Not professional advice
Everything on BestRealtyTips.com is for informational and educational purposes only. It is not, and should not be treated as:
- Legal advice
- Financial advice
- Tax advice
- Real estate advice for your specific situation
- Mortgage or lending advice
The writers on this site are consumers and small-scale investors sharing what they have learned from their own experience. None of them is a licensed real estate agent, broker, attorney, CPA, Certified Financial Planner, mortgage broker, or any other regulated professional. They do not pretend to be, and any article that touches legal, tax, or specific financial territory will say so and recommend that you consult a licensed professional for your specific situation.
Market data
The “Real Estate by the Numbers” section on the homepage displays data pulled from the St. Louis Federal Reserve’s FRED API, which aggregates official data from sources including Freddie Mac, NAR, the U.S. Census Bureau, S&P CoreLogic, and the BLS. These numbers are automatically updated on a weekly schedule and are labeled with their source and observation date. Market conditions change constantly, and any number shown on this site represents only the most recent observation at the time it was fetched.
Citations
Articles on this site cite primary sources (NAR, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, CFPB, HUD, IRS, Federal Reserve, Case-Shiller, BLS, Census Bureau) for specific factual claims. If you find a citation that seems wrong or out of date, please tell us via the contact page and we will check and correct it.
Your situation is not our situation
Real estate decisions depend heavily on your specific market, your financial circumstances, your risk tolerance, your tax situation, and legal factors that vary by state and sometimes by county. No article on this site is written with your specific situation in mind, because we do not know your situation. Please do not treat a general article as if it were tailored advice for you.
If you take action based on something you read here
That is your decision and your responsibility. We do our best to give information that is honest, well-sourced, and useful. We cannot guarantee that it is right for your situation, and we cannot be held responsible for outcomes that result from decisions you make. When in doubt, talk to a licensed professional.
Affiliate and advertising disclosure
