A home may look perfect on the surface, but a professional home inspection can reveal issues you can't see during a showing.

From roofing and plumbing to electrical systems, foundation concerns, and HVAC problems, an inspection helps you understand the home's true condition before you close.

While a home inspection isn't required for every loan, it's one of the smartest steps you can take to protect your investment and avoid costly surprises down the road.

Buying your first home? I'm here to help guide you through every step of the mortgage process, from pre-approval to closing.

New 5.0-star Review: "What a great experience I had with John. He and his team were professional with exceptional communications throughout our transaction. As a listing agent, you are sometimes left in the dark, but John always let me know where we stood and gave regular updates. It was a pleasure working with him and his team. I look forward to working with him again!"

Rates have been pretty stable this month but ended last week near their highest levels. Most borrowers wouldn't see a change in rate, but may see a difference in the credit or points needed to get that rate.

Rates could move higher this week as oil prices rise on increased tensions in the Middle East and markets worry the Fed may hike rates at its next meeting. Any increase may be small, but it's tough to see rates moving much lower from here.

โ€ข The Fed: Fed Chair Warsh's Jackson Hole speech last week raised concerns that the Fed may hike rates as soon as the next Fed meeting in September to fight stubborn inflation. There is some concern the Fed may hike rates twice before the end of the year, despite upcoming midterm elections.
โ€ข Labor data: Several jobs reports come out this week, with Friday's BLS jobs report being the most important. The report will show how many jobs were created in August as well as the unemployment rate. Weak job numbers could help mortgage rates, while stronger numbers could increase the chances of a Fed rate hike in September.

One of the biggest mistakes I see homeowners make? Automatically thinking they need to refinance.

If you locked in a great interest rate a few years ago, refinancing today could actually cost you more in the long run.

Before you make a decision, take a minute to learn about another option that many homeowners don't even realize they have: a HELOC.

Every situation is different, but knowing all your options can save you thousands.

๐Ÿ‘‡ Comment "HELOC" below, and I'll send you the link to the full video!

Starting a new job while buying a home? Hereโ€™s what I want you to know. ๐Ÿ‘‡

Please talk to me before you put in your notice. ๐Ÿ˜…

Changing jobs doesnโ€™t automatically mean you canโ€™t buy a home, but the timing matters.

If youโ€™re starting a new job, Iโ€™m going to need to know:

๐Ÿ‘‰ When is your last day at your current job?
๐Ÿ‘‰ When does the new job officially start?
๐Ÿ‘‰ What will your new pay be?
๐Ÿ‘‰ Are there any conditions you still have to complete?
๐Ÿ‘‰ When are we planning to close?

Depending on your loan type, we may also need an offer letter and additional documentation before we can use that new income to qualify.

This is one of those situations where Iโ€™d much rather you call me before making the change than tell me after everything is already in motion. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Changing jobs? Moving money around? Making a big purchase?

When youโ€™re buying a home, keep your loan officer in the loop. A quick conversation can save us both a headache later. ๐Ÿ™Œ

The summer market brought new opportunities and shifting trends across the housing landscape.

From changing inventory levels to evolving buyer demand, staying informed is key when making your next move.

As we head into fall, buyers may see more options while sellers can benefit from understanding current market conditions and pricing strategies.

Whether youโ€™re planning to buy, sell, or simply stay informed, having the right guidance can make all the difference.

Rates aren't likely to make any big jumps this week, but could creep a little higher depending on oil prices and the outlook for long term bond yields. If yields rise, mortgage rates will creep higher with them. The most likely way we could see rates surprise us and move lower would be a breakthrough in the Middle East that helps drive oil prices down.

โ€ข The Middle East: There's no end in sight for the impasse with Iran, which means we're unlikely to see an increase in shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz that would help bring oil prices down. Elevated oil prices will continue to put upward pressure on mortgage rates.
โ€ข The Treasury: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is looking for ways to bring down longer-term bond yields, which could help keep mortgage rates from moving much higher or even help them improve slightly. However, it would take something significant to push bond yields much lower and bring mortgage rates down.
