She slept on the floor and never in 1 million years did she think she’d become a homeowner💜💚

Many aspiring homeowners may feel homeownership is out of reach due to challenges. Allow us the opportunity to help you hurdle the obstacle as we did for Sarah.

I applaud Sarah for not giving up just because a couple lenders turned her down. It surely could not have been easy and I hope her story will be shared with someone who needs to hear it 💜 💚

Know your homeowners insurance! 🏡
Don’t just chase the lowest premium? 💸
Make sure you’re properly covered! ✅ I recorded this over the summer and never used it, but given what’s going on in California it is really critical that folks understand their homeowners insurance.

So many are chasing lower premiums since the cost of homeowners insurance has risen drastically and many are not fully covered.

With the rising cost of inflation, it is critical you are making sure your homeowners insurance is keeping up with building costs too! Please reach out with any questions.

This settlement shouldn’t be a major consideration when it comes to timing.
“An agent who provides value will always be worth more than an agent who does not provide value”

Listing your home in the spring used to be a no-brainer. But a major real estate shakeup is complicating the equation.

We just heard from the Fed Chairman, Jerome Powell this week, and it appears that the Fed has a more accommodative outlook for 2024. They left rates unchanged at this meeting, but it is becoming increasingly likely that there are rate cuts planned for the spring.

Currently, the first real chance for a cut will be at the Fed’s March 20, 2024 meeting.

Mortgage rates have been improving significantly, and the outlook for lower rates is favorable. However, things can change quickly, and much will depend on the direction of the job market and unemployment rate.

As unemployment increases, the Fed should get more aggressive with cuts, which will help mortgage interest rates.

Another big influence is when the Fed will begin to taper QT, or quantitative tightening. This may happen as soon as the summer of 2024.

Reach out to me to find out the latest on mortgage rates, and if it makes sense to purchase a home or refinance your mortgage.
