Your friend just bought a house, and now you're comparing their mortgage to yours. ๐Ÿก

But here's the thing: Just because you're both buying a home doesn't mean you're getting the same loan.

Your loan terms, monthly payment, closing costs, down payment, loan type, and credit score can all make your mortgage look different from someone else's.

That's why comparing numbers without understanding what's behind them can be misleading.

After moving higher to start the week, mortgage rates got a little better as the week went on, ending just slightly lower than the week before. It wasn't a big improvement, but at least it broke the streak of rates moving higher over the last few weeks.

There are some early signs that mortgage rates may be done climbing, at least for now. We could still see some ups and downs this week though, especially with inflation data coming out in the middle of the week.

โ€ข Inflation data: Consumer inflation data comes out Wednesday, followed by wholesale inflation data on Thursday. If inflation is lower than expected, rates could improve a little more, but higher inflation could push them back up.
โ€ข Oil: Oil prices will continue to influence mortgage rates this week, although the connection between the two hasn't been quite as strong recently.
โ€ข The Fed: The Fed raised its policy rate in September, but markets have recently backed off expectations for another increase in October. This week's inflation reports and comments from Fed officials could change those expectations.

Owning your home is easier than you think.

Your VA loan lets you buy with no down payment. Work with a VREB agent to get a reward check at closing, which can significantly cut your cash to close.

When rates drop, competition picks up, and it gets harder to win the home you want. Right now, inventory is high, and sellers are negotiating. Donโ€™t wait on rates. Buy the home you love today, negotiate a strong deal, start building equity, and refinance when rates come down.

As a real estate broker, having a lender you can trust to take exceptional care of your clients is everything, and Will exceeded every expectation! He trusted me to help a wonderful family he was working with, and together we were able to negotiate an incredible deal for them, including substantial seller concessions and repairs.

It can feel confusing, but rent and mortgages are approved differently.

When you apply for a home loan, mortgage professionals look at more than just what you pay each month. They also look at things like your income, credit, car payments, credit cards, and other debt.

And hereโ€™s the big thing: ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—บ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜€.

So if one tells you no, that doesnโ€™t always mean youโ€™re out of options.

Get a second opinion. You can ask me about different loan programs. You might have more options than you think.

Mortgage rates continued to climb last week despite slightly lower oil prices, weaker-than-expected labor data, and markets backing off expectations for a Fed rate hike this month. There was a lot of day-to-day volatility, but pressure on global bond markets ultimately helped push rates higher.

๐—ง๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ช๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ธ'๐˜€ ๐— ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐—ฅ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐—™๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜: ๐—ฅ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฑ ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐Ÿ‘Ž
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like rates will be moving lower anytime soon, and they could continue to creep higher. Treasury yields are still near their highest levels in decades and continue to rise, which will keep putting pressure on mortgage rates.

โ€ข Oil: Oil prices will continue to influence mortgage rates this week, although the connection between the two hasn't been quite as strong recently.
โ€ข Economic data: There are only a few reports this week that could influence mortgage rates, and none that require a lot of attention from us.
โ€ข Bond yields: Yields continue to rise globally, and as the 10-year Treasury yield moves higher, mortgage bonds are likely to sell off as well, putting additional pressure on mortgage rates.

Ever wondered how a veteran can buy a 400K home and walk into closing with only $750? This is a good example of it.

The home was bought with zero down, and a seller credit helped cover part of the closing costs; then the reward check from VREB was applied at closing, helping bring the number down even further. Every deal is different, but this shows what can happen when you work with an agent who knows the VA loan process and a program that gives something back to you at the closing table.
