🏡📉 Home Prices FALL While Rents RISE — For the First Time in Over 3 Years!

The housing market may finally be shifting in favor of homebuyers!

According to CNBC:

🏠 Home prices declined 0.1% year-over-year, the first drop in more than three years.

📈 Rents increased 0.1% year-over-year, also a first in more than three years.

🤝 Buyers may have more negotiating power as homes take longer to sell and sellers become more flexible.

💡 What does this mean for you?

While mortgage rates remain elevated, buyers may have opportunities to negotiate on price, request seller credits toward closing costs, or use those credits to help lower their interest rate.

Waiting for rates to drop isn't always the only strategy. Sometimes the opportunity is in the negotiation!

Thinking about buying? Let's run the numbers and see what makes sense for you.

🏡 There's nothing better than helping someone go from looking at homes to getting the keys to their very first one!
I met these clients at an open house, and they ended up buying that very same home!
I truly appreciate the kind words and the trust they placed in me throughout the process. Being available, answering questions, and making the mortgage process as smooth as possible is always my goal.
Thinking about buying your first home? Let's connect! I'd be happy to help you get started.

HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) and cash-out refi get mixed up all the time, and it's easy to see why.

Both are ways to make use of the equity you've built, they just work very differently. Knowing how they compare puts you in a better spot to decide what fits when your goals shift. No need to have it all figured out today.

Save this for when the time feels right, and reach out whenever you'd like to talk it through.

Mortgage Rates Drop for the Second Straight Week!

Good news for homebuyers! According to CNBC, mortgage rates are trending lower, and more buyers are turning to Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARMs) to take advantage of lower initial rates.

💡 Why are more buyers considering ARMs?

✅ Lower initial interest rates compared to traditional 30-year fixed mortgages.

✅ Lower monthly payments can improve purchasing power.

✅ A great option to consider for buyers looking to refinance down the road if rates improve.

A 30-year fixed mortgage isn't your only option! An ARM could offer significant savings depending on your financial goals.

Thinking about buying? Let's compare your options and see what works best for you!

Before you let the rate make the decision for you… look at what actually changed.
On a $400k house with 5% down, going from last year’s 6.38% to today’s 7.30% changes the principal and interest by about $233/month.
That’s roughly $7.66 a day.
Don’t put your life on hold over a percentage.

Rock, paper, scissors, first time buyer edition.
Every losing hand in this post is something I see all the time, and none of it comes from being careless. It’s just what happens when nobody walks you through the order of things before you start.
A few things worth knowing behind the winning hands:
A low rate on a quote is only part of the picture. Fees, the loan type and how long you plan to keep the home all change what the loan really costs you.
Pre-qualifying is a quick estimate. A full pre-approval means your income, assets and credit have actually been reviewed, so the number you shop with is one you can stand behind.
The paperwork gets a lot lighter when you know the whole list up front and send it together. A complete file usually moves faster, and you spend less time answering follow up emails.
Which round would you have lost? Be honest, I won’t judge.

There is the version of this job where I answer your question carefully, and there is the version where I tell you what I would tell a friend.
The careful version is technically correct. The friend version is the one that keeps you comfortable after you move in.
The friend version sounds like this: just because the letter says you can borrow it does not mean your life can afford it.
That “free” lender credit has a price, it is just paid monthly.
None of that is rude. It is just the part people do not always hear, because “you’re approved” is the easier thing to say.
Send me your price range and I will give you the friend version of your numbers.

Documents are in. The appraisal is scheduled. Everything is on track. Then someone says, 'Oh, I forgot to tell you something,' and my whole face does this. It could be nothing, a new car, a job change, a surprise deposit, or a cousin's loan you co-signed two weeks ago. Here's the secret: I'm not scared of the thing; I'm scared of hearing about it the day before closing. Tell me early, and almost everything has a fix.
