Inflation is proving to be a little more stubborn than many economists hoped.
The latest reports show prices are still rising faster than the Federal Reserve would like, which means interest rates may stay higher for longer than expected.
At the same time, many families are feeling the pinch. Higher costs for groceries, gas, utilities, and everyday expenses are making it harder to save, and more people are becoming cautious about major purchases.
The good news? Mortgage rates actually improved slightly this past week despite the inflation news.
What does that mean if you're thinking about buying a home, refinancing, or using your home's equity? It means timing the market is still incredibly difficult, but opportunities continue to exist for buyers who are prepared.
If you've been wondering whether now is the right time to make a move, I'd be happy to walk through your specific situation and help you understand your options.
