Mortgage rates moved higher last week — and the biggest story wasn’t the Fed. It was oil.
Higher oil prices brought inflation concerns back into the market, putting pressure on bonds and mortgage rates.
But here’s the part I don’t want buyers and homeowners to miss:
Market changes can create opportunity.
🏡 Buyers may see less competition and more negotiating power.
💰 Homeowners may have opportunities to use their equity differently.
🔑 A move could open the door to keeping your current home as a rental.
📉 And if you purchased at a higher rate, I’m still watching for the right refinance opportunity.
Your mortgage strategy doesn’t have to stay the same just because the market changes.
Wondering what today’s market could mean for you? Call or text me. I’m always happy to run the numbers — even if you’re not ready to make a move.
