The Fed voted to hold policy rates at the current level at their June meeting, though some of the members expect a policy rate hike in 2026. The Fed doesn't control mortgage rates directly, and economic or geopolitical events are more likely to have an impact on mortgage rates at this time.

Pre-qualification and pre-approval may sound similar, but they're two different things.

A pre-qualification is a general estimate of your buying power based on your credit and self-reported financial information.
A pre-approval, on the other hand, is a more detailed review and means your finances and credit have been conditionally approved by an underwriter, which makes it much stronger than a pre-qualification.
If you're ready to get started with a pre-qualification or pre-approval, contact me today.
