🏡 Date the Rate, Marry the House👇

Whether you're buying, selling, or just nosy about the market like the rest of us, check out MaryLou’s latest tip & hit reply if you have a real estate question. I’ll make sure she sees it!👇

“When rates are high, remind buyers they can always refinance later, but they can’t change the location, floor plan or lot once they buy. If they find their dream home, it’s worth locking it in now - they can ‘break up’ with the interest rate when it drops. Rates are not set to drop or fluctuate much in the next 18 months. Contact me for more information!”
