💥 Mortgage Myth Monday 💥

“I don’t want to get pre-qualified—it’ll hurt my credit!”

Not true. Pre-qualifications usually use a soft credit pull, meaning your score stays safe while giving you a clearer picture of your buying power.

Still unsure? I’ll walk you through it—no pressure, no surprises.

Let’s get you home-ready! 🏡

Applying for a mortgage before finding your dream home can give you the edge you need. At Academy Bank, pre‑qualifications are issued instantly, helping you show sellers—and agents—that you’re a serious, qualified buyer. Once you’ve got an accepted offer, we’ll finalize details, lock in rates, and move toward closing with clarity and confidence.

Ready to get started? Contact me, Nick Schulze, and let’s take the first step together.

🏡 Kansas City continues to balance affordability and momentum: with a median sale price holding steady at $315K (up +5 % YoY) and homes moving in just 19 days on average, buyers are still finding opportunities – sellers, though, shouldn’t expect to linger on the market.

My take as your mortgage partner:

Buyers – Get pre‑approved and be ready to act—homes are still selling fast.

Sellers – Proper pricing and staging are key. You’ve got demand, but only the well‑positioned listings are capturing attention.

Whether you’re buying or refinancing, this is a strategic moment to align financing with local market timing. Let’s connect!
