Should you wait for mortgage rates to fall before buying? Maybe, but a lower future rate doesn’t guarantee a better overall deal. If rates decline, more buyers may enter the market in competition could increase. Focus on what you can control: your budget, loan options, purchase price, negotiations, and the condition of the home. By only when the payment works for you today. Refinancing may be possible later, but it should never be treated as guaranteed.

DM me “plan“ to start a no pressure home buying conversation.

Johns Island and James Island: Popular for buyers seeking a relaxed Lowcountry setting with access to downtown and Folly Beach. Traffic, infrastructure and future development are important considerations.
