The BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) came out today and reported that over the past year there were 818,000 less jobs created than reported. That’s 68,000 less jobs per month created. This creates further softening in the labor market and gives the Federal Reserve the signal that lowering rates is coming. We should see the first one in September, and the news is causing rates to drop! If you’ve purchased in the last 2 years, you will have an opportunity to refinance to a lower rate soon, and if your are thinking of buying, now is a great time. When rates drop, home values tend to rise. Get on the bandwagon and buy before prices go up further. I’m here to help you, give me a call and let’s discuss your scenario.
