"The $280 Shift That Could Change Your Homebuying Plans" 

If you've been holding off on buying a home because of high mortgage rates, this episode is your wake-up call!  According to recent data, monthly mortgage payments on a median-priced home have dropped by $283/month—that’s over $3,000/year in savings! 

 Affordability is improving in 39 of the top 50 U.S. markets, and buyers with a $3,000 monthly budget can now afford homes that are $22,000 more expensive than just a few months ago. That’s major buying power 

We’ll break down:
 Why monthly payments are falling
 What’s driving the affordability shift
 How to take advantage of it NOW

 Don’t miss this episode—it could turn your “maybe” into a “let’s move!”
