🏡 Should you wait for mortgage rates to drop before buying a home?

Here’s what I’m telling my New Hampshire buyers:

In August, pending home sales in New Hampshire were up more than 17% compared with last year.
That tells us buyers are already coming back into the market.

And here’s the part people sometimes overlook:
📉 When rates come down, more buyers typically enter the market.
🔥 More buyers can mean more competition.
💰 And more competition can put upward pressure on home prices.
You may be able to refinance your mortgage rate later.
But you can’t go back and renegotiate the price you paid for the home.
That does NOT mean you should rush out and buy a house just because rates could change.

The most important thing is this:
👉 Make sure the payment works for you TODAY.
I break this down even further in my full YouTube video, including what today’s mortgage rates actually mean for New Hampshire buyers.

💰 Moving to New Hampshire with CASH? This fall could give you an advantage.

Inventory is improving in New Hampshire, which means buyers have more choices than they’ve had in recent years. And with higher mortgage rates sidelining some financed buyers, a strong cash offer can stand out even more.

That combination can create something buyers haven’t had much of lately:
👉 LEVERAGE.

More homes to choose from + fewer competing financed buyers + a clean cash offer can potentially give you more negotiating power on:
🏡 Purchase price
💰 Seller concessions
🔨 Inspection items
📅 Closing terms

If you’re relocating from Massachusetts, Connecticut, or another higher-priced market and plan to use proceeds from your current home to purchase in New Hampshire, this is a market worth understanding.

I break down what’s happening with mortgage rates, inventory, buyer competition, and the NH housing market in my full video.

🚨 Mortgage rates are back above 7% — but does that mean you should put your New Hampshire home-buying plans on hold?

Not necessarily.

The Federal Reserve recently raised interest rates for the first time in three years, and the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate has climbed back above 7%. 📈

Yes, higher rates mean a higher monthly payment.

But before you panic or decide that buying a home no longer makes sense, you need to look at the REAL numbers — because the impact may be different than you think.

🏡 What does a 7%+ mortgage rate actually do to your monthly payment?

💰 How much does it change your buying power?

🤔 And does it make more sense to buy now, wait, negotiate on price, or explore other financing strategies?

I break it all down in my full video so you can see the numbers for yourself.

Mortgage rates hit 7%. Is the New Hampshire dream over?

Not even close. But the math has changed, and you deserve to see it clearly.

In my new video, I break down:
🏡 The real monthly payment on a $750K and $1.1M home at 6.5% vs 7.1%
📍 Why your town can move your payment more than the rate (Windham vs Bedford vs Amherst)
📊 What's really happening with prices and inventory in Southern NH
💬 My honest answer on whether to buy now or wait

I spent 16 years as a nurse before real estate. I still believe the same thing: calm, clear information leads to better decisions.
