👀What I'm seeing from builders this week and why some clients that work from home or aren't worried about long commutes are selling their places near the cities. ✌️
They are using their current equity/proceeds to pay off credit card and other debts and buying newer homes further away, taking advantage of deals like these. 💥 💥 💥

I'm not going to tell you that giving up your daily coffee is magically going to make you a homeowner 🙄
But here's something worth thinking about...
Those little purchases don't seem like much until you do the math.

💸 $7 a day = $2,555 a year

💸 $14 a day = $5,110 a year

💸 $21 a day = $7,665 a year

And suddenly those "it's only a few bucks" purchases aren't looking quite so innocent. 👀

Now, if your morning happiness comes in the form of a Venti Iced White Chocolate Mocha with 3 extra shots, cold foam, caramel drizzle, oat milk, 47 pumps of something and a prayer... ENJOY IT. 😂

I'm not here to ruin your coffee.
I'm just saying, pay attention to where your money goes. Those little expenses have a sneaky way of adding up, and some of that money could be going toward a down payment instead.

You don't have to give up everything you enjoy to buy a house. Just make sure your spending matches your priorities.

Buy the latte. Just don't let the latte buy your house before you do. 🏡😂

🙅‍♀️Not your father's loan!
Adjustable-rate mortgages are making a comeback. Should we be nervous? 👀

If the words adjustable-rate mortgage immediately give you flashbacks to the 2008 housing crash, you're probably not alone.👀

But here's something worth understanding...

An ARM isn't automatically dangerous. Buying one without understanding the risks can be.

Laws have since been passed ensuring the days of predatory hidden changes and charges are behind us with new disclosures.

Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) are getting attention again because they can offer a lower initial interest rate than a traditional fixed-rate mortgage.

Here's how they work:

Let's say you get a 5/6 ARM. Your interest rate stays fixed for the first 5 years. After that, it can adjust every 6 months based on market conditions and your loan terms.

That means your payment could go DOWN. 🎉

It could also go UP. 👆😬

And that's where buyers need to pay attention.

Before considering an ARM, you should know:

🏠 How long is my rate guaranteed?

🏠 How much could my payment increase?

🏠 What's the maximum rate my loan could ever reach?

🏠 Could I still afford my home if that happened?

And here's the big one...

Please don't build your entire financial plan around "I'll just refinance before the rate changes."

Maybe you will! But refinancing isn't guaranteed. Rates, home values, and your own financial circumstances can all change.

ARMs can absolutely make sense for certain buyers. They're a financial tool, not automatically a bad decision.

But the goal isn't just to get you INTO a home. It's to make sure you can comfortably afford to STAY there.

A lower payment today is great. A financial surprise five years from now? Not so much.

Ask questions. Compare your options. Understand what you're signing.

And please, don't let the prettiest interest rate in the room distract you from its personality. 😉

**WHAT IF
the people waiting for housing to become more affordable are actually contributing to the reason it isn't?** 🤔

👉Stay with me here, we have an entire generation of potential homebuyers sitting on the sidelines, waiting for prices or interest rates to come down. But here's the thing...
Just because they aren't spending money on housing doesn't mean they aren't spending money.

They're still buying cars, upgrading phones, ordering DoorDash, taking lavish vacations, shopping on Amazon, financing things they probably don't need, etc.💸

And before anyone gets offended, I'm not suggesting everyone is out there blowing money. I know plenty of people are barely keeping up with basic living expenses.

But think about this for a second.
What if a huge percentage of Americans in their prime first time homebuying years collectively decided to stop spending on unnecessary things? What if they stopped contributing to the very inflation that contributes to higher mortgage rates?

Consumer spending drives a HUGE part of our economy. When people spend less, demand cools, which can help bring inflation down. Lower inflation can eventually help bring interest rates down, too!

Now imagine those same people have also spent that time building savings, paying down debt, and improving their credit.

They've potentially improved their buying power in TWO ways. Their own financial situation is better AND the economic conditions could be better.

Obviously, housing affordability is a much bigger issue than people spending too much money. We have inventory challenges, high housing costs, and wages that haven't kept up in many areas.

But I do wonder how much purchasing power an entire generation could gain if more people collectively shifted their financial priorities and like I always say, stop tripping over dollars to pick up a few pennies.

Oh, I know here's the other thing... if everyone suddenly had the money to buy at the same time, we'd probably create a whole new problem with demand pushing prices up. 😂

Still an interesting concept and while, there's no perfect solution, I can't stop wondering...Are we really "waiting for the market", or are some of us just putting off getting financially ready while stuck in Peter Pan land just a bit?💁‍♀️
