I'm likely not telling you anything you don't already know...especially for those who live in Washington State. When it comes to "affordability" there are 2 things that seem to increase every year...Taxes & Insurance. I get calls from customers every year that sound like "HOW COME MY PAYMENT WENT UP BY $200?" and my answer is always the same..."your mortgage is a FIXED RATE so it's not your mortgage payment that went up, that will never change...call your Senator or Representative". Shopping for 'cheaper' insurance is often an exercise in futility and leads to frustration. When putting together pre-approvals for home buyers, I always let them know what to expect when it comes to "next year's payment" so we start with that in mind. Reach out. Let's talk.
