Change Is Here!

You've seen it in the news, and heard it discussed on the radio, the time for change in rates that effect the purchase or refinance of a home, is here.

On his first day as president, Trump signed a number of executive orders, including one that orders all federal agencies and departments to start finding a way to ease the transition away from Obamacare and replace it with another healthcare plan. - USA TODAY NETWORK

This indefinite cut would have saved home buyers about $29 per month on their mortgage. While that doesn't sound like much, that could have provided a family of four at least a few meals for the week or extra gas in the car to get to and from work.

So, if you've been thinking about buying a home or considering a refinance, my guess is that we've only begun to see the amount of change that is in our foreseeable future and because of that, I say, don't wait.

Earlier this month I posted on 5 habits to create if you were planning to buy this year. Put those on fast-track and get to reducing your debt and add to savings. Here is the link to that post, in case you missed it.

If you're looking to sell and purchase a new home, either to downsize or accommodate your growing family, I also posted some tips to spruce up your home on a budget. You can read that post, here.

Bottom line, my friend, the only thing constant in life is change. Being prepared for this change is the best way to take control and feel empowered to make your own decisions, as they will affect your life on an individual level. Educating yourself on options and taking diligent steps to set yourself up for success, will give you a higher likelihood of a successful and desirable outcome for both yourself and your family.

Happy Tuesday, friend!
