Coming Soon

Follow us on YouTube to watch live!

Mortgage rates are sitting around 6.8%, and smart homebuyers are taking advantage of a rare window of opportunity.

Right now, many sellers are still offering $10,000 to $15,000 in closing cost help. That kind of support may disappear as rates continue to shift and buyer demand returns. In this video, Bill Gaylord explains why this moment matters, how it impacts your affordability, and why waiting could cost more than acting now.

If you’re thinking about buying a home, now is the time to get clear on your options and take the next step before this window closes.
