WORDS TO LIVE BY

MORTGAGE CORNER

What the heck is going on with mortgage rates?

Mortgage rates have been on a roller coaster in May, and June could prove to be just as volatile. Mortgage rates are reacting to stubborn inflation, as well as expectations that the Fed may continue raising rates at the next meeting rather than pausing as was expected at the beginning of the month.

If you or someone you know is thinking of buying a house or refinancing, I'm here to help. I can't control the roller coaster, but I can help make sure you're buckled in properly and don't throw up.

Contact me or text me today if you want to talk more about getting prequalified for a new home purchase, or if you'd like me to run some numbers for you to see if refinancing makes sense.

or if email is easier.
