Should I sell my house now to use the equity, even if I have to buy my next home at a higher mortgage rate?

We have outgrown our starter home and have built up a good amount of equity over the past five years. We really need an extra bedroom and a bigger yard for our growing family. However, giving up our current low mortgage rate makes us hesitant to make a move right now. How do families decide when the need for space outweighs keeping a great rate?

Privacy fence on my property?

My neighbor just put up a huge privacy fence that’s actually six inches onto my property line. I’m planning to sell my house in a few months. Do I need to make them move it before I list, or can I just tell the new buyers where the real line is?

Should my partner and I buy or keep renting together in South Florida in 2026?

My partner and I have been renting in Boca Raton for two years and our lease is up in a few months. Combined we make decent money and we've been saving, but every time we run the numbers it feels different than what we hear nationally. Mortgage rates are still hovering around 6.25%, insurance keeps climbing, and condo HOA fees scare us after everything we've read . We're not sure if we'll stay in this area long-term, maybe 4 or 5 years, hard to say. How do we actually figure out whether buying makes sense for us as a couple right now, or if we should rent another year?

I want a different price for the house than my ex

Me and my ex-husband are selling our house, but we can't agree on a price. He wants to list it high and wait, but I want it gone now. Can the real estate agent pick a price for us, or do we have to go to mediation just to get the thing on the market?

Do I need to pay off solar panels before selling a house?

I bought solar panels last year and I'm still paying them off. If I sell my house, does the new buyer have to take over my monthly payments, or do I have to pay off the whole $25,000 balance at the closing table?

Are there down payment assistance programs for first-time buyers?

I have been saving up for a year, but the housing market in my area is getting more expensive. I heard there might be state or local grants that can help with the upfront costs. How do I find out if I qualify for these programs, and do they restrict what kind of house I can buy?
