Today was the perfect day.

I was able to attend this closing of this young couple buying their 2nd house. They were born the year before I became a loan officer 😝

It’s such a joy to see young couples, smart with their money and moving up. They’re about to have their first child, So they needed a bigger 🏠

They gave up 3% interest rate on their current home and yes, closed in the 7’s.

⚠️Before you think that this is a bad move…….When they bought their house in October 2020 it was worth $260,000. Today, four years later, it’s worth $485,000.

It’s true that the appreciation of 2020 and 2021 was not normal. THINK ABOUT THIS though, those that buy houses now (even at higher rates) , will enjoy another wave of appreciation when the rates do come down in the next year or two . Homebuyers will then come out of the woodwork to buy homes because they’ve been putting their lives on hold to wait for more reasonable monthly payments.

☎️ Reach out to me if I can help you get started to make your next move! 713-446-7791

Ps. They had the help of the most amazing realtor ☀️

My family and I recently visited a friends ranch in West Texas . It was the perfect reminder of the freedoms that we have as a society. The freedom to choose, the freedom to travel, the freedom to live our lives as we choose. These are just to name a few. I’m proud to be an American! This past July 4th weekend was not only about working on your tan or watching fireworks. It’s about honoring the country that has loved us so much. Take nothing for granted.

Speaking of taking things for granted..........

The freedom of choice allows American’s to purchase real estate, and build wealth. As a lending professional for almost 29 years, I have PROOF that real estate is the best wealth builder of all time!

Countless families we have helped buy and buy again, and I see the equities they have built in their homes since our first transaction.



This market is tough.

Buyers have lost faith.

Affordability is at an all time low.

Rates were slightly up again last week due to a weak jobs report, and fear of no movement from the FED.



There is a silver lining.

The 4th to me is about remembering all those before us that stood up to adversity so we could be free. Free to choose, to express ourselves, and to invest in our own future. 🏡 Homeownership IS THE AMERICAN DREAM and feeling so blessed today in my own home with family, friends and also our sweet boxer girl Mini 🇺🇸

On July 1, 2003, I recruited my baby brother Kenny Hughes to be my assistant. Kenny had experience with credit review at his then current job, plus I wanted him back in our hometown of Houston.

Now, 21 years later, Kenny and I still are working together! 😜. How do we do it? Lots of tolerance for sure 😝 .

All joking aside , Kenny and I respect each others ‘ lanes’ . He’s the operations brain, making sure all details are in order and excellent at solving turbulence that arises in the process. He loves to do things I don’t, and it works!

Kenny is also such a loyal and dependable confidant. Since we were kids, he was protecting me from harms way. These 21 years is no different. He makes sure I’m paying attention to our teams blind spots, and is the most consistent , and ethical human I’ve ever met.

Kenny, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Thank you for your dedication and commitment to me and the team . Plus you’re an amazing baby brother. ❤️.

The inevitable happened Thursday.
My firstborn and my hubby, started driving east to Florida. 20 hours later, they arrived in South Miami where he will spend the next year. Is it possible to be sad and happy at the same time? I know.... as parents we have prepared for this moment, all the hard work we put in teaching them to be polite, compassionate and driven humans.
I know. This is inevitalbe. It still hurts though! 😢

​​​
What else is inevitable.... the rates going down .⬇️

This week we saw some glimmers of hope. Rates ended the week slightly lower. The Core Inflation numbers were down, the lowest level in 3 years. The Fed also met, and did NOT do anything, but indicated a restrictive mode, which is a set up for future decrease. Although it’s almost certain we will not see 3 decreases this year as hoped last (Dec), it’s anticipated we could see 1 in the 4 remaining Fed meetings.


There are only 2 reasons the Fed would cut rates:

1. A recession
​(peeps not spending)

2. A crisis
​(like a housing crash- which is not happenting)

The market is anticipating and hoping for the inflationary numbers to continue to decrease, which would indicate less movement in the money supply, and lead to lower rates.

I’ll continue to keep you posted!
