Ready to Buy Your First Home or Next Home?

Mortgage Home Purchase Without the Hassle!

Need financing options on a home, or other real estate? Choosing a purchase loan product that matches your goals and making sure you get a favorable rate doesn’t have to be stressful!


We’re here to make the home loan process easier, with tools and knowledge that will help guide you along the way, starting with a pre−approval letter request.


We’ll help you clearly see differences between loan programs, allowing you to choose the right one for you, whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or a repeat buyer.

Here’s how we find out what your purchase power will be:

  • Complete our simple mortgage pre-approval letter request
  • Receive options based on your unique criteria and scenario
  • Compare mortgage interest rates and terms
  • Choose the offer that best fits your needs

Do I Qualify?

To qualify for a mortgage, lenders typically require that you have a debt-to-income ratio of “43/49.” This means that no more than 43% of your total monthly income (from all sources, before taxes) can go toward your new mortgage payment, and no more than 49.99% of your monthly income can go toward your total monthly debt (including your mortgage payment). VA and FHA loans even allow for higher debt ratios on a case by case basis.

  • FHA, VA & USDA Loans
  • Conforming Loans
  • Jumbo & Super Jumbo Loans
  • Fixed-Rate Mortgage
  • Terms from 5 to 30 Years
  • Adjustable-Rates Mortgage (ARM)

Forecast Calls for More Transaction and Cap Rate Stabilization!

September 26, 20232 min read

Forecast Calls for More Transaction and Cap Rate Stabilization!

 

Forecasts are helpful, but their accuracy is ultimately what counts. CBRE conducted a review of its forecasts made at the beginning of the year and has updated its outlook through year-end and into 2024. Overall, the company has accurately predicted the trends in the CRE capital markets, with a few exceptions.

One notable change is the prediction regarding the timing of a recession. Due to the resilient economy and persistent inflation, CBRE now forecasts that if a recession occurs, it will happen in late 2023 or the first quarter of 2024, one quarter later than originally anticipated. A recession may lead to a mild increase in unemployment, reaching about 5%. Additionally, higher interest rates and the restart of student loan payments could negatively impact growth in the second half of this year. CBRE has adjusted its GDP growth forecast for 2023 upward to 0.6% and downward for 2024 to 1.3%.

Investors have been cautious in their transactions this year, with volume down by 60% year-over-year in the second quarter. Uncertainty surrounding interest rates, the economic outlook, and tighter credit conditions are expected to continue hindering deal flow. However, CBRE predicts that more stable conditions will emerge before year-end, leading to an increase in investment activity.

Cap rates have increased by approximately 125 basis points for most property types, but variations exist by market, with office assets experiencing a closer to 200 basis point increase. By early 2024, cap rate stabilization is expected for all property types, except for offices, which will stabilize by the middle of next year.

Investment volume is forecasted to decline by 37% year-over-year this year, but is expected to increase by 15% next year due to greater certainty about interest rates and a more positive economic outlook that supports stronger purchasing activity.

Lastly, an interest rate cut is not expected until early 2024, and the 10-year Treasury rate is projected to end this year at 3.8%, before falling closer to 3% late next year.
