Everyone's stuck on the rate. 6.5%. 7%. Whatever the headline is this week.
The rate was never the whole story. How your offer is structured matters just as much, sometimes more.
Same $300k purchase, same buyer, three totally different outcomes depending on how we build the deal. With the right seller concessions in place right now, we bought a 7% market down to a 6.250% payment, and the buyer still only brought their down payment to the table.
The market doesn't determine what you can afford, but the deal does. That's why having a Loan Officer like me matters.
