Durango is buzzing spring energy is in full swing, and the market’s about to follow. 👇🏻

Buyers are still hesitant because of rates, but here’s what we’re seeing:

Rates are still hovering around 6.86% not ideal, but not forever. When they drop, competition will explode. If you’ve been thinking about buying, now is the time to act before the wave hits.

You can always “date the rate and marry the house.” 🏡

📲 DM “MOVE” and I’ll walk you through what’s happening locally + what to jump on before summer hits.
