Got pre-approved this summer? Rates moved, but your plans don’t have to. 🏡
Mortgage rates are higher than they were a few months ago, and a lot of buyers are wondering if their summer pre-approval still makes sense. John teamed up with Coleena Zimet of Eustis Mortgage to break down what to do next.
Here’s the thing about renting: every rent check builds someone else’s investment. When you buy, even at a higher interest rate, your monthly payment is building equity in a home that can grow in value and give you a return down the road.
Coleena’s two ways to make buying work right now:�✔️ Rate buydown: a strategy that can lower your interest rate and monthly mortgage payment�✔️ Down payment assistance programs: options that may let qualified buyers purchase with no money down
Buying a home in Metairie and across Southeast Louisiana is still within reach. The right lender and agent team makes all the difference.
