ARE MORTGAGE RATES FINALLY FALLING?

The Federal Reserve is expected to cut its key interest rate this month. If you’re in the market for a new home or looking to refinance, you probably have questions about what that means for you. 

How will the Fed cut affect mortgage interest rates? Should I wait for mortgage interest rates to drop lower? Is the winter a good time to buy a home? 

Reach out to Affinity’s Mortgage Expert, Todd Darland (NMLS #501999) to get all your questions answered and explore the many options offered by Affinity.

Affinity is your home for home loans.

Todd Darland is here to help with any and all home loan needs you may have.
