There’s been a lot of talk about new oil deals, falling energy prices, and what all of that could mean for mortgage rates.

Here’s what actually matters if you’re thinking about buying a house:

Mortgage rates are still around the mid-6% range, and they may not fall dramatically anytime soon. Yes, lower oil prices could help cool inflation and eventually put downward pressure on rates, but waiting for the “perfect” rate could cost you an opportunity.

Consider this: the difference between a 6.6% mortgage and a 5.9% mortgage on a typical home might be around $100–$150 a month.

Meanwhile, a motivated seller this fall or winter could negotiate thousands off the purchase price or contribute toward your closing costs.

You can refinance your interest rate later. You can’t refinance what you paid for the house.

So instead of sitting on the sidelines waiting for rates to hit 5%, keep an eye on homes that have been sitting on the market. This winter could create some great negotiating opportunities for buyers.

Negotiate the price now. Refinance the rate later.

Good morning, Owensboro. ☕🏠

I was looking through the latest housing numbers for Daviess County this morning, and there’s an interesting story hiding inside them.

Homes are still selling. A lot of them. But buyers have more choices.

In Owensboro, about 233 homes sold during the latest reported period—nearly 23% more than the same time last year.

And they’re moving.

The typical Owensboro home sold in about 21 days.

That’s a healthy market.

But zoom out to Daviess County and there’s another number homeowners should watch: active inventory is up almost 20% from last year.

That means buyers aren’t just asking, “Can I find a house?”

They’re increasingly asking:

“Which house gives me the best value?”

And that changes the game for a house that needs $20,000, $30,000 or $50,000 worth of work.

The updated house down the street with new floors, new paint and a remodeled kitchen isn’t just another house anymore—it’s your competition.

🔨 That’s why I tell homeowners there isn’t one “right” way to sell a house.

If you’ve got a beautiful, move-in-ready home and plenty of time, putting it on the market may absolutely make sense.

But if you’ve inherited a property, have a rental you are tired of dealing with, own a house that needs substantial repairs, or simply don’t want to spend months getting something market-ready, there is another option.

That’s what Vets Buy Houses does.

We’ll look at the property as it sits and have a straightforward conversation about whether selling directly makes sense for you.

Mortgage rates are still around 6.66%, so buyers are watching affordability closely. Sellers should be paying attention to condition, competition and carrying costs just as closely.

Owensboro is moving—but the numbers say being realistic about your particular house matters.

Good morning, Hardin County. ☕🏠

If you own a house in Elizabethtown, Radcliff, Vine Grove, or elsewhere in Hardin County, here are a few numbers worth paying attention to as we head toward fall.

Hardin County’s median listing price is sitting around $316,500, but the median home actually sold for about $290,900. At the same time, the number of homes for sale is up more than 10% from last year, and the typical home is taking about 51 days to sell.

Elizabethtown itself is a little stronger. The median listing price is around $365,000, homes are spending about 46 days on the market, and Realtor.com still classifies the area as a seller’s market.

So what does that mean?

There are still buyers out there. But those buyers have more choices than they did a year ago.

That matters if your house has an old roof, outdated kitchen, bad flooring, inherited belongings piled inside, deferred maintenance, tenant damage—or you simply don’t want to spend the next couple months getting a house ready for showings.

📈 A clean, updated house priced correctly may do very well on the traditional market.

But not every house—and not every homeowner—needs that process.

That’s where companies like ours fit.

At Vets Buy Houses, we look at houses that may need work and situations where the owner would rather have a straightforward conversation about selling than start painting walls, replacing carpet, scheduling contractors and preparing for weeks of showings.

And there’s another number affecting everybody: the average 30-year mortgage rate is still 6.66%. Buyers are doing the math carefully. Sellers should too.

Sometimes maximizing price is the goal.

Sometimes minimizing headaches is worth something too.

If you’ve got a house in Hardin County you’ve been wondering what to do with, send us the address. No pressure. We’ll take a look at it and tell you what we think.

Local people. Veteran owned. We buy houses. 🇺🇸
