increased, giving you a much better selection. This means now is a great time to jump into the market with more homes to choose from, so that you can find the right fit for you.

Fear #2: “Interest rates are too high and unpredictable.”

The Reality: Mortgage Rates Are Easing Up.

While interest rates can seem spooky, Freddie Mac reports that mortgage rates are stabilizing, making it easier to secure financing. Experts agree that with more stable rates and more homes to choose from, buyers are in a stronger position to negotiate. Plus, homebuilders like CB JENI homes often offer special incentives that include rate buydowns!

Fear #3: “I’m going to overpay for a house.”

The Reality: Prices Are More Reasonable—and Builders Like CB JENI Offer Rate Buydowns

Worried about paying too much? You’re not alone—but the market is shifting in your favor. According to Redfin, more sellers are lowering their asking prices, signaling increased flexibility and a more balanced playing field for buyers.

At CB JENI, we’re making it even easier to feel confident about your purchase. Our townhomes are priced competitively for the area, and we work with preferred lenders to offer rate buydown incentives that can reduce your monthly payments—especially in the early years of your mortgage.

With more inventory available and builder-backed incentives, the power is in your hands. That means less worry about overpaying and more excitement about finding the right home.

The Best Time to Buy is This Fall

Data shows that a specific window in the fall is the best time to buy a home. Here’s why:

  • More Choices: Data from Zillow shows there are more homes listed now than at the start of the year.
  • Lower Prices: Historically, homes are less expensive in the fall, compared to the yearly price peak.
  • Less Competition: Fewer people are looking to buy, which means you won’t have to fight off as many competing offers.

This fall’s housing market is a great opportunity. With more homes to choose from, stable mortgage rates, and more negotiating power, the path to owning your dream home is clearer than ever.
