Share with your buyers! Waiting for mortgage rates to “go back to normal”? Let’s look at what normal has actually been. 📊

Here’s the 30-year fixed rate going back 50+ years (Freddie Mac data):
• 1970s: 8.86% average
• 1980s: 12.70% average (it peaked at 16.63% in 1981!)
• 1990s: 8.12%
• 2000–2006: 6.50%
• 1971–2006 overall: 9.26%

Those 3% rates from 2010–2022 were the exception, not the rule. They were driven by quantitative easing and government support, and they hit a low of 2.96%.

Today’s rates are actually below the long-term average. If you’ve been waiting on the sidelines, watch the video for the full picture, then let’s talk about what makes sense for your situation. 💬

Eight months ago, I talked to someone out of putting in an offer on a home. Four other lenders had already given her preapproval, but her agent said before she put in the offer she had to talk to me first. After looking at her debt profile, I talked her out of it. The outcome? Eight months later, she is completely consumer debt-free, and because of the freed up cash flow, she’s in a price point that she never dreamed she could be in comfortably. That’s the difference between lending money and being an advisor. If your lender isn’t giving out this kind of advice, call me.

Today brings up a lot of memories for everyone. Every September 11, I think about where I was when I heard. I think of how I felt knowing that one of my college friends was in that building when it got hit. But what I remember the most is the deep connection and empathy I felt with every humanbeing around me and watching the news and seeing all of the helpers running in. As a Buddhist, I think a lot about oneness and connection. Though this day brings up a lot of sad memories for me, it also brings up a deep feeling of connection and love. Love for people I know, love for strangers that I don’t. As you reflect on today, reflect with love, hold the people important to you close, and smile at a stranger to create connection, even if it is brief.

The news LOVES fear. It sells. You know what else sells? Real Estate....not matter what they are telling you.

Are homes hopping off the market in hours? No. Are they selling in the timeline that shows a balanced market? Yes.

Housing is still one of the most stable investments you can make. Call me if you are ready to make your investing in real estate dream a reality for YOU!

I need your opinions on resale value! We are about to remodel our primary suite bathroom at the lake. Goodbye pink tile!!!!!
So the question is do we take over some of the closet so we can get a double sink to fit in the bathroom? It would make our closet about 6 x 6. Or, do we keep both footprints the same so we could keep a deep closet, but that means we have a single sink in a tiny bathroom. What should we do?

One of the best stories in housing today...
Housing inventory has now increased for four consecutive years.
That means:
• More homes for buyers
• More opportunities for Realtors
• More purchase transactions
• More conversations
Many consumers still believe there aren’t any homes available.
That simply isn’t true anymore.
Spread the word.
