I am writing this as a personal review of Kathrine Parizek employed by Century 21 Allpoints Realty in Glastonbury, Ct. Katie was my agent in the purchase of a condo in Vernon. I had no knowledge of the procedure to buy a condo and she walked me through what I needed to do. She was very professional and assisted me in finding a RE attorney and going with me there. Throughout the process she explained steps that needed to be taken and she contacted me through phone and emails. The docusign system was easy and secure. I would recommend Kathrine Parizek to help you buy or sell real estate in this area.

When mortgage rates are higher... NOW is the time to buy!

WHAT?

Seriously... and here is why:

- When rates are higher, there is less competition, resulting in a wider selection and a better price. It's no secret that inventory is low, and it's hard to find a home in this market that doesn't turn into a bidding war. Higher rates help reduce the number of home shoppers and offers, resulting in less competition for homes and a better price.

- It's like putting money in the bank. Rates may be a bit higher, but so are home prices. Although you'll be paying more in interest, you'll be building equity as home prices rise as well as paying down your loan. While there is no guarantee that home prices will continue to move higher, tight inventory makes it likely.

- Get the house at a lower price now and get the lower rate later. When rates fall, home prices usually move higher as demand drives up the offers. Waiting for rates to fall means you may not be saving anything at all, and could possibly end up with a higher payment instead. If you buy now, you can always look into refinancing when rates fall, and you'll have the lower purchase price AND the lower rate!

Give me a call, email, text, or DM me to talk more about how I can help you own a home, since these rates are not going lower anytime soon.

Forecast for the week of August 5, 2024
Please enjoy this complimentary mortgage rate forecast provided to keep you informed of where interest rates may be headed, and to help you gain the advantage in securing low rates and payments.

Last Week's Mortgage Rate Recap:
Rates improved



Mortgage rates improved to the best levels seen in months last week. On Wednesday we saw improvement after the Fed left its policy rate unchanged, but opened the door to rate cuts starting at the next meeting in September. On Friday labor market data showed a jump in unemployment and much fewer new jobs created than was expected, which all but guaranteed the Fed will start cutting at the next meeting.

This Week's Mortgage Rate Forecast:
Rates likely to be volatile



This week will likely see mortgage rates pull back after dropping more than was expected last week. Although there is not a lot of economic data this week, markets have shown a major overreaction to last week's data. Stocks have plummeted, and traders now believe the Fed will be forced to make bigger and more frequent rate cuts to save the economy from a deep recession. Mortgage rates have moved lower too quickly, which often is followed by a rebound and moves higher.

What's affecting rates this week:
Market volatility: Lenders will struggle to maintain stability with mortgage rates this week as markets whipsaw.
Fed cuts: Markets now pricing in large Fed rate cuts to come, much larger than were considered only a week ago.
