There are more homes for sale than people looking to buy. That gives you MORE negotiating power. Sellers are reducing their prices to attract buyers.

When rates drop, everyone wants to start shopping for a house at the same time, making it more difficult to get your offer accepted and less likely to get seller-paid perks.

Here is what I recommend: Look into buying now. Take your time finding the house you love with a payment that fits your lifestyle.

If rates drop, then we can run the numbers and see if a refinance would be beneficial for you.

Haha. Sometimes we get carried away with our acronyms, but I am here to make it all make sense.

Did you know the same $400,000 loan could have a different monthly payment depending on where you live?

Property taxes, homeowners insurance, interest rates, and other factors can all impact your total monthly payment.

After we get you pre-approved and you start shopping, you can send me property addresses and I can give you the estimated monthly payments for that area so we can make adjustments to get you the right payment.

It can be tempting to max out the amount you are pre-approved for, but you don't want to sign up for more than you can afford long term.

For example, you might be pre-approved for a $400,000 house, but be more comfortable with the payment of a $350,000 house.

Let's work together to get you the payment that fits your lifestyle.

Would you want to live in an HOA? There’s no right or wrong answer.

Some homeowners love the perks, like a well-kept neighborhood, community pool, parks, and shared amenities. Others would rather skip the extra fees and added rules.

I've been asked, "why don't you post rates online?" The reason is because there are so many factors that determines someone's rate that we don't want to mislead anyone by the number they see.

Most companies post rates for 800+ credit scores to draw you in and then try to keep you when they explain why your rate is higher than you expect it to be.

PLUS, the rate isn't the only thing that you should be comparing when choosing your loan officer. Some companies have higher fees that they hope you don't notice.

Give me a call and I can explain what you should look for.

We repeat it out of importance, not out of laziness. Get pre-approved!
