If you watch mortgage rates on a regular basis, it’s sometimes hard to see when rate are down. It’s kind of like watching your kids grow….you don’t see their growth on a daily basis, but then one day you look at them and realize wow, they’re really getting big!

So if you haven’t taken a look at mortgage rates lately…wow, they are a bit lower than they were just a week ago!
Here’s some food for thought for you first-time home buyers who have been on the fence about buying, and why now may be a great time to get off that fence. Right now rates are lower than they have been in a while, and there’s no guarantee how long, or even if, they’ll stay here. If you keep holding out for rates to get lower, you could miss the boat completely and be priced out of the market as home prices continue to rise- all the while continuing to pay rent while also missing out on the equity you could be gaining. Another great motivation to buy a house is that homeownership is one of the most powerful vehicles for building long-term financial security and generational wealth. Plus, buying now before everyone else realizes that interest rates are lower gives YOU a head start before you may have to compete against multiple buyers vying for that dream home you want.
So stop making your landlord rich and start building your own wealth!
