Buyers, since Thursday rates have climb up to .5%. If you haven't spoken to your lender yet. Get ahold of them asap.
Sellers, that offering you're reviewing, may no longer qualify.
I was able to do something I've never been able to do at any company before, and that not many companies do. I locked a rate over the weekend. It was huge. I saved my clients $3500 and 100/month.
Historically, its never a bad time to secure homeownership. The loan you secure the home with, however, will likely need to be modified in the future. Buy now and refi later.
The US govt has 23 trillion in debt. Rates are technically still historically low, but our debt is also historically high. So, their dent payments are getting far worse than ours, as tough as that is to imagine. Rising rates aren't compatible with this system. They can weather storms longer than we expect most times. They always have a little more punching power than we think, but the inevitable always comes to be. And I hope for mercy on those who don't know, but before they fall on the sword, they will turn it on us everytime. So long as we have a growth economy, the economy has to feed on anything and everything, even itself. It's rates or inflation. Got to be one.
It's always a good time to secure a home with the right plan and the right people helping you make your plan. Utilizing 60 day locks, weekend locks, and other strategies, but mostly following the mantra "lock it if you got it" I have navigated these rising rates for my clients with great precision. Each loan I've done the last 6 months has had worse rates than the one before, but everything I've closed has been locked at a better rate than market rates at close. Playing it safe in tough times is the smart choice.
