What is a HELOC?

A HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) is a type of loan that allows a homeowner to borrow against the equity in their home.

The borrower can use the money for whatever they choose and the interest rate is usually lower than other types of loans.

The loan is secured by the home, so if the borrower can’t make payments, the lender can take the house.

Sometimes a Home Equity Loan is a better choice for the borrower. Talk to your lender to find out more.

šŸ” Good People, Great Homes!

😱 Mortgage rates are expected to settle around 6.0 😱 Mortgage rates are expected to settle around 6.0–6.4% in 2026, according to NAR, Fannie Mae, and other major forecasters. The Federal Reserve's policy path will play a key role in how quickly rates decline. šŸ“‰ā£
⁣
What this means for the market:⁣
⁣
šŸ“ Most forecasts cluster in the low-to-mid 6% range⁣
šŸ“ Represents modest improvement from 2025⁣
šŸ“ NAR estimates a drop to 6% could unlock 5.5 million additional buyers⁣
šŸ“ Rates below 3% are unlikely to return in the near term⁣
⁣
For buyers planning purchases in 2026, these levels provide a more realistic framework—with refinancing remaining an option if rates fall further in later years.⁣

It’s a Buyer-Friendly Market in Many Areas—Here’s It’s a Buyer-Friendly Market in Many Areas—Here’s What That Means for You šŸ 
Good news for U.S. homebuyers: recent market data shows more listings hitting the market and homes taking a bit longer to sell in a lot of metros. That shifts a little more leverage back to buyers.
What does that mean for you?
šŸ”¹ More homes to pick from – you’re not limited to 2–3 options
šŸ”¹ Less buyer competition – fewer intense bidding wars in many areas
šŸ”¹ More negotiating power – you can ask for repairs, closing cost help, or better terms
Pro Tip: In a buyer-leaning market, don’t be afraid to negotiate. Sellers know buyers have options right now.
