If you bought a home in the last 18 months, chances are your interest rate wasn’t your favorite part of the deal.
Maybe you used a temporary buydown. Maybe you accepted a higher rate just to win the house. Maybe you’ve been waiting (impatiently) for the market to shift.
Good news: that moment is coming — and for some, it’s already here.
We’re now entering what I call Phase Two of Homeownership:
Buying got you in. Refinancing can help you stay ahead.
Here’s how current clients are setting themselves up:
✅ Watching for rate dips to lock in long-term savings
✅ Refinancing out of temporary buydown structures
✅ Replacing FHA loans with conventional (no MI = big savings)
✅ Cashing out equity to consolidate debt or invest
Refinancing isn't just about saving money — it's about restructuring your financial foundation.
A high-rate loan was your “entry strategy.” But your wealth strategy starts now.
If you're sitting on equity or just wondering when to make a move, let's talk. The market's shifting — and you deserve a plan for Phase Two.
