Mortgage Rates Take a Chill Pill!

Anyone else notice mortgage rates dip again? After last week’s jump, the 30-year fixed just slid under 7% (now 6.96%) and other loan types are seeing relief too. Still higher than last fall, but way better than the crazy peaks in 2023. If you’re house hunting or refinancing, now’s a solid time to shop around and see what lenders offer you!

Are Mortgage Rates Finally Easing Up?

Just checked the latest mortgage rates and they’ve dipped a bit after last week's spike, now hovering around 6.80%. It’s still higher than a month ago, but will rates keep falling? Hard to say—tariffs and economic uncertainty are keeping things unpredictable. If you’re house hunting, work on your credit score and shop around for the best rate. Anyone else hoping for lower rates soon? MortgageRates #HomeBuying #Refinance #FinanceTips #RealEstate

First Key Finds

low fees? great communication? find your lender!

Picking a mortgage lender doesn’t have to be stressful if you focus on two key things: 1. Best Rates & Fees Look for the lowest APR and fees. Many lenders will even match written offers from competitors. 2. Knowledge & Communication You want a lender who can explain things clearly and will ensure a smooth, error-free process. Consider working with mortgage brokers or direct lenders—they specialize in this and often offer great service. Credit unions can also provide good rates, but you may need to join. Big banks are convenient for long-term servicing, but their rates aren’t usually the best upfront. Take the time to interview and compare offers to find the right fit for you! #mortgagetips #homebuying #mortgagelender

Is your income enough to buy a house?

Just saw a chart showing the salary needed to buy a home in 50 U.S. cities—apparently, you need to make over $100k now?! Two years ago it was $88k. That’s a huge jump. I get that prices have gone up, but how is anyone supposed to keep up with that? If you’ve bought recently, how did you manage it? Dual income? Help from family? Side hustles? Curious how folks are actually making it happen. #homebuying #costofliving #realestate #salary

Home First or Student Loan? Read This!

Ever wondered if you should pay off that low-interest student loan before buying a house? One Reddit user is in this exact situation. With $85k in savings and $30k in student loans at just 2.7% interest, he’s debating whether to keep those savings for a bigger down payment. Paying off the loan could help lower his debt-to-income ratio for the mortgage, but is it worth losing the low rate? 🤔 Might be time to chat with a financial advisor! #HomeBuying #StudentLoans #FinancialAdvice #RealEstate

Can You Actually Afford a House in Your State?

Thinking about buying a house? Here’s the scoop: In most states, you’d need to make way more than the average paycheck to comfortably cover a mortgage. For example, in Montana, you’d need a 138% raise just to keep up! But if you’re in Iowa, you’re in luck—homes there are actually within reach for the average family. If you’re dreaming of homeownership, maybe it’s time to look Midwest! #RealEstate #HomeBuying #RealEstateTips
