I know it's Halloween time but, sorry, I don't have any kind of magic to help me tell the future!I may not be able to look ahead but I can look back at history & use that to help me predict what will likely happen with these rising interest rates.Side note: Sometimes navigating these articles about interests rates can give me flashbacks (hives) of my college econ class, but I'm gonna try to explain this as simply as possible.Inflation is high (I mean, have you been to the grocery store!?) And when inflation is high, interest rates are also high. The Federal Reserve has a goal to bring inflation back down. They want it to be around just a 2% increase each year instead of the upwards of 8.9% we've been seeing the last several months.Historically the direction of inflation leads the way & interest rates have followed suit. So when inflation is high, interest rates are high. But when inflation goes down, interest rates have gone down, too.If the Feds can bring inflation back down to 2%, it could lead to lower interest rates, making it much more affordable for you to buy a home.This is SUCH GOOD NEWS, right? Mostly! It's nice to know we are headed in the right direction and there's a good chance of lower interest rates again (although let's not forget that a 7% interest rate is not bad considering 20% interest rates have been a thing before).However, with lower rates comes...more buyers! Which means more housing competition. This doesn't scare me as I help buyers compete over other offers all the time, but this is why I'll tell you the same thing I tell my clients: if you CAN afford your payment at a higher rate, now is the time to buy. Get locked in to a house you love and simply refinance when rates drop again so you don't have to compete with as many offers as you will if you wait.Whew, that was a lot, wasn't it? The good thing is, you don't have to totally understand all of that. You just need an agent in your corner who does! If you have more questions, DM Me!#inflation #interestrates #buyingahome #hombuyer #ashburnrealtor #ashburnva #ashburnvillage #loudouncounty #loudouncountyva #ashburnmoms #loudouncountymoms #loudoouncountyrealtor ...

Read the caption IF YOU DARE 😱 because these seller mistakes are haunting potential buyers (and you probably haven't even noticed!)1. Red/Maroon/Orange Paint Colors - Did you know the color of your walls can impact your mood? Bold, warm colors in the red family can actually make potential buyers feel more irritable and less at ease. Neutral paint will never scare off buyers, so even if you've LOVED your crimson walls all these years, it's best to paint before listing!2. When Sellers "Ghost" Staging - From a report by National Association of Realtors: 82% of buyers’ agents said staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home. Skipping staging is a costly mistake! This doesn't mean you have to hire a designer and buy all new furniture...but take the advice of your agent and remember: this isn't personal! Agents just know what most buyers are looking for and they want you to make the most money on your home sale.3. Neglected Home Maintenance - While this time of year everyone loves visiting an abandoned house, no one wants their next home to look neglected! Don't leave the repairs for the buyers. Take care of them before you put your house on the market to avoid buyers subtracting those repairs from their offer price (and at a greater price than what it would cost you to just get it done)!Have you ever walked through a listing and found something that scared you away from putting in an offer?
