2017 was a great year, and there are some major changes on the horizon that will make 2018 even better. Just a few of the highlights include Conventional as well as FHA loan limits increasing, which will provide more buying power to consumers. In addition, home appreciation is also anticipated to rise at a steady rate of three point two percent, per housingwire.com . Although this is slightly lower than what we have been accustomed to for the past few years, 2018 is shaping up to be a great year!
