You don't need 20% down to purchase a home! One of the biggest misconceptions for renters is the amount of down payment needed. Only 11% realize that a home could be purchased with just 5% down, and about 45% believe that a down payment of around 20% is needed. This is according to the latest survey from the National Association of Realtors.

Additionally, two-thirds of millennial renters say they don’t have enough saved for a down payment, but that's because many felt they needed to save 20% of the purchase price according to Apartment List.

If you are renting, you are getting left behind. The average homeowner has a net worth 40 times higher than that of a renter. Many millennials are already seeing this. For the first time ever, 50% of millennials are now homeowners.

Rents will likely continue to rise! Don’t miss your chance to start building wealth through homeownership today. Reach out to me so I can share more about the benefits of owning a home.

The volatility of the current economic situation continues to force constant change in mortgage rates. Economists were hit with a gut punch when the latest government data showed inflation rising at its fastest pace since 1981.

Anddddd the day has come where 6% mortgage rates are a thing 😮
💯Good news, monthly payment is what matters most and home prices aren’t going to magically drop. The market will certainly soften a bit and already is… aka less multiple offer situations. It will become easier for buyers to actually have a chance at getting their offers accepted.
💯Buyers must be educated properly to keep them informed and in the game. On the surface and how the news presents the rate increases is if it’s the worst time to buy EVER. Which is completely false.
💯Real estate is arguably the safest investment especially with the current state of the stock market. The conversation needs to be shifted to monthly payment over rate. Buying a home that will appreciate in value year over year will always beat renting.. The longer you wait to buy in this market the higher the cost will be. You can always refinance an interest rate but you can’t go back two years and buy a home for 50k less.
💯Control the narrative and educate your buyers on why it’s still an excellent time to purchase!
Let’s go!!

It's hard to quantify just how bad today was for mortgage rates because there's no quality day-over-day mortgage rate data from before 2009 (when we created our own).  In that time, there has only been one other comparable day to today in terms of the jump in mortgage rates. As a fa...

"It is always a good reminder that the Fed does not set mortgage interest rates, but the Fed’s moves do indirectly affect rates. Most consumers will feel the effects of the Fed’s rate increase in their credit card interest rate or their rate on a home equity line of credit (HELOC). Indirectly, banks will make up for paying more to borrow money themselves by making their own borrowers pay more to take out a loan."

For the first time in 16 years the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate at consecutive meetings. How it affects you plus a look at a mortgage option for borrowers that can help offset rising rates. ⤵️
