❓ Frequently Asked Question ❓

When are mortgage rates going to fall?

The truth is, no one can predict exactly when mortgage rates will drop.

Rates can change quickly based on inflation, the economy, the bond market, and other factors.

🏡 My tip: Don’t focus only on waiting for the “perfect” rate. If you find the right home at a price and monthly payment that works for you, it may be worth exploring your options now.

If rates improve later, refinancing may be an option.

⚠️ Think big-name online home loans are always a good deal? Think again.

A Georgetown University report found overcharges of up to $4,579 on 30-year loans from Zillow Home Loans.

Even more concerning, the report shows that low-income and Black homebuyers were impacted the most.

My intake:
This highlights why it’s so important for buyers to shop around and work with a trusted loan professional. Large platforms may be convenient, but convenience doesn’t always mean the best pricing or guidance—especially for underserved communities.

👉 Transparency, advocacy, and education truly matter in the home loan process.

A new report by Georgetown University Professor Steven C. Salop adds fuel to two lawsuits charging Zillow with deceptive practices by requiring or incentivizing “affiliated” real estate agents to steer their clients to the popular listing site’s mortgage lending affiliate, Zillow Home Loans.

Want a better mortgage rate? Start with your credit score because even a small boost can mean big savings.

The best ways I know how to improve your score are:

Keep your balances under 50% of your limit & 30% is even better.

Check for credit report mistakes (they’re more common than you think).

Also hold off on new credit cards or loans until after closing.

You don’t need perfect credit. You just need a smart plan and a little lead time.

🏡 FHA Appraisals: “As-Is” Doesn’t Always Mean Repairs Are Needed!-

Great news for homebuyers and sellers! FHA appraisers can complete an as-is appraisal for existing homes — even if there are minor property issues due to normal wear and tear. 👷‍♂️

As long as the issues don’t impact health, safety, or structural integrity, repairs are not required.
Examples of acceptable cosmetic issues include:
✔️ Missing handrails (if not a safety hazard)
✔️ Cracked window glass
✔️ Torn or missing window screens
✔️ Minor paint defects (post-1978)
✔️ Dripping faucets or small leaks that cause no damage

🔧 The Appraiser should not recommend replacement because of age.
📌 Understanding FHA appraisal guidelines can help reduce stress during the buying or selling process!
