Rates started last week a little higher but ended lower after reports surfaced that a peace deal with Iran was close and could possibly be signed over the weekend. Even though both consumer and wholesale inflation continued to rise, markets largely expected those increases, so mortgage rates showed little reaction.

With a peace agreement now in place and the Strait of Hormuz expected to fully reopen, oil prices have fallen and mortgage rates could continue to improve. The biggest test this week comes Wednesday when new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh holds his first Fed meeting and press conference.

โ€ข The Middle East: The peace agreement is expected to be formally signed Friday, and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz should help bring oil prices lower. That would ease inflation concerns and help mortgage rates improve over coming weeks.
โ€ข The Fed: Wednesday's Fed meeting could create some volatility in mortgage rates, especially during and after Chair Warsh's press conference as markets assess the Fed's outlook for future rate policy.
โ€ข Juneteenth: Markets and many mortgage companies will be closed on Friday.

Just got the keys to your new home?๐Ÿ”‘

Before you start decorating and buying new furniture, take care of a few important things first.

โœจGive the house a good cleaning while itโ€™s still empty.

โœจChange the locks, garage codes, and any smart home passwords.

โœจLearn where the water shut-off, breaker box, and air filters are.

โœจTest smoke detectors and replace batteries if needed.

โœจTake photos of each room and major appliance for your records.

โœจUpdate your address with your bank, insurance, subscriptions, and anywhere else that needs it.

One of the biggest mistakes new homeowners make is rushing into projects right away.

Live in the house for a few weeks first. Youโ€™ll learn what you love, what you want to change, and what can wait.

A new home isnโ€™t a race.

Take care of the important stuff first, then make it your own. ๐Ÿก

Save this for later.

This is normal, right?

You find the perfect house online.
You schedule a showing.
You fall in love.

Then you start looking for a mortgage.

The problem?

โŒ You might find out the house costs more than you can afford.

โŒ You could miss out on loan programs or down payment assistance that could save you thousands.

โŒ You may not know what monthly payment actually fits your budget.

โŒ And while you're figuring all that out, another buyer who's already pre-approved may submit an offer first.

Getting pre-approved before you start house hunting doesn't mean you're committing to buy a home.

It simply helps you with:
โœ”๏ธ How much home can you afford
โœ”๏ธ Have more people take you seriously
โœ”๏ธ How much money can you save

The best first step in buying a home isn't finding a house.

It's finding out what you can buy before you start shopping.
Reach out to me or send me a message if you want to start looking around or have any questions.

Step 1: buy a house with the VA loan
Step 2: get inundated with refinance offers starting 5 months after you move in
Step 3: throw them away

Why? They donโ€™t know anything about your loan situation or what can help you. Be ever so careful with your equity.

Can you refinance? Maybe.

Should you refinance? That depends on your situation.

Itโ€™s best to talk with a loan officer who knows the VA loan and will advise you on whatโ€™s best for YOU, not for them.

What they donโ€™t tell you about homeownershipโ€ฆ

One minute youโ€™re relaxing, the next youโ€™re fixing something, mowing something, painting something, or Googling how to fix something.

Itโ€™s worth it, though. Itโ€™s satisfying to put work into a place thatโ€™s yours and make it your own.

Rates moved higher last week, with the biggest moves coming on Friday in reaction to much stronger than expected jobs data. The jobs report smashed expectations, with more than twice as many new jobs created as forecast. The strong labor market makes it even more likely that the Fed will raise its policy rate this year to fight inflation.

After last week's early headlines that Iran could be pulling out of peace talks proved to be inaccurate, there was still no meaningful progress toward a deal. Rates will continue to move alongside oil prices, as well as be affected this week by both consumer and wholesale inflation reports and continued headlines coming out of the Middle East.

โ€ข The Middle East: Despite talks dragging on, mortgage rates are still likely to move along with headlines about any progress toward a deal that could reopen the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping traffic.
โ€ข Economic data: Inflation is bad for rates, pushing them higher, and we could see rates react to both consumer and wholesale inflation data this week if they show inflation continues to increase.

Making extra payments on your mortgage can potentially save you a LOT of money.

Hereโ€™s why:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Every extra dollar you pay toward the ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—น lowers the amount you owe.

That means:
โœ… Less interest paid over time
โœ… More equity in your home
โœ… A faster path to owning your house outright

A few things to remember:

๐Ÿ‘‰ The sooner you make extra payments, the more they help.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Small extra payments add up. You donโ€™t have to wait until you can make a huge one.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Ask your loan servicer to apply extra money to ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—น๐˜†.

Even one extra payment each year can make a big difference over the life of your loan.

Think You Need 180 Days of Service for a VA Loan? Think Again.

I saw a Reddit post asking, โ€œDo I need 180 days of service to qualify for a VA loan?โ€

Itโ€™s hard to get correct answers online. I just closed a loan with a couple who got all sorts of bad advice from Google.ย 

VA loan eligibility isnโ€™t based on a single service requirement. It depends on factors like when and how you served, whether youโ€™re Active Duty, National Guard, Reserves, or even a surviving spouse.

Before trusting internet advice, talk with a loan officer who understands VA loans and can pull your Certificate of Eligibility (COE).

You may qualify sooner than you think.
