The Power of Low Interest Rates

The Power of Low Interest Rates

We have talked about it before.

With everything going on some buyers hoped to see a decrease in home values, deciding to wait out purchasing a home πŸ€” ⁣ ⁣

But as discussed we have seen the opposite occur, due to low inventory of homes on the market, and high demand, homes have seen an increase in price πŸ“ˆβ£ ⁣

Another reason to not wait is we still have historically low interest rates. ⁣ ⁣ So I figured it would be helpful to talk with Bethany Imhoff of Pacific Residential Mortgage to discuss just how important low interest rates are for your purchase power πŸ’ͺ🏼 ⁣ ⁣

Firstly, she points out the most important factor that, a lower rate means a lower monthly payment.⁣ ⁣ And Bethany has found with the decrease in rates people are qualifying for properties they were unable to qualify for months prior. ⁣ ⁣

Lastly, it’s not always important to get the dream home right out of the gate. Often what's important is to get property, enter the market, build equity and be in a better position when you go for that second home, dream home, forever home 🏘🏠🏑⁣ ⁣ Have questions about current and future interest rates? Bethany would be happy to chat. ⁣ ⁣ Need a question answered on the real estate side of things? I'm always available to talk at πŸ“± 971.3616114 or πŸ‘©πŸΌβ€πŸ’» lilywyss@kw.com⁣ ⁣
