What's your "go-to" tool in your tool bag? For the last 15 years, most homeowners have used a traditional 30-year mortgage to purchase their homes. But that may not be the best tool to use right now. If you try to use a hammer to screw on a part, it just doesn't work. As you know, you need a different tool based on different situations.
If you've tried to buy a home and only looked at a traditional 30-year, fixed-rate conventional mortgage and it didn't "work" for you, you may just need a different tool! There are A LOT of options out there to help you buy a home regardless of the interest rate - temporary rate buydowns, permanent rate buydowns, down payment assistance programs, seller concessions... just to name a few.
If you need to buy a home this year, here is my best advice: Use a mortgage advisor that will help you go through all the "tools" until they find the best one for your situation.
