Crazy how many people still think they need 20% down to buy a house.

I talk to people all the time who are waiting to save a huge amount of money before they even start the home-buying process.

Depending on your situation, there may be options available that require much less money down than most people realize.

Some programs may allow little down, and in certain situations, there may even be options with no down payment at all.

That’s why I always tell people:

The key is that it depends on your loan type, finances, goals, and the programs available to you. Don’t decide you’re not ready before talking to a lender.

A quick conversation can help you understand your options and what buying a home could actually look like for you. Before you spend years trying to reach a savings goal that may not even apply to you, find out where you really stand.

You might be a lot closer than you think. Send me a message or reach out if you have any questions.

New 5.0-star Review: "I had a wonderful experience with Ross Mortgage! The entire team was fast, friendly, and professional from start to finish. They took the time to answer all of my questions and made sure I understood every step of the mortgage process. Communication was excellent, and they were always available when I needed assistance. Their dedication, patience, and attention to detail made what could have been a stressful experience feel easy and smooth. I highly recommend Ross Mortgage to anyone looking for a lender that truly cares about their clients and provides exceptional service. Thank you for making my home financing journey such a positive experience! 🏡✨"

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.

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.
Reach out to me or send me a message if you want to start looking around or have any questions.

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.
