Is Buying a House with a 6% Mortgage Rate a Smart Move?
In this episode, we explore the current landscape of mortgage rates, focusing on whether purchasing a house with a 6% mortgage rate is wise or if waiting for potentially lower rates is more advantageous. We analyze the Federal Reserve's impending actions and the potential effects of decisions made during Trump's administration. Importantly, we discuss why lower mortgage rates might not necessarily lead to lower payments.
We also prepare listeners for the possibility that mortgage rates could increase rather than decrease, providing insights into why buying at a 6% rate could be a strategic decision. This episode offers valuable guidance for those navigating the real estate market during uncertain times.
