Are You Buying a Home in Boring Oregon?
Buying a home starts with one simple step: getting pre-approved for a mortgage. Knowing your numbers upfront gives you a clear budget, strengthens your offer, and helps you move quickly when you find the right home.
​
Todd Davidson, Executive Loan Officer with Rocket Mortgage Local, helps buyers secure the best financing options for their purchase. Right now, Rocket is offering a special lender-paid 1% rate reduction for the first year on purchase loans.
​
With interest rates recently improving, some buyers have been able to start with first-year rates under 5%, which can mean saving up to $500 per month during that first year. It’s a great way to ease into homeownership and keep more money in your pocket while you settle into your new home.
Whether you're planning to buy in the next few months or sometime in the next year, getting pre-approved now can help you understand your options and be ready when the right home comes along.
