Saturday Morning Joe – The Only Weekly Mortgage Market Update You Need! 12-16-23

Welcome Back! Mortgage rates end about ANOTHER half a percent LOWER this week than two weeks ago! I go into it on the deeper dive. Check out the analysis here on this page to see what the rates actually look like today. JUST A REMINDER, FHA has increased their loan limits in OC, San Diego, LA Counties so now it's possible to get a $1.19M home in those areas with 3.5% Down - WOW!

Grab some coffee and get caught up in just a few minutes with what's going on in the current mortgage market, including rates, talking points, affordability hacks for buyers, and ways we can work together to best help today's homebuyers through education rather than emotion.

FHA remains the affordability front runner for 90% of the Clients we talk to right now and you'll see why if you watch this week's analysis.
