A lot of buyers are sitting on the sidelines right now waiting for interest rates to come down.

But what if waiting is actually costing you more than the rate ever will?

In this episode, Loan Caddy William Ware breaks down the difference between watching rates and having a real strategy. We talk about why rate headlines create hesitation, how competition changes when rates move, and why focusing only on monthly payment can hide the true cost of waiting.

You will learn:

• Why rates often move faster than buyers can react

• How lower rates do not always mean lower home prices

• The real cost of waiting beyond just the interest rate

• When waiting does make sense and when it does not

• How refinancing fits into a smart long term plan

This is not about rushing into a purchase or trying to time the market perfectly.
It is about making a clear and confident decision based on your situation, not fear driven headlines.

If you are trying to decide whether now is the right move, this episode will help you think like a pro and play the conditions in front of you.

Need a plan instead of a rate quote?
That is exactly what we help with.
