I don’t think you understand just how much I love Star Wars… you can argue that the new movies are trash and I’ll listen to and entertain your opinion. But don’t knock the original trilogy. We wouldn’t have many of the soecial effects that we have today but for George Lucas and his vision, he also held back and didn’t mass release copies of the movies for decades keeping us starved for any taste we could get… so to watch a brother mistakenly kiss his sister who falls in love with a dirtbag with a walking dog as a homie. What’s cooler than that? May the 4th be with you…

The first step towards homeownership is saying with confidence, to yourself and others, “Let’s do this!” After that, it’s just a matter of doing the next thing one step at a time.

Use this house hunting checklist to guide you and let me know how I can help along the way — that’s why I’m here!

❓Will Rates Return to 2-3%❓

Waiting for mortgage rates to return to 2-3% like we saw in the pandemic? You may be waiting for…a long time. According to experts at CNBC, homebuyers shouldn’t expect a return of record-low rates in the near term. The reason we got to rock bottom rates a few years ago was because the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates, created emergency lending programs, and bought tons of mortgage-backed securities in response to the pandemic. It wasn’t until inflation soared that the Fed reversed course and have since raised rates 11 times in 2022-2023, leading to our increased rates of today.

But what can you expect for mortgage rates in the future? While we don’t have a crystal ball to know exactly, most experts are predicting rates to fall in late 2023 and to fall even further by the end of 2024. If you are a homebuyer, waiting out the market may end up costing you more money in the long run. Send me a DM and let’s go through the pros and cons of waiting for a lower rate.
