randerson+FollowWill Home Buying Get Easier in 2025?Thinking about buying a house soon? Goldman Sachs says don’t expect a miracle in 2025—mortgage rates are likely to stay high, so those monthly payments won’t get much friendlier. The good news: even if there’s political drama over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, it probably won’t mess with rates for most buyers. And while fewer immigrants might mean fewer construction workers, there’s already a slowdown in building, so it won’t make homes scarcer overnight. In short: keep saving, and don’t hold your breath for a big price drop! #HousingMarket #HomeBuying #MortgageRates #RealEstate00Share
davenportmeghan+FollowIs It Finally Time to Buy a House?Thinking about buying a home but waiting for a better deal? Good news: Fannie Mae just updated its forecast, and mortgage rates could dip below 6% by next year. That means cheaper monthly payments might be around the corner. Plus, with more homes for sale and sellers dropping prices, buyers could have the upper hand for the first time in years. If you’ve been on the fence, keep an eye out—your dream home might finally be within reach! #HomeBuying #MortgageRates #MoneyHacks #RealEstate10Share
Shelly Powell+FollowMortgage Rates Drop—Is It Time to Refi?Heads up, home shoppers! Mortgage rates just took a dip—30-year loans are down to 6.85%. That means your monthly payment could shrink if you lock in now. If you’re feeling bold (and can handle higher payments), a 15-year mortgage saves you even more on interest in the long run. The catch? Rates probably won’t drop much more soon, so if you’ve been waiting to refinance or buy, this might be your window. Crunch your numbers and see if it’s worth making a move! #mortgagerates #homebuying #refinance #RealEstate174Share
Brian Sanchez+FollowWhy Your Dream Home Feels Out of ReachThinking about buying a house? Mortgage rates just hit nearly 7% again, making it pricier to borrow. Even though there are more homes for sale, buyers are still holding back—pending sales just dropped more than expected. If you’re in the market, don’t just grab the first rate you see; shopping around could save you thousands. For now, higher rates mean you might need to wait or get creative with your budget. #MortgageRates #HomeBuying #PersonalFinance #RealEstate20Share
Shelly Powell+FollowWhy House Hunting Feels Like a Waiting GameThinking about buying a house? Mortgage rates just climbed again—now averaging nearly 7%. That means fewer people are shopping for homes, and even fewer are selling, since no one wants to swap their low-rate loan for a pricier one. The twist? There are more homes for sale than buyers, so if you’re in the market, you might have some bargaining power. Just remember: sellers are still dreaming big with their asking prices! #HomeBuying #MortgageRates #RealEstate10Share
Heather Moore+FollowMillennials Still Chasing Home DreamsTurns out, high mortgage rates aren’t scaring off millennials from house hunting! While most folks are hitting pause on buying, nearly 1 in 4 millennials say they’re still planning to buy a home soon. The twist? Many are dipping into savings or even retirement funds to make it happen. Meanwhile, Gen Z is playing it safe and sticking to renting. If you’re eyeing a house, you’re not alone—just be ready to get creative with your down payment! #HomeBuying #Millennials #MortgageRates #RealEstate10Share
Matthew Jackson+FollowWhy Fewer People Are Buying Homes NowThinking about buying a house? You’re not alone in hitting pause. Last month, way fewer folks signed up to buy homes—mostly because mortgage rates keep climbing, making those monthly payments a lot scarier. So if you’re waiting for a better deal, you’re in good company. The takeaway: high rates are making everyone rethink that dream home for now. Maybe it’s time to keep renting or wait for rates to chill out! #HomeBuying #MortgageRates #MoneyTalks #RealEstate934Share
Denise Kemp+FollowWhy Your Mortgage Quote Just Got PricierHeads up if you’re house hunting: mortgage rates are creeping up again, now just under 7%. The reason? Investors are spooked by all the talk about the U.S. government’s growing debt, so borrowing money is getting pricier. If you’re planning to buy soon, shop around for the best rate and keep an eye on the news—things could change fast. Even a small rate bump can mean a bigger monthly payment, so timing matters! #mortgagerates #homebuying #personalfinance #RealEstate00Share
Shelly Powell+FollowAre Mortgage Rates About to Hit 7%?Thinking about buying a home or refinancing? Mortgage rates are flirting with 7%—yikes! The reason? Big government spending plans are making investors nervous, which pushes rates up. If Congress doesn’t get the budget under control, rates could climb even higher. For now, don’t expect a huge drop. If you’re shopping for a house, use a mortgage calculator to see how these rates hit your wallet, and maybe hold off on refinancing unless you can save big each month. #MortgageRates #HomeBuying #MoneyTips #RealEstate00Share
