Getting your offer accepted is exciting, but there’s still work to be done before you get the keys! Once you’re under contract, your lender will verify your financial information, the property will go through the appraisal process, and your loan will move toward final approval and closing. During this time, keep your finances stable, respond promptly to requests from your mortgage team, and avoid taking on new debt or making major financial changes without checking with your loan originator first. Have questions about what comes next? I’m always happy to help guide you through the process and make sure you feel confident every step of the way!

📈 Mortgage Market Update

Markets are reacting to the election results this morning, with stocks and mortgage bonds both moving higher.

The takeaway? Markets are anticipating a divided government, potentially limiting new spending and easing some inflation concerns. Lower oil prices and concerns over future energy demand are also influencing the bond market.

However, volatility remains, and we're seeing some pressure on mortgage rates as investors react to the results.

What does this mean for homebuyers? It's a reminder that mortgage rates can move quickly based on economic and political developments. If you're considering buying or refinancing, let's talk about where rates stand and what opportunities may be available.

📲 Reach out anytime. I'm always happy to help you make sense of the market.
