🏡 Mortgage Rate Update | October 1, 2026

Mortgage rates have shifted a bit, but that doesn’t mean your homeownership plans have to be put on hold.

With more inventory and more opportunities to negotiate in today’s Sussex County market, it may still be worth exploring your options.

Every buyer’s situation is different — and sometimes simply knowing what’s possible is the best place to start. 🔑

Curious what buying could look like for you? Let’s talk.

Rates vary by lender, loan program and borrower qualifications.

🏡🔑 SOLD — AND THIS ONE IS EXTRA SPECIAL! 🔑🏡

A HUGE congratulations to Josh & Mikayla on purchasing their FIRST HOME! 🎉❤️

This moment has been three years in the making, and I couldn’t be happier for these two!

Our home search originally started about three years ago, but life had some pretty exciting plans of its own. 💍 They took a pause to plan their wedding, and this year, we jumped right back into the search for their first home.

We toured plenty of properties along the way and finally submitted an offer on a home back in August. Unfortunately, that one didn’t work out. It was definitely a blow, but we weren’t giving up!

We got right back out there, and it wasn’t long before we found and toured THIS home. Pretty quickly, it became clear…

✨ THIS WAS THE ONE! ✨

We submitted an offer, negotiated back and forth, and ultimately reached terms that worked for everyone. From there, we moved through the buying process — and while there were definitely a few bumps and stressful moments along the way, we worked through every one of them.

And today… WE MADE IT TO THE SETTLEMENT TABLE! 🎉🔑🏡

I absolutely LOVE this outcome. ❤️ Seeing you guys finally get the keys to your new home was worth every minute of this three-year journey.

Josh & Mikayla, thank you for trusting me to walk beside you through such an important chapter of your lives. Helping you take this step toward building your future and guiding you through one of the biggest purchases you’ll ever make has truly meant so much to me.

From planning a wedding to buying your first home… you two have had quite the few years! 🥹❤️

Congratulations, homeowners!!! 🏡🔑🥂
Now go make that house HOME! ❤️

🏡 BUYERS — THE SUSSEX COUNTY MARKET IS GIVING YOU MORE ROOM TO MOVE!

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the real estate market to change, this may be the time to take another look. 👀🔑

The Sussex County market is looking different than it did during the frenzy of the past few years. With more homes available and properties spending longer on the market, buyers may have opportunities that simply weren’t as common before.

✨ What does that mean for YOU?

🏠 More choices — Increased inventory means more homes to consider.

💰 More negotiating opportunities — Depending on the property, there may be room to negotiate price, seller concessions, repairs or other terms.

⏰ Less pressure — Not every home is disappearing overnight, giving buyers more opportunity to make an informed decision.

🔑 More ways to make a deal work — The purchase price is only ONE part of an offer. Closing assistance, inspections, settlement dates and other terms can all play a role.

Yes, mortgage rates still matter. But waiting for the “perfect” rate could also mean missing an opportunity in a market where buyers currently have more leverage and more choices.

Not sure if buying makes sense for you yet? You don’t have to be ready to make an offer to start the conversation.

Let’s look at the numbers, explore what’s available in Sussex County, and figure out what makes sense for you. No pressure. 🏡💜
