June is national homeowner’s month, and for many people, owning a home represents the American Dream, financial stability, and sustainability. It’s is an investment in the community, a place to set roots, build memories, and one of the largest assets a person will ever have.
Whether your idea of the perfect home is a cottage in a quiet community, a town home close to relatives, or a large, luxury estate with all the modern nuances, home is where the heart is and where you build your financial stability.
Owning a Home Just Got Easier with Lower Rates
For the first time in 16 months, interest rates have dropped below 4%. According to Freddie Mac, interest rates declined to 3.99%; last year at this time, rates were at 4.56%. This makes buying a home more affordable for those waiting to purchase a home and timelier for those wanting to lock in a low interest rate.
Whether you are looking for a 30 year fixed, a 15 year fixed, or a 5/1 ARM, it’s a wise decision to consult with a professional mortgage advisor who can look at your specific information and pre-qualify you.
Why Being Pre-Qualified Puts You Ahead of the Competition
In any market, a seller wants to choose a buyer who comes in with a fair asking price and the least possibility of anything going wrong during the transaction. When you present your offer with proof of pre-qualification for a loan, you are giving the seller sound financial reassurance that you can afford their home and have the funds.
Whether you use a bank or go to one of the many lenders, your loan officer should present you with a pre-qualification document that you can use during the offer. Your Realtor® should present a copy of the document with your offer and any other documents that can make your deal more attractive than the competition.
