Is a 4.99% rate a great deal — or a trap with a bow on it? 🤔

Big national builders aren't cutting prices right now. They're buying down your mortgage rate — a shiny 4.99% while the market sits near 7%.

Here's what's not said at the sales table:

That rate is tied to **you, not the house.** It doesn't transfer when you sell. And to fund it, the price often stays propped up — $20K–$34K per home has to come from somewhere.

A competing builder said the quiet part out loud on their own earnings call (see graphic): buyers get "tied into" a higher price and can end up underwater if values flatten.

I'm not saying buydowns are evil — for the right buyer, they're smart. The problem is nobody shows you the full math before you sign.

My take: a low rate is only a deal if the *price* underneath it is right. Always ask what the home sells for without the incentive.

So — smart affordability play, or 2008 rhyming a little too close? Drop your take below 👇
¿Una tasa del 4.99% es una gran oferta… o una trampa con moño? 🤔

----------------------------------------

Ahora mismo, los grandes constructores nacionales no están bajando los precios. Están comprando (buying down) tu tasa hipotecaria — un atractivo 4.99% mientras el mercado ronda el 7%.

Esto es lo que no te dicen en la mesa de ventas:

Esa tasa está atada a ti, no a la casa. No se transfiere cuando vendes. Y para financiarla, el precio suele quedarse inflado — esos $20,000 a $34,000 por casa salen de algún lado.

Un constructor de la competencia lo dijo sin filtros en su propia llamada de resultados (mira la gráfica): los compradores quedan "amarrados" a un precio más alto y pueden terminar debiendo más de lo que vale la casa si los valores se estancan.

No digo que los buydowns sean malos — para el comprador adecuado, son inteligentes. El problema es que nadie te muestra las cuentas completas antes de firmar.

Mi opinión: una tasa baja solo es una buena oferta si el precio por debajo es el correcto. Siempre pregunta cuánto se vendería la casa sin el incentivo.

Entonces — ¿jugada inteligente de accesibilidad, o el 2008 rimando demasiado cerca? Déjame tu opinión abajo 👇

New listing in Wendell's Edgemont Landing! 🏡✨

6617 Osprey Landing Drive is a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home built in 2019 — and it comes with a perk you don't see every day: a solar system that's paid in FULL. No lease, no debt to take over, just lower power bills from the day you move in. ☀️💰

Here's what else you'll find:
🛋️ Open kitchen, dining, and living space with granite counters + a brick accent wall
🖥️ Private main-level office
🛏️ Primary suite with its own sitting room + dual walk-in closets
🌳 Deck backing up to mature trees + a covered front porch for real privacy
🏊 Edgemont Landing HOA pool, playground, and walking trails — just $65/month

And here's the big one: this home qualifies for an ASSUMABLE VA loan at 2.5% — a rate you simply can't get on the market today. (Subject to lender/VA approval — ask me how it works!)

Zoned for Carver Elementary, Wendell Middle, and East Wake High. Minutes to Wendell Falls and Hwy 264.

📲 DM me or call 919.822.9800 for a private showing.

👀 Found one for my investor folks.

Off-market, single-story rental in a growing Johnston County neighborhood. The current owners already added a privacy fence and extended patio — the stuff most investors budget for after closing. It's already done here.

The numbers pencil nicely too: strong estimated gross yield based on closed-lease comps in the immediate area, and it's priced under my estimate of current market value.

This one's going out to my investor list before it ever hits the open market — I'm not posting the address publicly.

Want in? Comment "INVESTOR" below or send me a DM and I'll add you to the list so you see it (and future deals like it) first.

🏡 UNDER CONTRACT — 4318 Olde Waverly Way in Fuquay-Varina!

This one moved quick, and we’re now accepting backup offers — so if it caught your eye, you’re not out of the running yet.

It’s right in line with what we’re seeing across Fuquay-Varina right now: homes in Wake County are going under contract in a median of just 18 days, and closed sales are up 16.1% year-over-year. Well-positioned homes are not sitting.

If you’ve been thinking about buying or selling, this is a good time to talk strategy — no pressure, just honest guidance on what the numbers mean for you.

🔑 **UNDER CONTRACT — Multiple Offers. South Raleigh.**

Let that sink in for a second.

In the current market, with rising inventory and buyers who have options — 4625 Cresta Drive in Laneridge went under contract with **competing offers.**

A wooded, custom-built home on 0.60 acres in one of South Raleigh's most established neighborhoods. Done.

This is what the right strategy looks like:
✅ Professional marketing across every major platform
✅ Pricing based on the freshest market data available — not last year's numbers
✅ A negotiation process that created competition, not concessions

If you've been on the fence about selling — in South Raleigh, anywhere in the Triangle, or beyond — this is the conversation to have right now while the momentum is here.

📲 Call or DM me. Let's talk about what your home could do.

We paint brick. Come at us. 🧱

This home looks like every other 1990s ranch in Cumberland County — dark brick, dated trim, blending into the trees.

So we made a call most won't: we're painting it.

Same house. Same floor plan. Completely different buyer energy.

Drop your verdict below 👇 We're putting this one on the market soon and your opinion actually matters.

Here's the number that most landlords simply aren't tracking Even with rents down the monthly gap between what it costs to own versus rent in Raleigh just hit nearly twelve hundred dollars That's the widest it's been in over a year Buying simply isn't an option for a large portion of the Triangle workforce right now Demand for single-family housing rental isn't disappearing It's just becoming more selective because tenants have more options and thus more negotiating power higher expectations than they did just 12 months ago That changes how you have to show up as a landlord
