This is a\nchallenging time for you right now, for everyone. While there are a lot of\nunknowns, there are some things that are reassuringly constant. People are\nmaking decisions to reconnect with what is important in life. If you have\nalways wanted to live at the beach, if that is your dream, this is an excellent\ntime to do it. Think I\u2019m crazy? No, I\u2019m not.<\/p>\n\n\n

This situation\nwon\u2019t last forever. When it breaks and things get back to \u201cnormal\u201d it is a\npretty safe bet that home prices will rise. However, while the interest rate\nmarket is a roller coaster right now, all indicators show that rates will be\ndropping significantly when things calm down. So, if you are contracting now\nfor a new home and locking in your home pricing, you can sit and await the most\nopportune time to lock your rate\u2026I call this a win\/win!<\/p>\n\n\n

If you have to\nsell your home, I am hearing of very creative ways that realtors are making it\nwork. I have had several clients in different areas sell their homes in the\nlast 3 weeks, even with their state on lockdown! We can also look at whether\nyou can purchase without selling your home right away. Remember, if you don\u2019t\nhave to settle on a new home and start making payments for 6-9 months, that\ngives a you lot of time to safely sell your home.<\/p>\n\n\n

The roller coaster in the rate market right now is confusing for people. They see that the Fed dropped rates significantly, so why are rates so up and down? That is because the home mortgage interest rates in the short term depend less on what the Fed does, and more on the volatility in the stock market. That is why you are seeing these wild swings. Again, it is a good time to contract on a new home that won\u2019t be complete for 6-9 month at today\u2019s lower pricing and sit tight to wait out locking a rate until it is most advantageous. My team is really great at assisting you with helping you assess the best direction for you. We have many creative ways to look at the changing climate and find a way forward that is right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n

There are many\nways to safely and wisely take advantage of opportunities in the midst of all\nthis chaos. While you have to stay indoors and stay well, you don\u2019t have to put\nyour entire life on hold. You can still make your dream come true to be here at\nthe beach. You will be so glad you did. <\/p>\n\n\n
