The Shutdown Is Over—But Your Window Is Still Wide Open
With the government shutdown officially over, the markets reacted… and then settled right back into the same range we’ve been in for weeks. Rates didn’t spike, affordability didn’t change, and buyers still have a clear opportunity going into the holidays.
Here’s the key: Most buyers hit pause in November. But the window created by ~6% rates hasn’t closed.

You’re not behind. You’re early.
Happy House Hunting!
