New year, new goals! If homeownership is on your list for 2026, we’re here to make it happen. Let’s turn your dream into a plan.

The Federal Reserve lowered policy rates by 0.25% at its December meeting - the third cut this year. But their latest projections show fewer cuts ahead, with just one expected in 2026 and one in 2027.
So, what does this mean for mortgage rates?

While the Fed doesn’t set mortgage rates, its decisions influence investor behavior. Fewer expected cuts could mean mortgage rates stay higher than many hoped.

If you’ve been waiting for rates to drop, here are some things to consider:
✅ Future cuts may already be priced in, so waiting might not bring big savings.
✅ Rates are unpredictable, influenced by global events and economic data -not just the Fed.
✅ If rates fall later, home prices could rise, making today’s prices a smart move.
✅ Renting? Buying now means building equity sooner.
✅ If you took out a mortgage in the last 3 years, refinancing could save you money -lower your monthly payment or access equity.

Bottom line: If you’re ready to buy, refinance, or tap into home equity, don’t let uncertainty hold you back. We’re here to help, and we’re closing loans every day!

🏡 Buying vs. Renting – The Wealth Gap in Numbers

Did you know there’s a big difference in net worth between homeowners and renters? Research from the Urban Institute and other sources highlights the gap:

💰 Median Net Worth

Homeowners: ≈ $400,000

Renters: ≈ $10,400
(That’s nearly 40× more for homeowners.)

💰 Average Net Worth

Homeowners: ≈ $1,530,900

Renters: ≈ $154,900
(That’s about 10× more for homeowners.)

While renting can make sense for flexibility or short-term needs, homeownership has historically played a major role in building long-term financial stability and wealth.

👉 The right choice depends on your goals, lifestyle, and situation. If you’d like to explore what buying a home could look like for you, I’d be happy to share information and answer questions.
