Stay Informed with a Monthly Home Report from North Star Mortgage
At North Star Mortgage Network, we believe that homeownership is more than just a purchase — it’s an investment in your future. That’s why we are proud to offer our clients access to a Home Report: a free, automated monthly update designed to help you stay informed about the health and value of your home after closing.
In today’s ever-changing real estate market, having reliable information about your home’s worth, equity, and local market trends is essential. Our Home Report keeps you front and center with all the important data you need to make smart, informed decisions about your investment — not just when you buy or sell, but every single month.
What’s Included in Your Home Report?
Each Home Report is filled with valuable insights, tailored specifically to your property and location. Here’s what you’ll find:
- Purchase Price and Home Loan Information: Track the original purchase price and your current loan details.
- Current Equity and Automated Valuation Models: Get an updated estimate of your home’s market value based on a combination of historical and current sales data, plus your home’s specific features.
- Appreciation Forecast: See projections for how your home’s value could grow over time.
- Home Stats: Details such as number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and total square footage are kept updated.
- Area Sales Statistics and Trends: Stay on top of nearby home listings, pending sales, and recent closing prices.
- Home Maintenance and Financial Tips: Receive monthly advice on protecting and enhancing your property’s value.
- Market Activity Reports: Find out what’s happening with local inventory and pricing trends in your neighborhood.
- Referral Widget: Share your experience and help friends or family discover North Star Mortgage by referring them easily.
Market Trends Around You
The Home Report also offers a detailed look at Market Trends Around You. This tool lets you easily compare key real estate data across different cities and zip codes — including median list prices, number of active listings, and average days on market.
You can also view active and pending listings on an interactive map, making it simple to see how your neighborhood stacks up.
By default, Market Trends are prefilled with zip codes near your property’s location. However, you can customize this feature to track up to five cities or zip codes that you’re most interested in. Whether you’re curious about a neighboring city or looking ahead at your next move, Market Trends keeps you informed.
How Do We Estimate Your Home’s Value?
Our Home Report uses an Automatic Valuation Model (AVM) sourced from one of the nation’s most reputable real estate data providers. We pull from a mixture of:
- Historical sales data
- Current comparable listings
- Home-specific attributes (square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, and more)
- Market forecasts
We take a balanced approach to home values, selecting a point value between the middle and high end of the AVM range. This gives you a fair and realistic view of your home’s estimated worth — not inflated, not low-balled.
Tools Designed to Help You Build Wealth
One of the most powerful features of the Home Report is the Savings Calculator. This simple tool shows you:
- Interest Savings: Find out exactly how much interest you could save over the life of your loan by making additional principal payments.
- Time Savings: See how much sooner you could pay off your mortgage entirely by paying a little extra each month.
For example, adding just $200 to your monthly mortgage payment could shorten your loan term by nearly 7 years and save you over $23,000 in interest. The Home Report breaks this down clearly, helping you plan smarter and build equity faster.
Why Stay in the Loop?
Too many homeowners lose track of their investment after closing. Markets shift, values rise and fall, and opportunities can be missed without the right information. Your Home Report is designed to empower you every month with:
- A true understanding of your home’s financial health
- Insight on when it might be the right time to refinance, sell, or invest
- Smart strategies to maximize your home’s equity
This isn’t just about monitoring numbers — it’s about making sure you’re always one step ahead when it comes to your greatest asset.
