Chad Drachenberg at Guaranteed Rate Vice President of Mortgage Lending NMLS ID 223413 Chad Drachenberg grew up in Cedar Falls, Iowa and graduated from Minnesota State University in Mankato.

He then moved to Colorado, eventually married his love and now dotes on his two young daughters. Outside the office, depending on the season, he rides and falls off snowboards or motorcycles. During Chad’s years in the mortgage industry, he has learned there is no such thing as “typical” when it comes to his customers. Every client is unique and has different financial needs and questions. Chad recommends to new or first time homebuyers to try to get at least a 5% down payment on a home. He likes to make sure his clients understand how important their credit history is and to keep in touch with questions in the future. Chad believes gathering the required documentation is the most challenging part of the home loan process for his clients. Chad tries to help by checking in with his clients and helping them move the paperwork along back to his team. He has found borrowers have the best experience when they work hard on providing everything in the beginning and in a timely manner. Chad’s Team:

Home prices were up in more than three-quarters of the nation’s metro markets in the third quarter of 2026, with the average home price sitting at $432,900. The Northeast region (4%) led the nation in price appreciation, followed by the Midwest (3.6%). 21% of markets saw home prices decline in Q3, showing there's still plenty of opportunities out there for buyers.

With the economy remaining strong and inflation lingering, the Fed opted to hold interest rates during their latest meeting. Mortgage rates are expected to stay about where they are in response. When rates hold steady, it takes some pressure off your home financing decisions. Instead of trying to anticipate what could happen next, focus on your timing, budget and other factors within your control.

If you’re in the market for a new home, let’s plan your next move.

HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) and cash-out refi get mixed up all the time, and it's easy to see why.

Both are ways to make use of the equity you've built, they just work very differently. Knowing how they compare puts you in a better spot to decide what fits when your goals shift. No need to have it all figured out today.

Save this for when the time feels right, and reach out whenever you'd like to talk it through.

The new car payment followed you home … and now it won't leave. New debt can creep into your homebuying process, impacting your mortgage approval by changing your debt-to-income ratio.

Before financing a large purchase, let’s talk about how it may affect your plan. After all, some things are better left lurking in the shadows.

Don’t blame ghosts for every creak, thud and clunk. There’s (probably) a perfectly normal explanation for the sounds your home makes. The real trick is keeping up with seasonal maintenance to prevent small issues from spiraling into bigger ones.

Review our home maintenance guide to get your home ready for spooky season.

September home sales were mixed, with sales increasing in the South and West, holding steady in the Midwest and declining in the Northeast compared to last month. Year-over-year sales are down in all four regions, but many buyers are still entering contracts thanks to a 1.9% increase in inventory.
