Happy National Homeownership Month!

05/29/2026

Homeownership is more than a milestone. It is a chance to build something lasting for yourself and your family.
A home of your own can mean stability, pride, and a future you get to shape on your terms. With the right plan and the right support, owning a home is well within your reach.
Send me a message to talk through your options and next steps.

Bi-weekly payments could cut years off your mortgage without making a huge dent in your wallet.
When you make half of your monthly mortgage payment every two weeks, you end up making the equivalent of one extra monthly payment each year. That extra payment goes toward your principal, which helps you shorten your loan term.

Want to see how much you could save? Send me a message and I’ll send you my bi-weekly mortgage calculator.

Mortgage rates improved this week as markets reacted to signs of a possible diplomatic off-ramp in the U.S./Iran conflict. Earlier concerns pushed the 10-Year Treasury yield as high as 4.45%, but rates moved lower as reports suggested Iran was reviewing a recent proposal and tensions may be easing. The 10-Year Treasury is now closer to 4.35%.

No matter the market, you can count on me to answer any mortgage-related questions.

Rates as of 05/08/2026 and are always subject to change. For licensing information, go to: www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org

Everyone’s talking about interest rates, but the real focus should be on what you can control — finding a monthly mortgage payment that fits your budget.

There are loan programs, rate buydowns, and strategies designed to make homeownership more affordable, no matter what’s happening in the market. Instead of waiting for the “perfect” rate, let’s find the right plan for you.

Want to see what your payment could look like? Reach out today, and let’s break it down together.

It’s still early spring, but now is the perfect time to start getting your home ready for summer. Here are some renovation projects you can tackle so that you can enjoy some fun in the sun:

• Add or update a deck or patio that will be perfect for bonfires and s’mores
• Remodel the bathroom so you have a spa-like retreat after a day of summer lawn care
• Install a new HVAC system so that your AC can keep up with the hotter weather
• Upgrade to energy-efficient windows to help keep your home cooler and your utility bill lower
• Repair or replace your roof before summer storms roll in.

If you’re thinking about making home upgrades this spring, a renovation loan can help cover the costs and make the process easier. Get in touch today to explore your financing options and get started on your home improvements before summer arrives.

Wondering why you should buy if a mortgage payment costs the same as your rent? Here's what you could be missing out on.

When home prices rise, so does home value. That's an asset owners can tap into later. When your rent increases, it just means a bigger auto-pay amount is leaving your account on the first of the month.

Now, imagine what a home purchased today could be worth a year from now if home values keep climbing. Not to mention no more "landlord specials".

Buying a home is easier when you know what you're doing. Reach out and we can map out your gameplan together.
