So let’s assume you bought a house in 2023 at the height of our most recent mortgage interest rates. You are paying around 7-7.5%. If you bought your home for around $400,000, your payment is likely around $2,800/month (taxes & insurance included).
While the headlines and real estate agents around you are chattering about “now is the best time to buy in the past 5 years” and “buyer demand is up, sell now!”
What ACTUALLY might be best for you is looking into a refinance. At today’s rates, and assuming you have paid off a tiny bit of your principal loan balance, if you were to refinance your new payment would be around $2,368/month.
That is a savings of over $400/month!
So, why would your real estate agent be encouraging you to stay IN your home rather than moving? It is because my goal is to have you as a client for life. And that means guiding you in AND outside of real estate moves. It means being there for you through the moves, the saving of money, the renovation projects, the downsizing, the needing more space, and everything in between.
If this sounds attractive to you, give me a shout and I will connect you with one of my trusted lenders to open up the option to save!
