𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 👍
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.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
• 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.
• 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.
• Juneteenth: Markets and many mortgage companies will be closed on Friday.

When buying a home, the purchase price is only part of the picture. Being fully prepared means understanding the additional costs that come with becoming a homeowner.

From closing costs and inspections to insurance, taxes, and future maintenance, these expenses all play an important role in your overall budget. Even moving costs and early repairs should be considered so you’re not caught off guard.

The more you plan ahead, the more confident—and financially ready—you’ll be when it’s time to move into your new home. 🔑✨

Plan smart. Move with confidence.

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?

❌ You might find out the house costs more than you can afford.

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

❌ You may not know what monthly payment actually fits your budget.

❌ 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:
✔️ How much home can you afford
✔️ Have more people take you seriously
✔️ 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.

Choosing the right home loan isn’t one-size-fits-all—it depends on your financial situation, goals, and eligibility.

From conventional loans for borrowers with strong credit, to FHA loans that offer lower down payment requirements, there are options designed to fit different needs. VA loans provide exclusive benefits for qualified service members, while USDA loans can help eligible buyers in rural areas achieve homeownership with favorable terms.

The key is understanding what each option offers so you can choose a path that supports your long-term goals—not just your immediate purchase.

Different loans. Different advantages. One right fit for you. 🔑

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 👎
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.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲 ⚠️
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.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
• 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.
• 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.

Here’s why:

👉 Every extra dollar you pay toward the 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗹 lowers the amount you owe.

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

A few things to remember:

👉 The sooner you make extra payments, the more they help.

👉 Small extra payments add up. You don’t have to wait until you can make a huge one.

👉 Ask your loan servicer to apply extra money to 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆.

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

Imagine this: A homebuyer needs to upsize to care for an aging parent, but their existing mortgage makes it nearly impossible to qualify for a new one.

This is exactly the kind of situation our Buy Before You Sell program is built for. By placing a backup offer on their current home, we can exclude that existing debt from their DTI calculation. They qualify for the new mortgage, buy first, and have up to 180 days to sell the old home - no rushing, no stress, no having to time everything perfectly.

👉If you know someone who feels stuck because they can't sell until they buy (or buy until they sell), let's talk. There's a solution.

🏡 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟭, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 👍
Rates fell for a second straight week, although the improvement was modest as peace talks with Iran continued to drag on without a final resolution. All other factors continued to take a back seat, with mortgage rates reacting almost solely to events in the Middle East.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲 ⚠️
Rates will continue reacting to headlines about a potential peace deal with Iran, and that news was already volatile this morning. Unconfirmed reports that Iran may walk away from negotiations and fully block the Strait of Hormuz pushed mortgage rates higher to start the week. With markets closely tracking developments in the Middle East, rates will likely remain difficult to predict this week.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
• The Middle East: Mortgage rates will continue to react to headlines about peace deal negotiations. When oil prices fall, rates tend to improve. When oil prices rise, rates tend to move higher. Expect some day-to-day volatility, and even changes during the day, as markets respond to new developments.
• Economic data: Although this is a big week for labor market data, it is unlikely the data will have as much impact on mortgage rates as usual.

Buying a home doesn’t start with scrolling listings – it starts with getting clear on your numbers.

Most buyers think they just need a pre-approval… but what actually makes the difference is asking the right questions upfront. Because the truth is, two people with the same income can have completely different buying strategies.

Here are a few conversations worth having early:
✨ “What does a comfortable monthly payment look like for my situation?”
✨ “What loan structure actually puts me in the strongest position?”
✨ “How much cash will I realistically need beyond just the down payment?”
✨ “Are there any programs or strategies that could stretch my buying power?”
✨ “Is there anything I can tweak now to put myself in a better spot before I buy?”

The goal isn’t just to get approved – it’s to walk into your search with a plan that actually works for you. That’s where the confidence comes from. And honestly… that’s what makes the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming.

If buying is even on your radar, I’m always here to help you map it out 🤍
