Your Real Estate Snapshot

In his 2023 State of the State address, Governor Abbott made cutting property taxes for Texans an emergency item for the 88th Legislature. Under Senate Bill 2 and Senate Bill 3, $18 billion of Texas' historic budget surplus will be allocated toward driving down school district property tax rates, increasing homestead exemptions for Texas homeowners, and increasing Franchise Tax exemptions and appraisal caps for small businesses.

Mortgage tip of the month

When it comes to your income and your employment, a lender may view your situation differently than you view your own situation. Lenders use the different loan program guidelines when evaluating your specific scenario. They are looking at the earning trends and stability of income. Things that speak to stability are things like being on the job for 2+ years, earning a set hourly wage that doesn’t vary or having a salary.
However, employment and income scenarios that typically need further evaluation are things like shift differential, overtime, bonus, commission, changes in employment in the last two years, working two jobs, and being self-employed to name a few. If your income has a variability component, then I encourage you to get pre-approved early in your home buying search so that a lender can accurately qualify you for the amount you are looking for.
