Last week, I attended the Edwards Abstract and Title Co. State of Real Estate Forum featuring economist Dr. Ted Jones.
Dr. Jones said one thing that stood out to me during the presentation - if you have clients waiting for mortgage rates to get better, then tell them to do it now, because this is 'better'. The historic lows during the pandemic were a one-off, and will likely never be that again.
There's a saying amongst real estate professionals: "date the rate, marry the house". And nothing was more evident of that than my clients who refinanced their mortgage after spending the last 3 years working on their credit and were able to qualify for a lower rate.
As a Certified Notary Signing Agent, I was happy to assist them with that. ✒️📃
