QUOTES

• “The numbers should be lower this time of year but the opposite effect is happening because of rising interest rates. Inventory is up. Which means more choices for buyers.” -Ed Billings [04:01]

• “Date the rate. Interest rates go up really fast and come down really slowly. So having a creative way like an adjustable mortgage gives you the opportunity to allow those rates to come down slowly and still be in a good position when you are buying.” -Jefi Moultrie [09:11]
