A lot of buyers are waiting because they think mortgage rates will drop dramatically. The problem? That's not what today's forecasts say is going to happen. Experts believe mortgage rates will actually stay in the mid to low 6s through 2027 due to a number of factors – including inflation. What’s that tell me? Waiting may not pay off the way you hope it will. So, if moving is important to you, I want you to know waiting isn’t your only option. Builder incentives, adjustable-rate mortgages, assumable mortgages, and rate buydowns are just a few of the strategies worth exploring that could help with affordability right now. I’m not saying you have to buy today, but you should at least know your options. Let's talk about what could work for you. #MortgageRates #HousingMarketForecasts Susan Adams - Coldwell Banker West - DRE#01994357

Let’s connect so you have an expert who can at least walk you through your options and decide whether waiting really puts you in a better position – or just keeps you on the sidelines a little longer. #HomeAffordability #MortgageRates Susan Adams - Coldwell Banker West - DRE#01994357

Think big investors are snapping up all the homes? The data says otherwise. The largest institutional investors are now selling more homes than they're buying – and the gap is growing every quarter. That means those homes are going back on the market for regular buyers. And since big investors tend to own lower-priced homes, a lot of them are right in the range first-time buyers want. Less competition. More options for you. DM me and I'll show you what's hitting the market in our area. #FirstTimeHomebuyer #HouseHunting Susan Adams - Coldwell Banker West - DRE#01994357

Repeat buyers, you’ve got a big leg up on your next move. It’s your equity, the difference between what your house is worth and what you still owe on your mortgage. Sell, and that equity turns into cash you can roll right into your next down payment. That’s how a lot of repeat buyers put down 20% or more. But why do they, especially when they don’t necessarily have to? Because putting more down saves you money in the long run. A bigger down payment means a smaller loan, so your monthly payment is lower and you’re paying less interest over time. You can also skip private mortgage insurance, or PMI, which is an additional monthly fee required for loans with less than 20% down. Talk to a trusted lender to figure out what down payment makes the most sense for your budget. And when you’re ready to kick start your move, let’s talk. #DownPayment #HomeBuyingTips Susan Adams - Coldwell Banker West - DRE#01994357
