🚨 Something worth paying attention to in the mortgage market…

The past three months have been very significant when it comes to the rise in interest rates.

And if we continue moving in this direction—following the same trajectory we’re seeing on the charts—we could potentially be looking at 8% mortgage rates by this time next year.

That’s not a prediction. It’s simply what the current trajectory could look like if the trend continues.

The market can change quickly, but this is something buyers, sellers, and homeowners should be watching closely. 📈🏠

🚨 So… what the heck is going on with the housing market right now?

If you’ve been watching the headlines lately, you might be a little confused. 😂

One headline says rates are going up.
Another says the economy is slowing.
Sellers are cutting prices.
Buyers have more homes to choose from.
Oil prices are moving.
And now we’ve got CPI, PPI, Treasury auctions and the bond market all potentially affecting where mortgage rates go next. 🤯

Here’s the thing…

I don’t think this is a “good” market or a “bad” market.

It’s a market where you have to pay attention to the details.

🏠 Thinking about buying?
More choices can mean more negotiating power. You may not have to jump on the first house you see, and there could be opportunities to negotiate price, repairs, or closing costs.

🏡 Thinking about selling?
There are still plenty of buyers—but when buyers have more choices, pricing your home correctly and making it stand out becomes even more important.

💰 And mortgage rates?
Yes, they matter.

But they aren’t the entire deal.

The purchase price, seller concessions, taxes, insurance, loan program, monthly payment and your long-term plans all matter too.

Sometimes the question isn’t “Is now the perfect time to buy?”

The better question is:

👉 “Does buying make sense for ME right now?”

That’s a very different question.

The market is moving. Things are changing. And there are opportunities—but you have to know where to look. 👀

If you’re thinking about making a move in the St. Charles/St. Louis area, I’m happy to help you look at the numbers without the sales pitch.

📲 Let’s have a conversation.

Tell an active duty military family that's PCS'n, or veteran family that I have the inside on these properties. It's not information that available to the public, on Zillow, Redin, Rocket Mortgage etc...

Attention Veterans and Active Duty Military!

More and more "LAND" is coming available in West Saint Louis, Saint Charles, and surrounding counties. The process is exciting, but navigating land zoning, utility access, and construction loans requires specialist knowledge. That is why partnering with a local Military Relocation Professional (MRP) like me, is mission essential!

As an MRP, I understand your military timeline, PCS stresses, and how to maximize your VA loan benefits for raw land and new builds. I know Missouri's unique terrain, ensuring your property has proper road access, buildable soil, and utility hookups before you buy.

My Lender Network is not some generic "big bank," providing online pre-qualification certificates, but actual "PRE-APPROVAL LETTERS" that fit your specific wants and needs. Some of my referred lenders are veterans themselves, and are LOCAL to the areas you're dreaming of buying and building in.

Furthermore, as your MRP, I protect you from common builder pitfalls and unreliable inspectors. I'll act your project advocate, and liaison, while you focus on your service or transition. Invest your hard-earned benefits safely with an expert who speaks your language and defends your investment.

Ready to secure your piece of Missouri? Let’s connect today!

$50 million like a sneeze in the wind, if Downtown Saint Louis, and surrounding metros, don't get a grip on the gun crime, and car thefts.

Am I right?
