3% mortgage rates were never normal. They were a once in a lifetime sale.

Hop on the rollercoaster with us: 9% in 1975, nearly 14% in 1980, down to 3% in 2020, and back to 7.4% today.

Rates move. Homeownership still builds wealth in every market. The buyers who win are the ones who buy when they are ready, not when the rate feels perfect.

Thinking about a move in the western suburbs? Comment 777 and let us talk through what today's rate really means for you.

Rates shown are the average 30 year fixed for each year, Freddie Mac. This week's average is 7.4%.

What's the biggest payment you make every month? If you’re a renter, it's probably your rent.
