🏡 Attention, home buyers and real estate enthusiasts! 🏡

The housing market is full of surprises, and we've got some exciting news to share! Despite the high mortgage rates, new home sales in January have surprisingly increased by 1.8% compared to the previous year. 🎉

Here's what you need to know:

✅ An estimated 661,000 new homes were sold in January, offering a glimmer of hope in the market.
✅ While existing home sales have declined, new home sales are holding steady.
✅ The median sales price of new houses sold in January was $420,700, indicating that buyers are still willing to invest in new properties.

So, what's driving this trend? Many homeowners are choosing to stay in their current residences due to the high mortgage rates, making it difficult for buyers to find existing homes for sale.

🏡 New Home Sales Surge Despite High Mortgage Rates! 📈

Curious about the real story behind the recent uptick in new home sales? 🤔 In January, new home sales saw a surprising 1.8% increase compared to the previous year, with an estimated 661,000 homes sold. 🎉

But here's the twist: existing-home sales declined during the same period. 😮 The culprit? Skyrocketing mortgage rates, with the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate soaring to 6.9%. 📊

So, what's driving buyers to opt for new homes despite the higher prices? It seems that the limited supply of existing homes is pushing prospective buyers towards the new home market, where the median sales price in January was $420,700. 💰

💡 Did you know you may be able to potentially save on mortgage interest by making bi-monthly payments? By splitting your monthly mortgage payment into two equal parts and paying on the 1st and 15th, you could reduce the overall interest paid over the life of your loan! 📉🏡✨

Steps to Implement:
Check with Your Lender: Ensure that your lender allows partial payments and applies them immediately to your principal balance.

Schedule Payments: Arrange for half of your mortgage payment to be made on the 1st and the remaining half on the 15th.

Monitor Your Statements: Regularly check your mortgage statements to ensure that payments are being applied as intended and that the interest is being reduced accordingly.
DM me Lender if you would like to get in touch with a Fresno or Visalia local lender in order to find out more about your options.

🔍 Note: Results may vary based on individual circumstances and lender policies. For personalized advice, please consult with a financial advisor or your lender.
