Hot take: The mortgage rate “lock-in” effect is more of a myth than you might think.

I hear a lot of agents and industry professionals make the following argument in favor of lower interest rates: “We'd have more supply if rates were lower because more people would give up their historically low mortgage rates and sell their homes.”

This is wrong. Let me break it down…

Sellers are actually buyers… At least 75%-80% of the time according to the data.

Think about it this way… For every 5 homes for sale, you can expect about 4 of those homes to be absorbed by an existing seller.

The first time home buyer is the real driving force behind the housing market.

Why? Because they don’t have an existing home to sell. It is pure demand.

Rates go up, less first time home buyers enter the market as affordability tightens.

Rates go down, more first time home buyers enter the market as buying becomes more affordable.

Now of course, some people are certainly milking their lower mortgage rate and staying in their homes a bit longer… I am not denying that.

But all else being equal…

Lower interest rates = lower levels of supply.

Higher interest rates = higher levels of supply.

So be careful what you wish for ;)

I don’t know who needs to hear this… but I can guarantee that you got a good deal if you went under contract on a property this week in Chicago.

Let me break it down.

Seller’s aim to list their homes the weekend after benchmark Holiday’s… Think Labor Day, July 4th, Memorial Day, etc.

Every year, we see upticks in new listings the week after these major Holidays. This past weekend was the first weekend after Memorial Day…

How was the Weather on Saturday? Rain ALL DAY. Non stop rain from 9 AM - 6 PM.

And what happens when it rains??

A lot of buyers cancel showings when it rains. Because let's face it, no one likes getting wet and fighting traffic all day. I get it.

But this is the EXACT OPPOSITE thing you want to do if you are a buyer. NEVER EVER cancel a showing because of rain.

Less competition means better deals. Pull out the umbrella and rain boots, and go see some properties!

This past weekend we saw heavy rain accompanied by a higher than normal supply in new listings…

Less demand plus more supply = BETTER DEALS.

I was able to get two buyers under contract over the weekend. As a result, we were able to secure properties for a lower price than what they would have paid the weekend prior or the weekend after.

If the first step you're taking in your homebuyer journey is scrolling on Zillow - you're doing it ALL wrong.

Here’s what you should do instead... GET PREAPPROVED FOR A MORTGAGE!

Think about it like this: Getting pre-approved is like having a golden ticket in the home buying world.

It shows sellers you're serious and ready to buy.

And the process is simple: lenders check your finances to see how much they'd lend you.

Which in turn gives you a clear budget, helping you shop within your means.

I’ve heard countless stories of future homebuyers falling in love with a home, only to find out it was out of their budget.

Don't let that be you.

PLUS, in a crowded market, being pre-approved sets you apart, making your offer more attractive in a competitive market.

Who doesn't want that?

You're pi***ng away THOUSANDS of dollars if you do these THREE home renovations

The second one EVERYONE falls victim to so stick around...

One, Fancy Fixtures.

Buying gold faucets and fancy tiles so your bathroom looks like it’s from Downton Abbey is just not worth it, ESPECIALLY if it clashes with other designs in the home.

They're overpriced and don't add value to the home.

If they clash with the design of the other rooms they will turn off buyers and most likely to be changed by the new owner anyway.

The next one is a pool.

The average pool costs $30,000 to install and severely limit the number of homebuyers you can resell to.

What if the next buyer has small children, can’t swim, or just doesn't want to pay thousands every year to maintain it?

If you’re buying a pool, make sure it’s because you REALLY want one.

This brings me to my last one which is specialty installs.

I’m talking about aquariums in the wall, wine cellars in the basement, sauna rooms in the master bathroom.

They cost a lot of money to build, what happens is that people get bored of them after a few months, and home buyers take one look at getting turned off by how expensive it will be to change.
