FYI... interest rates arenāt the whole story. š
Somewhere along the way, interest rates became the main character in EVERY homebuying conversation.
They matter, OF COURSE.
But obsessing over one number can distract you from the question that actually matters:
šš¼āDoes buying a home right now make sense for my finances, my plans, and the life Iām trying to build?ā
A rate can tell you part of the cost.
It canāt tell you whether youāve outgrown your current space, how long you plan to stay, what opportunities exist in your local market, or whether the monthly payment fits comfortably into your real life.
Thatās why Iād rather help you evaluate the whole decision than wait around for one magical number to give you permission.
If you want to run your actual numbers, send me a message and lāll connect you with a lender who can walk you through them.
