Mortgage rates have been climbing again, and if you're hoping to buy, that can feel discouraging. Here’s what you have to remember. You can't control where rates go. But you can control a few things that shape the rate you actually get: your credit score, the type and term of loan you choose, and whether you buy a newly built home, where builders are often buying down rates to bring buyers in. Focus there, and you put yourself in a stronger spot without waiting on the market. Want to talk it through? A trusted lender can help with the numbers, and we can find the home to match.

Selling this fall? Starting strong matters even more this time of year. In the fall, buyer activity typically starts to slow while the number of homes for sale climbs. That means fewer buyers may be looking at more options – so you want your house to stand out from day one. Here’s the cheat sheet for how to make that happen. Price it for today’s buyers. Not what your neighbor sold for a few years back. Make your house hard to pass up. Tackle essential repairs and spend time on your curb appeal. Stay flexible when offers come in. This is not the season to play hardball. And be ready to adjust when needed. If you keep getting the same feedback from buyers, take it to heart. If you want to sell before the end of the year, let’s make sure you have the right strategy from the start. Because with the right plan, selling in the fall is a no brainer. 💁🏻‍♀️ Andie Katz, Assoc.
