Are you a potential buyer lingering on the sidelines due to higher interest rates? It’s tempting to weather the storm and wait to buy until rates come back down. The problem is that everyone knows rates will eventually come down, and when they do, there will be a lot of         buyers coming out of the woodwork to compete for your dream home. What if you could buy now, secure a lower rate, and be ready to refinance when those rates are more favorable? To help you do this, today, we’re sharing five tips to help you lower your rate and buy before the rush.
