I often hear from clients who wonder whether it\u2019s wiser to wait for mortgage rates to drop, hoping for a better deal down the line. However, as a REALTOR\u00ae, I\u2019ve seen that trying to time the market rarely works out as planned. When rates eventually fall, it\u2019s common to see a surge of buyers re-enter the market, which can lead to heightened competition and rising prices. My approach is always to put your needs and goals first\u2014helping you weigh today\u2019s borrowing costs against the very real possibility of stronger competition tomorrow. With experience across residential sales, new construction, and investment properties, I\u2019m here to help you make sense of your options, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Navigating the world of starter homes in today\u2019s market feels a bit like threading a needle\u2014especially for first-time buyers in Central Ohio.
