With the mortgage market projected to grow 28.5% to $2.3 trillion by 2025, it’s a great time to consider getting pre-approved. This growth opens up big opportunities for both homebuyers and sellers, and The CL Team - NEO Home Loans is ready to help you make the most of it.

Our team offers insider knowledge and expert guidance, making the mortgage process easier and helping you navigate today’s competitive market. Here are some strategies and tips to give you an edge:

The Mortgage Market Shift

Major changes are on the horizon. Home loans are projected to increase by 13% next year, reaching $1.45 trillion. With rates expected to drop to around 5.9%, it’s an ideal time to buy or refinance. If you’ve been considering stepping into the market, this could be your moment.

Getting Ahead: Expert Tips

  • Lock in Lower Rates: Current rates are near 6%, so securing a rate now could save you significant money over time.
  • Explore Refinancing Options: Refinancing could mean a lower monthly payment or cashing out some of your home’s value for other goals.
  • New Home Opportunities: With more homes for sale, you have options! Whether it’s your first home or an upgrade, the market is opening up.
  • First-Time Buyer Advantages: First-time buyers can find special deals and new homes suited to their needs—don’t miss out!
