Buy/refinance now or later?

If you're buying, acting sooner will most likely serve you advantageously to beat out future competition now that home prices are rising so quickly again (and mortgages as of today are at an 8-year LOW, so take comfort knowing you'll be getting an awesome rate!).

If you're refinancing, it's generally a good idea to do so once you're able to score 0.5%-0.75% off your current rate after refinance fees and costs. It's not unlikely we may see some more rate decreases, so it's up to you to decide when is the right time!

Feel free to reach out for mortgage referrals if you'd like to find out more!

An emergency rate cut from the Federal Reserve, the 10-year Treasury bond yield at historic lows -- if you've been waiting to refinance or buy a home it appears your time has come.

The numbers are in! Seattle, Tacoma and *most* surrounding areas are experiencing a much hotter market than a year ago!

Check out the year-to-year comparisons between Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, Gig Harbor, and Port Orchard.

With a combination of attractive interest rates (like, really attractive), rock-bottom inventory, and our continued population growth with the robust tech scene here, we're looking at an exciting season for both buyers and sellers alike!

🚨 BIG NEWS for & on closing today at their DREAMY new house (I almost want to call it an estate) in Snohomish! Even though this was the hottest home on Redfin at the time, and Kyle and Chesa planned on moving from Portland (with three little ones!), we made it happen! So many memories to be made now ❤️ ⁠

Kind of a funny headline reason for low mortgage rates (there are indeed several others), but a stellar time to make moves whether you're a current homeowner, or looking to list or purchase!

Rates being at such a low % for any reason are an excellent opportunity to reduce existing mortgage payments by hundreds or more depending on your loan terms/amount (see below example):

$400,000 balance at 5.00% APR (30-year)
Refinanced to 3.50% APR (30-year)
SAVINGS: $386/MONTH

For all those involved in selling, this now means home values are heating up like crazy due to increased competition from more qualified buyers able to join the game, meaning higher price potential!

Buyers, now’s your time to shine! Lock in one of these new rates with a pre-approval and start shopping before everyone else catches on in the coming months!

As coronavirus fears hit financial markets, U.S. bond yields are tanking, pushing mortgage rates that loosely follow the 10-year Treasury yield toward an eight-year low. They could sink even lower.
