Your Indecisiveness is Costing You Thousands!
With us today is one of my newest agents, Joel Williams, to discuss the impact of rising interest rates. Currently, interest rates are hovering around 4.5%. Just last year, interest rates were sitting between 3.25% and 3.5%.
A roughly 1% difference may not seem like it makes much of a difference, but if you have a budget of $1,150/month, your payment with a 4.5% interest rate will come in right at $1,150 for a house that costs $177,000. However if you were able to obtain a 3.5% interest rate last year, you could afford a $200,000 home. This is a $23,000 difference in purchasing power!
If interest rates rise continue to rise, let’s say to 5.5%, you will only be able to afford a $147,000 home. This clearly illustrates that now is the time to act – you certainly can’t wait until rates rise again! Not only will waiting cost you more money, but you will be forced to settle for a home you that don’t even want. Just by looking at the examples I showed you, those homes you would qualify for are going to be very different.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to me by phone or email. Thanks and have a great day!
The Pensacola Market is Prime for Investors!
Today I wanted to introduce you to the newest member of Team Dey, Joel Williams. Joel specializes in working with real estate investors, whether you are experienced or a home owner looking into purchasing investment property. Joel is ready to share his knowledge with you!
Due to the amount of distressed properties on the market and the rise of rental rates, Joel tells us that now is a great time to invest in real estate. Whether you want to buy and flip or buyer and rent, the option is open for you. Also, the low investment rates allow for a larger amount of cash flow. Joel knows the right lenders to help you get into the investment game!
With interest rates and real estate prices rising, it is a great time to consider real estate investments as a wealth-building technique. It certainly isn't the only way – but real estate has made a lot of people wealthy.
Feel free to call or email me with any questions. Thanks and have a great day!
