jilliannoellerealtor “You’re under contract.” Three words that should feel like a win—but this is where deals can fall apart. Lenders re-check your credit right before closing. If anything changes, your loan can be delayed… or denied. The moment you’re under contract, avoid this: No big purchases on credit (cars, furniture, appliances—even “no interest” deals count) No new credit cards (that store discount isn’t worth the risk) No job changes (stability matters) No large cash deposits without documentation No co-signing for anyone (their debt becomes yours) Rule of thumb: keep everything exactly the same until you have keys in hand. No surprises. No last-minute stress. No heartbreak at the closing table. 💬 Comment HELP if you have questions about real estate or your current real estate situation. @jilliannoellerealtor #weatherfordhomes #WeatherfordTXHomes #santo #santotx #mineralwellstexas #MineralWells #palopintocountytexas #palopintocountyrealestate #palopintocountytx #johnsoncountytx #johnsoncounty #granburyhomes #granburytexas #hoodcountyrealestate #hoodcountynews #hoodcountry #fortworth #fortworthtx

jilliannoellerealtor The Top Considerations (Besides the Price) When Buying a Home in Weatherford, Texas Price matters—but it’s not the whole picture. The right home is about how it fits your life today and tomorrow. Here’s what smart buyers look at beyond the number: • Location & lifestyle – commute, schools, walkability, noise, and how the area feels day to day • Monthly costs – taxes, insurance, HOA, utilities… not just the mortgage • Condition of the home – roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical (big-ticket items matter) • Layout & functionality – does it work for how you actually live? • Resale potential – even if you’re not selling soon, future value matters • Neighborhood trends – appreciation, inventory, and long-term desirability A home should make financial sense and support your lifestyle. 👉 Thinking about buying? DM me “HOME” and I’ll help you evaluate the whole picture—not just the price—so you can buy with confidence. jillian.cortez #weatherfordhomes #WeatherfordTXHomes #parkercountytexas #parkercounty #santo #mineralwellstexas #MineralWells #palopintocountytexas #palopintocountyrealestate #palopintocountytx #johnsoncountytx #johnsoncountytexas #johnsoncounty #granburysquare #granburyhomes #granburyrealtor

jilliannoellerealtor Everyone talks about the mortgage. —But let’s talk about the maintenance. On average, homeowners should expect to spend 1% to 4% of their home’s value every year just on upkeep and repairs. On a $400,000 home, that is $4,000 to $16,000 annually. Every single year. Major systems do not fail randomly. They fail on a timeline. Roof replacement can run $8,000 to $20,000 HVAC systems often cost $7,000 to $15,000 Water heaters average $2,000 to $4,000 Windows can easily exceed $15,000 And most of these expenses tend to stack up around the 10 to 20 year mark. Not neatly spaced out. Owning a home is not just a payment. It is a long term financial commitment that hits hard on people who do not plan ahead. This is why so many homeowners feel broke even with good incomes. The costs do not show up monthly. They may show up all at once or consecutively. Plan ahead with an interest bearing savings account.
