Gentle reminder that today’s interest rates are, yes, inching upwards, but they're still historically low! Just take a look at the data from Freddie Mac. You'll see the same trend I did — that rates are getting lower every decade.
Average 30-year rate by decade:
1981: 16.63%
1991: 9.25%
2001: 6.97%
2011: 4.45%
2021: 2.96%
In early June 2022, the average rate for a 30-year mortgage was 5.42%.
Sure, higher than we'd like, but not so bad when you look back 50 years. So buyers, keep your chins up and don't be afraid to go after your homeownership dreams this year. And, of course, let me know if I can help — I’ll be here when you’re ready.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and really, I get the sentiment and all, but I’m guessing whoever said that wasn’t in the market for a new home. The truth is listing photos can only take you so far. Sooner or later, buyers wanna get off their smartphones and get inside some homes. ⁣

A showing can last from 15 minutes (if the house isn’t the one) to an hour or more (Could it be the one??). Just like most things in life, the more showings you attend, the quicker you’ll be able to determine if a home is right for you. ⁣
