When buying a home, you have the option to include contingencies in your purchase contract. These protect you by setting certain conditions that must be met for the contract to remain valid. If any contingency isn't satisfied, you can back out of the sale without penalty.

If you've received your Closing Disclosure from your lender, congratulations! You're almost at the finish line of your home buying journey, ready to celebrate with keys in hand.

This week, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation data was released, and the results met expectations. This, along with recent GDP estimates, employment reports, and personal income/spending figures, paints a stable economic picture.

This indicates that a 'soft landing' for the economy could be within reach.
