• Experience 30 Years of Tradition at the West Virginia Zoo
The West Virginia Zoo has experienced tremendous growth since it was established 30 years ago. Initially, the West Virginia Zoo was a small, local attraction, featuring a select few species of animals like deer, cougars, and black bears. It was a popular place for families to visit from the start, and all of those visitors have helped the zoo grow into what it has become today. Now, there are more than 30 different species of animals to see from all over the world, while the zoo's commitment to community, conservation, and sustainability remain as strong as ever.

Buying a home is a significant investment. However, before investing in a house, you must save up a down payment to qualify for a loan. Our real estate agents understand that this can be a daunting prospect, and yet it's not insurmountable. With careful planning, a little research, and strategic use of your money, you can reach your down-payment goal and step into the home of your dreams.
• The 20% Myth
You've likely heard that you need to save 20% of the home's purchase price as a down payment. That's not accurate. You can purchase a home with as little as 0%-5% down for most loans. However, until you've paid down 20% of the loan, you must pay for mortgage insurance. For this reason, most homeowners strive to pay off at least 20% of the loan as quickly as possible.

None of us look forward to moving because we're concerned with changes brought on by advancing years. For some, this will mean downsizing, thoughts which may inspire panic.

If you're looking for the home where you want to spend your senior years, or if you're looking to sell your home so you can make your next move, you may find the home you want among Morgantown homes for sale. But as you shop, keep in mind some of these tips from our experienced real estate staff involving downsizing—and rightsizing.
