Your friend just bought a house, and now you're comparing their mortgage to yours. 🏡

But here's the thing: Just because you're both buying a home doesn't mean you're getting the same loan.

Your loan terms, monthly payment, closing costs, down payment, loan type, and credit score can all make your mortgage look different from someone else's.

That's why comparing numbers without understanding what's behind them can be misleading.

💬 Message me "𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗘" and let's look at what actually makes sense for YOU.

There’s more to your mortgage payment than you might think. 🏡 Watch for a quick breakdown of what may be included in that monthly number.

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 👍
After moving higher to start the week, mortgage rates got a little better as the week went on, ending just slightly lower than the week before. It wasn't a big improvement, but at least it broke the streak of rates moving higher over the last few weeks.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲 ⚠️
There are some early signs that mortgage rates may be done climbing, at least for now. We could still see some ups and downs this week though, especially with inflation data coming out in the middle of the week.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
• Inflation data: Consumer inflation data comes out Wednesday, followed by wholesale inflation data on Thursday. If inflation is lower than expected, rates could improve a little more, but higher inflation could push them back up.
• Oil: Oil prices will continue to influence mortgage rates this week, although the connection between the two hasn't been quite as strong recently.
• The Fed: The Fed raised its policy rate in September, but markets have recently backed off expectations for another increase in October. This week's inflation reports and comments from Fed officials could change those expectations.

The equity you’ve built in your home could help you take the next step. 🏡

Wondering how much equity you may be able to put to work? Let’s talk about your options.

It can feel confusing, but rent and mortgages are approved differently.

When you apply for a home loan, mortgage professionals look at more than just what you pay each month. They also look at things like your income, credit, car payments, credit cards, and other debt.

And here’s the big thing: 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼 𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀.

So if one tells you no, that doesn’t always mean you’re out of options.

Get a second opinion. You can ask me about different loan programs. You might have more options than you think.

Thinking about buying a home and needing a mortgage? Reach out to me, and I can see what may work for your situation.

Your lender can make a BIG difference in your homebuying experience.

When things move quickly, having a local lender who knows the market, communicates clearly, and is ready when you need them matters.

Because your mortgage is about more than just a rate—it’s about having the right support from application to closing. 🔑

Ready to make a move? Let’s talk.

🏡 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟱, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 👎
Mortgage rates continued to climb last week despite slightly lower oil prices, weaker-than-expected labor data, and markets backing off expectations for a Fed rate hike this month. There was a lot of day-to-day volatility, but pressure on global bond markets ultimately helped push rates higher.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 👎
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like rates will be moving lower anytime soon, and they could continue to creep higher. Treasury yields are still near their highest levels in decades and continue to rise, which will keep putting pressure on mortgage rates.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
• Oil: Oil prices will continue to influence mortgage rates this week, although the connection between the two hasn't been quite as strong recently.
• Economic data: There are only a few reports this week that could influence mortgage rates, and none that require a lot of attention from us.
• Bond yields: Yields continue to rise globally, and as the 10-year Treasury yield moves higher, mortgage bonds are likely to sell off as well, putting additional pressure on mortgage rates.
