If buying a home is on your radar, you’ve probably been keeping an eye on mortgage rates and home prices. But don’t forget about homeowners insurance.

After more than a year of headlines talking about how home prices are going to crash, the latest data shows that price growth may be starting to pick back up again.

Today’s home prices have a lot of buyers – especially first-time buyers – wondering if there’s even anything out there that’s in their budget.

If you’ve thought about buying a home in the past few years, you may have run into two frustrations: asking prices that kept climbing and too few homes to choose from.

Negotiations are back. More buyers are asking for better deals, and more sellers are giving them. Builders are throwing in extras, too.
