In this episode of the Mortgage 101 podcast, Manley and Anthony urge home buyers to get "Netflix and Lock" ready as mortgage rates are set to drop, warning that waiting could lead to soaring home prices and losing out to pre-approved competitors in a fast-moving housing market.

Comparing market timing to waiting for cheaper gas with an empty tank, they stress that delaying risks multiple offers and seller leverage, leaving unprepared buyers binging Zillow while others claim their dream home. "Netflix and Lock" is a financial strategy—prep now with a pre-approval to win later and avoid regret.
