When you see a house that’s been sitting on the market for a while, the reaction is almost automatic.

You May Not Want To Skip Over That House That’s Been Sitting on the Market

In today’s housing market, it’s important to do whatever you can to make your offer stand out.

That doesn’t have to mean offering way above your budget or making all sorts of concessions you’re not comfortable with.

Instead, get a Platinum Credit Approval from Waterstone Mortgage. 💡 It’s just like a regular pre-approval, but with a full credit underwrite upfront — which helps sellers know your offer is serious, and is not likely to fall through.

“Should I wait?”

It’s the question on many homebuyers’ minds.

Here’s the interesting part: mortgage rates may be bouncing around a bit, but they’re still near a 3-year low. Behind the scenes, the market is also starting to breathe a little.

Here’s what that looks like:
☑️ Inventory improving in many markets
☑️ Less buyer frenzy
☑️ More breathing room to make smart decisions

If you want honest answers and a game plan that fits you, send a message and let’s talk.

If you’re one of the thousands of homebuyers waiting for rates to fall, you should know it’s already happening.

Mortgage Rates Recently Hit a 3-Year Low. Here’s Why That’s Still a Big Deal.

Did you know you have the option to REDUCE your interest rate for the first few years of your mortgage?

This example features a 3-2-1 buydown, but Waterstone Mortgage also offers 2-1 and 1-0 buydown options.

That’s up to 3 years of savings — so you can put your money toward other expenses that come along with owning a new home.

Home Updates That Actually Pay You Back When You Sell

5.0 star review received on Experience.com for Joshua Bucio by Susan E L - I enjoyed every expert on your dynamic team! Great patience and kindness was shown in view of my very trying circumstances and unfamiliarity with the the loan process! Of course- divorce in later life is rarely a pleasant legal undertaking!
I would only encourage the use of more concise communications however; less industry jargon- as in my case- the cash-back expectation fell short and had not been openly acknowledged until a day before the loan closed. All in all- your help is most appreciated!
