Mortgage rates have been climbing again, and if you're hoping to buy, that can feel discouraging.
Remember: you can't control where rates go. But you can control a few things that shape the rate you actually get: your credit score, the type and term of loan you choose, and whether you buy a newly built home, where builders are often buying down rates to bring buyers in.
Focus there, and you will put yourself in a stronger spot without waiting on the market.
