Freddie Mac's PMMS Report shows mortgage rates have been in a tight range. NOTE: This post is a correction from what I posted this morning (before this week's data was added). mortgageporter.com/2025/12/fred...

Freddie Mac's PMMS shows that rates have been in a tight range. These rates are from last week (ie EXPIRED). If you would like to see CURRENT rates based on your personal scenario, please contact me! mortgageporter.com/2025/12/fred...

The Fed cut the Fed Funds rate by 25 basis points. Please remember this DOES NOT directly impact mortgage rates. mortgageporter.com/2025/12/brea...

In this week's episode of The Mortgage Porter, we cover rates ahead of the Fed Meeting this week, 2026 VA Loan Limits and an update on our next homebuyer's workshop!

Conforming loan limits for 2026 have been announced!
Remember, you don't need a 20% down payment for a conforming mortgage. In fact, there are great low-down payment options available using conforming mortgages.
Questions or thinking about buying a home next year? Let's talk!

Black Friday is a great reminder to look for deals—and one of the smartest “deals” you can snag is refinancing your mortgage.
Curious about lowering your rate, reducing your payment, or tapping equity for home improvements or debt consolidation--now is the perfect time to explore your options!

I am so happy for my clients (and their kitties) who will be enjoying the holidays in their very own home!

Join me via Zoom for a free, 1-hr workshop that breaks down what it really costs to buy a home. Learn about down payment options, closing costs & how to plan & save for your purchase - even if you don’t have 20% down!

Perfect for first-time or repeat buyers who want to feel confident and prepared.

In just nine months after buying their home, we were able to reduce their interest rate & the mortgage payment!
Are you missing a chance to save money with a payment reduction refi or would you like to take advantage of your home equity to make improvements or pay off high interest debt? Let's talk!

I received this text from a buyer's agent while I was watching the Mariners yesterday. This made my night! 😁

These first time home buyers were very savvy to start the process early with our discovery call and getting fully pre-underwritten so their offer stood out above others who also wanted this lovely Seattle home.
If you are thinking about a new home, even if its months away, lets talk!

This homebuyer workshop is focused on credit and how it impacts buying a home (and more). I hope you can join me! Please be sure to RSVP, grab your lunch and your PC!

Mortgage rates are slightly improved following the weaker than expected jobs data from ADP (which is more reliable than the BLS Jobs Reporlt IMO).

Speaking of jobs... looks like the nominated replacement for the BLS head has been revoked. Stay tuned!

The Fed Cut the funds rate and mortgage rates bumped slightly higher... what's up? Good news = mortgage rates dropped before the Feds announcement this week.

I'm so happy for my clients who just closed on their first home. This backyard is perfect for summertime BBQs, maybe a puppy or a potential ADU. They have plenty of options and they don't have to ask a landlord. 😎

If you're thinking about buying your first home (or even your next home), let's talk!

CONGRATULATIONS to my clients who recently closed on their beautiful dream home! I am so honored to part of this milestone in their lives.
