Staying-in-place has caused a unique – and unforeseen – situation for most people across the country, especially those of you on the homebuying journey.

Follow our next few posts as we explain the reasons for getting preapproved now.
Reason #1/3: The market is changing rapidly and it’s impossible to know which direction the housing market will go. If you’ve been in the market to buy, and don’t see that changing any time soon, then it’s essential to find out how much you can afford by getting preapproved. You may be able to take advantage of historically low interest rates. Call us today to get started.
