🚨 PSA for Home Buyers: Waiting for rates to hit 6% may not be the advantage you think it is.

Yes, lower rates can improve affordability. But there’s another side to the story that doesn’t get talked about enough.

When rates drop, more buyers jump back into the market.

That often means:• More multiple-offer situations• More bidding wars• Higher sale prices• Less negotiating power• Fewer seller-paid concessions

Right now, many buyers have something that’s been hard to find in recent years: leverage.

Today’s market may offer opportunities to negotiate:
✔ Seller-paid closing costs
✔ Repair credits
✔ Rate buy downs
✔ Price reductions

One of the most overlooked strategies? Having the seller contribute toward a rate buydown.

Instead of competing against a dozen buyers for a lower rate environment, you may be able to negotiate a seller-paid buydown that gets your payment closer to where you want it today—while still keeping all the negotiating power that often disappears when rates fall.

My Realtor perspective: Don’t focus solely on the interest rate. Focus on the overall deal.

A lower rate doesn’t always mean a lower cost to buy.

And remember: you can refinance a mortgage later, but you can’t go back and buy the house you lost in a bidding war.

As a realtor, referrals are one of the biggest compliments we can receive — and they truly mean so much to us. 🤍

Recently, one of my best friends was relocating to Tennessee from another state. Even though no part of the transaction involved Maine - the state I’m licensed in, she still trusted me to help guide her through the process. After talking through what her family needed, I was able to connect her with an amazing agent in Tennessee who was the perfect fit.

They officially closed on their new home, and I’m so grateful she trusted me to help make the connection! Real estate is so much more than just buying and selling homes locally — it’s about relationships, trust, and helping people no matter where life takes them. 🏡✨

This was not my first out of state assist, and it won’t be the last, if you or anyone you know is trying to relocate to another state feel free to reach out to me for help!

Inspired by the greatest romcom of all time l but make it real estate... 💋 🏡

Most buyers think they know the basics going into a deal, but it’s the small things that can actually cost you the house.

Opening a new line of credit 💳 or furnishing your new living room 🛋️ before closing can actually flag your loan and put the whole deal at risk.

And going in with a low offer “just to see” 👀 •• Usually just tells the seller you’re not serious.

The GOOD news: all of this is avoidable with the right guidance going in.

If you’re thinking about buying in Maine this year, send me a DM before you start 📲- A little preparation in the beginning will save you a lot of heartbreak at the end 🤍
