Even though the Fed rate cut does not directly impact mortgage rates, we are at historic lows with the average 30-year fixed mortgage rates around 3.5%

So what does this mean?
- If you were thinking about moving up, now is the time. Contact a local mortgage lender (@MonteroMovement) and get pre-approved and start looking for your dream home. Send me the specs of your perfect home and I can look through the "coming soon" inventory to see what might be a match.
- What is your current mortgage interest rate? 5%? 6%? Look into refinancing your loan for a lower monthly payment, or shorten your loan, or take out money for home improvements or for paying off high-interest credit cards.
If you are interested in selling your home, I'd love to talk with you further.
