Psssst... interest rates arenβt the whole story.
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: does buying a home right now make sense for your finances, your plans, and the life youβre trying to build?
A rate can tell you part of the cost.
It canβt tell you whether youβve 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.
Thatβs why Iβd 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 Iβll connect you with a lender who can walk you through them.
