🏡 UNDER CONTRACT IN PERRYVILLE! 🔑🎉

Another set of buyers is officially UNDER CONTRACT!

📍 320 S Shelby Street | Perryville, MO 63775
🏡 Single-Family Home
💰 $109,900

This one is a great reminder of something I’ve been talking about lately:

People are STILL buying homes.

Interest rates may look different. The market may look different. But opportunities are still out there — and sometimes it just takes knowing where to look, understanding your financing options, and putting together an offer that makes sense for you.

For my buyers, getting under contract is only the beginning. Now we're moving through inspections, appraisal, title work, financing, and all the little details that take us from “offer accepted” → “WELCOME HOME!” 🏡❤️

I'm excited to help guide this one to the closing table!

And if you're looking at home prices and assuming homeownership is completely out of reach, don't count yourself out before you've actually looked at your options.

You might be surprised what's available.

🏡 What if we stopped shopping for an interest rate…and started shopping for the whole deal?

I’ve seen a LOT of conversation lately about mortgage rates reaching the 7% range.

And I understand why.

7% sounds scary when we all remember 3%.

But here's a hypothetical situation I think is worth talking about.

Imagine Buyer A purchased during the ultra-low-rate market.

🏠 Purchase price: $300,000
📉 Great interest rate
🔥 Multiple offers
💰 Paid at or above asking
❌ Little negotiating power
❌ Seller wasn't interested in paying closing costs
❌ Buyer may have had to move FAST just to compete

Now imagine Buyer B shopping in today's market.

🏠 Same general price range
📈 Higher interest rate
🏡 More inventory to consider
🤝 Potentially less competition
💰 Opportunity to negotiate price
💵 Possibility of seller-paid closing costs
📉 Potential permanent rate buydown
🔨 More room to negotiate inspections or repairs

Which buyer got the better deal?

Trick question.

We don't have enough information to know.

And THAT is exactly my point.

A mortgage rate by itself doesn't tell me whether you're making a good real estate decision.

Neither does the purchase price.

I want to know:

What's your actual monthly payment? How much cash are you bringing to closing? What did we negotiate from the seller? What condition is the property in? How long do you plan to own it? What loan programs do you qualify for? And most importantly—does the payment comfortably work for YOUR household?

Here's another little piece of perspective.

Mortgage rates weren't always 3%.

Freddie Mac's historical data shows 30-year mortgage rates averaged about 7.5% in 1971, 11.2% in 1979 and 16.6% in 1981.

Meanwhile, Census/HUD data show the median new-home sales price went from roughly $23,400 in 1970 to $64,600 in 1980 and $122,900 in 1990.

That does NOT mean today's affordability problems aren't real.

They are.

It means something different:

People have been buying homes through changing interest-rate environments for generations.

So I'm not going to tell you:

“Buy now because rates might go up.”

And I'm not going to tell you:

“Wait because rates might come down.”

I'm going to say:

Let's run YOUR numbers.

Because sometimes the smartest decision is buying.

Sometimes it's negotiating harder.

Sometimes it's changing loan programs or price ranges.

And sometimes the smartest thing I can tell a buyer is:

“Not yet.”

Real estate shouldn't be about convincing someone to buy a house.

It should be about helping someone recognize when the right house + the right financing + the right negotiation + the right timing come together for THEM.

That's how I'm looking at this market.

Not scared of 7%.

Not pretending 7% doesn't matter.

Learning how to work within the market we're actually in. 🏡🔑
