🏡 What moved mortgage rates in May?

A lot of people think mortgage rates are determined by one thing, but the truth is they're influenced by a combination of economic policy, global events, and investor behavior.

This month, three themes stood out:

📌 A new Federal Reserve Chair
🌎 Continued geopolitical uncertainty
📈 Ongoing mortgage rate volatility

What does this mean if you're thinking about buying a home?
It means preparation matters more than prediction.

The buyers who are most successful aren't waiting for the "perfect" rate. They're improving credit, building savings, exploring financing options, and getting pre-approved so they're ready when the right opportunity comes along.

Whether you're buying your first home, moving up, purchasing a second home, or relocating from New York to Florida, having a plan can make all the difference.

Swipe through for this month's market update and if you'd like to talk through your personal situation, I'm always happy to help.

No pressure. Just real answers. 😊

I’m coming to you from the beautiful Fairport Lift Bridge with a little Upstate NY mortgage forecast. Just like the bridge, the market can go up, come down, and sometimes make everyone stop and wait.

But waiting without a plan can cost you time, opportunities, and peace of mind. The better move is to understand your numbers, know your options, and be ready when the right home comes along.

I’m 𝗞𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻 𝗚𝗮𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗼, 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿, and I help buyers find mortgage options that match their life, budget, and goals.

If you’re 62 or older and need to get your hands on some cash fast for home repairs or other endeavors, an HECM reverse mortgage may be there to save the day! This federally ensured program allows you to borrow money from equity based on your home’s appraised value. 🏠 💵

Why would you choose such a loan arrangement? First of all, it enables you to tap into the value you’ve invested in your home. Also, a reverse mortgage may offer lower interest rates than many other forms of borrowing.
