Best Time to Buy?
I am working on my credit at the moment. I was pre-approved for $390k in June based on my FICO 608 at the time. Purchase price for the homes I am looking at is $499 average, so I know there is some work I can do to improve. But I am worried that with the way rates are headed, I might have an issue getting approved later due to price increases on the homes Im looking at. Is this a valid concern? Should I settle for the pre-approval and look at a home in that rage NOW? Thanks for the advice. by kreal_talknation524 from Sacramento, California. Jul 25th 2018

You should absolutely be looking at what you can buy now.. If it takes you 4 months to improve your credit scores, which might net you 1/4% reduction in rate, vs. overall market going up 1/5% and housing prices rising at the same time.. the wait can only cost you more.. Let me know if I can help.. I'm a preferred Lender with California and Arizona being my primary markets.
