Higher Hope with Adriane Stuebs
7% Interest Rates: Should You Wait to Buy? Ft. Carrie Rosenau
Is a 7% interest rate keeping you from buying a home? In this episode of Higher Hope , Adriane sits down with Shine Realty’s managing broker, Carrie Rosenau, to talk through what today’s housing market really means for buyers. From interest rates and refinancing to negotiating power, inspections, credit, and choosing the right lender, Adriane and Carrie break down the opportunities that buyers may have in a market with less competition. They also discuss strategies for first-time buyers, move-up buyers, sellers, and investors- including Carrie’s own experience buying a home at a higher interest rate and later refinancing to save significantly over the life of her loan. Most importantly, this conversation isn’t about rushing into a purchase. It’s about replacing fear with knowledge, seeking wise counsel, and making decisions that fit your financial situation and your family.
