Down payment assistance can make sense. We’ve got one that is forgivable after 3 or 5 years, and does not have an income limitation.

Bond market update:

Apparently mortgage rates are now being managed by headlines, rumors, and two leaders taking turns trying to sound tougher than the other.

One statement hits… bonds improve.
Another statement hits… bonds give it all back.
Then someone denies something.
Then someone else says the denial was denied.
Then the market looks around like, “So… who are we supposed to believe here?”

That’s the problem right now. The bond market doesn’t know who to trust, so it reacts to everything. Every tough statement, every rumor, every negotiation headline, every “he said, she said” moment can move pricing.

And today, bonds are currently down — which means mortgage rates are feeling that pressure.

This is why rate timing matters. In a headline-driven market, the difference between locking and waiting can change fast.

So before you step into the rate octagon alone, call me.

I’ve got rate options outside the octagon — and we can talk through the smartest move before the next headline throws a chair across the room.

Headline drama = rate volatility.
