Waiting for rates to drop sounds logical, but it’s not always the best strategy.
When rates go down, more buyers enter the market, competition increases, and prices can be pushed higher.

Once you find the right property, waiting for the “perfect” rate could mean missing the opportunity altogether. The goal isn’t timing the market, it’s finding a payment that works and a home you love.

Here is this week's Mortgage Market Update!

The Federal Reserve cut rates at their December meeting, though the decision was not unanimous. That mixed outlook has led to some short-term volatility in the mortgage market.

It’s also important to know that when the Fed cuts rates, mortgage rates don’t always improve right away. In some cases, rates can move higher before getting better. Mortgage rates are driven by the bond market and investor expectations, not just the Fed’s decision. If a cut was already expected or there’s uncertainty around inflation and future policy, the market can react unevenly.

The Fed’s next meeting is scheduled for January 28th, and until then we may continue to see some back-and-forth movement. Reach out to get the process started, so you can be ready when the time is right!

Most people don’t realize how much their lender choice impacts their approval, their rate, and their stress level.

As a broker, I’m not tied to one bank, I shop with multiple lenders to find the best fit for each borrower’s situation. That means more options, more flexibility, and fewer dead ends.

Partnering with a broker means faster answers, clearer communication, and solutions for those who don’t always fit into a bank’s tight box.

Whether you’re buying or refinancing, the goal is simple; get you the best deal and the smoothest experience possible.

If you’re starting your homeownership journey or just want a second opinion, I’m here to help. Let’s make your financing work for you.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and enjoyed some well-deserved time with family and friends!

This week has been a bit of a rollercoaster in the mortgage world. We started to see some positive momentum with rates trending lower, but that improvement was short-lived as rates have begun to move back up again.

A big reason for this volatility is the bond market. Mortgage rates typically follow the direction of bonds, and during holiday weeks the bond market can act a bit sporadic. With fewer traders and lighter volume, even small pieces of economic data or headlines can cause larger-than-usual swings. That’s exactly what we’ve been seeing as the market tries to find its footing post-Thanksgiving.

As we move further into the week and trading normalizes, we’ll get a better sense of whether this upward pressure sticks or settles back down.

Stay safe on the roads, the snow out there is no joke. If you or any clients want to talk strategy in this shifting market, I’m always here to help.

Not a mortgage post today, just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you get the chance to slow down a bit, enjoy some quality time with friends or family, and reflect on the things that truly matter. Grateful for all of you who support me, trust me, or even just follow along on this journey. Wishing you a day filled with good food, good company, and plenty of laughs.

Most buyers focus on the interest rate, but one of the most overlooked parts of the mortgage process is understanding how your overall loan structure works. Things like loan type, term length, mortgage insurance, and closing costs can have just as much impact on your monthly payment as the rate itself. Taking time to understand these pieces upfront can make the entire process smoother and help you choose a loan that truly fits your financial goals.

If you ever want a quick breakdown of your options or how different loan structures compare, I’m happy to walk you through it.

The mortgage market has remained relatively steady, with no major shifts in the past few weeks. Overall conditions are calm, and lenders are keeping pricing fairly consistent as we head into the holiday stretch.

Toward the end of the year, markets typically stay quieter, and any changes tend to follow broader economic headlines rather than sudden movements.

Here is this week's mortgage market update!

Last week, the Fed officially cut rates again, but if you were expecting mortgage rates to drop right along with it, you might’ve been surprised to see the opposite happen.

Mortgage rates actually ticked up slightly after the announcement. That’s because the mortgage market doesn’t directly follow the Fed rate, it’s driven more by investor expectations and the 10-year Treasury yield. In other words, the market had already “priced in” future rate cuts, so when the Fed’s move became official, there wasn’t much new information to spark another drop.

The good news? We’re still in a much better place than we were earlier this year, and the long-term trend continues to point toward easing rates as inflation cools and the economy steadies.

If you’ve been waiting to see how the market reacts before making a move, now’s a great time to review your options. Whether it’s a refinance to lower your payment or exploring a purchase before rates drop further (and competition heats back up), I can help you strategize the best timing.

Want to see what your new rate could look like? I’ll put together a free side-by-side comparison so you can see exactly how much you could save.
