A new proposal was introduced this week to help address the housing shortage by encouraging more home construction across the country.

For first-time homebuyers, this could mean more inventory, less competition, and a healthier market overall. While changes like this take time, it’s a reminder that opportunities can open up when you’re prepared and informed.

Understanding your options early can make a big difference when the timing is right.

The FHA (Federal Housing Administration) has made a change to their rules. Starting May 25th, people who are not permanent residents (like those on temporary visas) will no longer be eligible to apply for an FHA loan. This rule change only applies to new loan applications made after that date.

Attention home buyers and agents!!!!!!!

If you have clients who this new rule applies to, make sure to close on their homes before May 25th. After that date, non-permanent resident aliens will no longer be eligible for FHA loans!!!

Why Do Mortgage Rates Change?

Mortgage rates are tied to Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) -bundles of home loans that investors buy and sell.

1. When MBS are in high demand, rates go down 📉 (cheaper loans).
2. When demand drops, rates go up 📈 (more expensive loans).
3. Things like inflation, the economy, and Fed decisions affect MBS, causing mortgage rates to change daily.

That’s why timing matters when locking in your rate!

PSA for Homebuyers, Lenders, and Realtors!

⚠️ Check your student loans! The COVID forbearance period has officially ended.

If you’re 91 days delinquent on your student loans by April 1st, it will be reported to the credit bureaus for the first time in five years — which could tank your credit score and make it harder to buy a home, finance a car, or even rent an apartment.

Contact your loan servicer ASAP to check your loan status and any payments due. You may need to request a hardship deferment or start making payments to avoid negative credit impacts!

Some federal student loan borrowers could see missed payments negatively affect their credit scores, and the effects of that could linger for multiple years afterward.

Interest rates are heavily influenced by inflation data, and tomorrow’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) report could cause rates to move up or down. If inflation is higher than expected, rates could rise; if it’s lower, rates could drop. CPI tends to have a bigger impact on rates than most other reports, so it’s worth keeping an eye on.

The report, set for release at 8:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday 3/12/2025.

February's Consumer Price Index will serve as the latest test of whether inflation pressures have eased as investors assess recent growth concerns.

Why Choosing the Right Lender Matters 🏡

💡 What is "Clear to Close"?

This is the final step where your lender confirms that all conditions are met, and you're ready to close on your dream home. It’s a big deal!

Why it Matters for You:

1. Smooth Closing Process: No surprises! A good lender works behind the scenes to ensure everything is ready for your closing day.

2. Less Stress: Knowing your financing is secure gives you peace of mind during an exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) time.

3. On-Time Closing: Delays can cause major headaches—or even cost you the home. A great lender keeps everything on track.

4. A Team That Cares: Choosing the right lender is like having an extra teammate who is just as invested in your success as you are.
