Are you ready to start looking for a new Lake Havasu home? I suggest getting your financing in place before you start looking. Currently, the federal interest rate sits between 1-1.25%. Experts believe we may see it hit 2% by the end of the year. What does this mean for home buyers? Typically, an increase in the federal interest rate moves mortgage rates up as well. The average rate for a 30-year mortgage sits at 4.125%. When you’re ready to start your Lake Havasu home search, give me a call at (928) 208-5184. I’ll be happy to help.
