One of the biggest things that impacts how much house you can buy isn't your income—it's your monthly debt.

And one of the biggest factors I see? Car payments. 🚗

For example, if your car payment increases by $200 per month, it could reduce your home-buying power by roughly $30,000+.

That could be the difference between:

🏡 The house with the extra bedroom
🚙 The 3-car garage
🎮 The bonus room or play area you've been hoping for

That's why it's so important to look at the big picture before making major purchases when you're planning to buy a home.

If you're thinking about buying and want to know what your budget looks like, I can help you run the numbers and explore different scenarios—without pulling your credit.

Sometimes a few minutes of planning can make a big difference in your home search.

In Q1… Redfin reported that Sellers paid to lower the rate for the buyer AND their closing costs on 50% of the deals closed, 50%!!!

When it is a Buyers market… you have a lot more negotiating power to get a lower price, lower payment, and lower costs!

If you need a great local realtor… we can connect you to the very best!

📊 There’s been a lot of focus on mortgage rates and affordability lately—but here’s something that’s not getting enough attention:

Compared to this time last year, affordability has actually improved for many buyers.

Even with recent rate movement, the average monthly payment is about $300 lower than it was a year ago.

💡 That’s a great reminder that the market isn’t one-dimensional—and opportunities still exist for buyers who take a strategic approach.

If you’re thinking about making a move, it’s not just about the headlines… it’s about understanding the full picture.

📲 Let’s talk through what today’s market looks like for you.

03/24/2026

Nobody talks about this part.

When you apply for a mortgage, lenders don’t just verify your income…
they study your habits.

Your bank statements tell a story.

Not about whether you’re “good with money.”
But about whether your finances are stable and predictable.

Here’s what quietly raises red flags:

💳 Accounts constantly close to zero
Even strong earners can look risky if balances swing too low too often.

🚫 Late payments or returned transactions
Small fees signal cash flow stress.

🔁 Large unexplained deposits
Venmo. Zelle. Cash.
If it’s part of your down payment, be ready to document it.

💼 Payroll inconsistencies
Deposits need to line up with your pay stubs and employer records.

🎰 Gambling or high-risk transactions
Especially right before applying.

Most lenders review your most recent 2 months of statements.
That window matters more than people realize.

You don’t need perfection.
You need consistency.
And you need your financial story to make sense.

We’ve had several buyers officially fund recently and even more clients getting into process, and it’s exciting to see the momentum picking up!

Mortgage rates have experienced a bit more volatility lately, influenced in part by fluctuations in oil prices and broader market shifts. Even with that movement, we’re continuing to find solid opportunities for buyers who are prepared and positioned correctly. We are also seeing opportunities for homeowner's who bought within the last 3 years to refinance.

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the “right time,” this may be the moment to have a conversation. Whether you're buying your first home or planning your next move, preparation is everything.

If you’d like to run numbers or explore your options, I’m happy to help. Let’s make this your season to move!

So many exciting homes currently in process and recently funded!

We’re starting to see more first-time buyers step into the market as rates move into the 5’s and the market is starting to heat up!

If buying your first home has been on your mind, this may be a great time to start the conversation before increased demand brings more competition.

There are also low down payment options available that many buyers are surprised to learn they qualify for.

Even if you’re just in the planning phase, understanding your options early can make a big difference.

If you have questions or want to see what homeownership could look like for you, feel free to message me anytime.

These are the lowest rates we have seen since 2022! And the first time MNDs daily rate index has started with a 5 in the same amount of time!

Homeowners who bought in the last few years-reach out for a refinance evaluation.

Realtors- lower rates should help spur buyer demand going into this spring season!
