Shelly Powell+FollowWhy Your Mortgage Rate Won't Budge YetThinking about buying a home or refinancing? Mortgage rates are stuck around 6.7% right now, and they’re not likely to drop soon. The reason: the U.S. and U.K. just made a trade deal, but nobody knows what tariffs will look like yet. That means the economy’s in limbo, and so are rates. If you’re house hunting, don’t hold your breath for a big drop—at least not until things get clearer on the trade front. #MortgageRates #HomeBuying #MoneyTips #PersonalFinance #RealEstate00Share

Denise Kemp+FollowHome Prices on Hold? Here’s WhyThinking about buying a house soon? You might want to wait. The boss of America’s biggest building materials company says high interest rates are keeping the brakes on new home builds. Translation: fewer new homes and stubbornly high prices for a while.

Time to keep saving or get comfy where you are! #HomeBuying #InterestRates #RealEstate #MoneyTips01Share
Samantha Welch+FollowWhy Your Dream Home Feels Out of ReachEver feel like buying a home is getting harder? You’re not alone. High prices, steep mortgage rates, and rising costs for building materials are making it tough for both buyers and builders. Even home renovations are pricier, thanks to labor shortages and more expensive supplies. If you’re thinking about moving or remodeling, keep an eye on interest rates and maybe hold off for a better deal—or consider a smaller project to stretch your budget. #HomeBuying #MoneyTips #Remodeling #HousingMarket #RealEstate00Share
