Rates Under 6.5%! Don’t Miss the Train Again

Market Update

Coming Soon

Follow us on YouTube to watch live!

Don’t miss the train again. Mortgage rates just dipped below 6.5%, with FHA and VA under 6%. That’s a big shift, and right now buyers still have the upper hand. Sellers are offering tens of thousands in concessions, lowering prices, and even covering buy downs to reduce payments.

But this window will not stay open for long. With a Fed rate cut expected in September, demand will pick up quickly. When that happens, sellers will stop negotiating, prices will rise, and multiple offers could return.

If you wait for lower rates, you may end up paying more for the same house, without the seller help that is available right now. Many homes are selling below appraised value, which means instant equity for today’s buyers. This is free money on the table.

Real estate is not about perfect timing. It’s about getting in, building equity, and letting time in the market work for you. Buyers who acted in tough markets are now sitting on tens of thousands in equity and financial freedom. This is your chance before the train leaves the station again.
