 This Week’s Podcast: Timing the Market Could Save You Thousands 

Many buyers think waiting until spring is the smartest move… but the data tells a different story. According to current projections, mortgage rates are expected to stay relatively steady this year, and buying earlier often means less competition and better pricing opportunities.

We break down:
 Why waiting for lower rates may not actually help
 How spring competition can drive prices higher
 Why buying sooner could mean real savings and less stress
 How understanding timing gives buyers a major advantage
