What you'll learn in this video:
1. Mortgage rates are currently stable, but upcoming events—like Fed Chair Powell’s speech and the September 17 FOMC meeting—could impact them.
2. Trying to time the market is risky; buyers ready to purchase should consider locking in their rates now.
3. A 20% down payment is not required—affordable mortgage insurance and FHA programs offer alternatives for qualified buyers.
4. Waiting to save more can backfire, as rising home prices may outpace savings and reduce affordability.
5. Focus on affordability today, not outdated rules—buy when you're financially ready, not when you hit an arbitrary savings goal.
