Rate Environment

When rates move, your payment math changes

Interest rates don't stay flat for long, and even small shifts matter to your wallet. When rates go up, your monthly payment rises on a new loan or refinance. When they drop, that's when refinancing starts to make sense for existing borrowers. The key is understanding where rates are today and how they might affect your specific situation—whether you're thinking about buying soon, considering a refinance, or just curious about your options. The best time to understand this stuff is before you need to act on it, so you're never caught off guard.

If you'd like to talk through how today's environment affects your situation, I'm here to walk you through it.

Tip of the Week

Closing costs typically run 2-5% of the loan amount. Ask your lender for a Loan Estimate so there are no surprises.

Tips for Homeowners

Protecting Yourself from Mortgage Scams

1.

Wire fraud is one of the fastest-growing real estate scams. Never wire closing funds based solely on email instructions — always verify account numbers by calling your title company at a number you look up yourself.

2.

Loan modification and foreclosure rescue scams target homeowners in distress. Legitimate help is available free through HUD-approved counseling agencies at 800-569-4287.

3.

Be wary of unsolicited offers to refinance or cash out equity at terms that sound unusually favorable. If someone contacts you out of the blue, verify their NMLS license number at nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
