Your Dream Home is Within Reach
Rates Can Change—So Can Your Loan: In today’s market, many hopeful homebuyers are putting their dreams on hold, waiting for mortgage rates to decline. It’s understandable, after all, no one wants to pay more in interest than they have to. But what if you didn’t have to wait? At Coloramo, we believe you shouldn’t postpone your future. With competitive rates for the current environment and flexible refinancing options down the road, you can secure your dream home now rather than sitting on the sidelines. While mortgage rates have climbed in recent years, they are always fluctuating. Historically, they go through cycles of rising and falling. If you wait for rates to drop, you could miss out on the perfect home in the meantime. Inventory is already tight, and waiting could mean facing stiffer competition and potentially inflated prices once rates improve. Instead of holding off, consider this: you can buy now and refinance later when rates become more favorable. This strategy allows you to start building equity in your home immediately, rather than waiting for the “perfect” conditions that may never come.
For example, imagine you find your dream home today at $350,000. If you hold off and wait for rates to drop, there’s a chance that by the time they do, the home’s value could increase by 5-10%. Now, you’re paying more for the same house—even with a slightly lower interest rate. By purchasing now, you lock in the current price and can always refinance later to secure a better rate.
Take Advantage of Rate Buydown Options: One smart strategy to make homeownership more affordable in today’s market is through rate buydowns. With this option, you pay a little more upfront to reduce your mortgage interest rate, lowering your monthly payment. This can give you more breathing room in your budget without having to delay your homeownership goals. The cost of the buydown is often minimal compared to the potential savings over time. Plus, if you choose to refinance later, you’ll still have benefited from the lower monthly payments in the meantime.
For example, let’s say your mortgage rate is 7%, but you opt for a buydown that lowers your rate to 6% for the first two years. On a $300,000 loan, that could mean saving hundreds of dollars per month on your payment. Those savings could be put toward home improvements, building your emergency fund, or even enjoying your new neighborhood.

Beyond securing your dream home, buying now allows you to:
Start building equity sooner rather than later, putting your monthly payments toward ownership rather than rent.
Avoid rising home prices as demand increases when rates inevitably drop.
Achieve personal milestones on your own timeline, rather than putting your life on hold for unpredictable market shifts.
Real Buyers Are Moving Forward: You’re not alone in considering this approach. The Wall Street Journal recently profiled several homebuyers who took the leap and closed on homes despite high interest rates and low housing inventory. Their decision to prioritize their life goals over market uncertainty is becoming more common. While it’s true that not everyone can enter the housing market under current conditions, those who can make it work are choosing to move forward rather than waiting for the elusive “perfect” rate. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, mortgage purchase applications were up 7% last week compared to the same time last year. This signals that more buyers are recognizing the long-term benefits of acting now, rather than waiting for market conditions to align perfectly. As one homebuyer told the WSJ: “You can’t pause your life for what rates are going to do” (The Wall Street Journal on March 29, 2025).
