โฝ $4.39 a gallon. Again. ๐ค
And before anyone says "it's just gas," let's talk about what's actually happening. ๐ The war is moving oil, oil moves diesel, and diesel moves EVERYTHING. ๐ Every truck, every delivery, every piece of heavy machinery on every job site. When diesel goes up, the price of your groceries, your materials, and your house goes up with it. ๐
Now here's where it hits my world. ๐ I had a client priced out at a certain rate right before all this kicked off. Same borrower, same file, just a different day on the calendar. The difference in what that loan cost? Close to $30,000. ๐ธ
Thirty. Thousand. Dollars. I have never seen a swing like that in my career. ๐ณ
I'm not going to stand here and tell you it's about to get better, because I don't think it is. I think it gets a little worse before it gets better. So if you're sitting on a pre-approval or thinking about pulling the trigger, understand that "I'll wait a few weeks" is not a free decision anymore. โณ
Hang on tight. ๐ค
