Before you fall in love with houses on Zillow, you need to know what actually feels comfortable month to month.

Try this first 👇

• Add your incomes together
• Divide by 12
• Multiply by .36
• Subtract your monthly debts
That number?

That’s a safe mortgage payment not the max a lender might approve you for.

Yes, lenders may approve more.

But more approval doesn’t always mean more comfort.

My goal is simple:
Help you buy a home without becoming house poor so your life still feels good after you get the keys. 🏡

If you want help running your numbers the right way and potentially save more, send me a message, and I’ll walk you through it.

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 👎
Mortgage rates moved quite a bit higher last week as rising oil prices added to inflation concerns, and both wholesale and consumer inflation showed prices picking up again.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 👎
Mortgage rates could push to new highs for the year this week, depending on how markets react to this week's Fed meeting and what happens in the Middle East and with oil prices. It is extremely unlikely that rates have any chance of moving lower this week.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
• The Fed: Markets expect the Fed to hike its policy rate this week to fight inflation, and mortgage rates have already priced in that move. If the Fed hikes as expected, it could actually help mortgage rates. However, if the Fed holds off and doesn't hike, markets could react poorly over concerns that inflation will remain unchecked, pushing mortgage rates higher. That's right, a Fed rate hike is actually favorable for mortgage rates this week.
• Middle East: Continued violence could push oil prices even higher, which would put additional upward pressure on mortgage rates.

POV: I’m reviewing your bank statement and see a random $50,000 deposit… 😅

My first question: “Okayyy… where did that come from?”

Here’s why 👇

When you’re buying a home, large deposits can raise questions during underwriting. Mortgage professionals need to know where the money came from and have documentation to back it up.

Maybe it was:
💰 A gift from family
🚗 Money from selling something
🏦 A transfer from another account
💼 A bonus or other income

None of those automatically mean there’s a problem — I need to be able to explain and document it.

So before you move a big chunk of money around while buying a home, talk to a mortgage pro or talk to me first.

A 2-minute conversation now can save you a whole lot of headache later. 🙌

🏡 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟳, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 👎
Mortgage rates continued to creep higher last week, helped along by rising oil prices and markets pricing in a possible Fed rate hike this month after Fed Chair Warsh's comments in Jackson Hole and stronger-than-expected jobs data.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗻 👎
This week features a focus on inflation, and if it comes in higher than expected it will pressure rates higher. Rates will also be influenced by oil prices, which continue to rise. It looks likely that mortgage rates will continue to creep higher unless something unforeseen happens this week.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
• The Fed: Mortgage rates currently reflect about a 60% chance of a Fed rate hike this month, and if inflation comes in hot, that could increase. Mortgage rates rise ahead of actual Fed rate hikes, so if markets anticipate a hike after this week's data, it will push mortgage rates higher to end the week.
• Inflation data: Wholesale inflation data comes out on Thursday, with consumer inflation data on Friday. If inflation comes in hotter than expected, it could push mortgage rates up to end the week.
• Oil: If oil prices continue to rise this week, it will pressure mortgage rates higher.

New 5.0-star Review: "Just had my first closing with Sean and his team. He was friendly, approachable and his bedside manner explaining all the details to this client has been exemplary. He showed up to the close and when problems occurred at the closing table he was about to circumvent them and got results immediately. I trust him and so do my clients."
