VIP Mortgage, Inc. - Longview/Kelso

The Fed left policy rates unchanged for the fifth consecutive time at their March meeting. Mortgage rates can move (up or down) in anticipation of future Fed action and in response to economic events, so working ahead of Fed action can make sense. If you are in need of home financing, we have programs that can work in the framework of today's market. Please let me know if I can help. Kelso is an Equal Housing Lender.

You may be able to borrow more for less! The amount that can be borrowed through a standard home loan is expected to rise by more than 3% to $750K for 2024, and even more in certain high-cost areas. That means you may have more flexibility and possibly get lower rates to purchase or refi in a higher price range than before. Check out the link to find the current limit for your county (to be updated with the formal announcement in November). Questions? Please comment below or reach out through your preferred channel. Kelso is an Equal Housing Lender.

Inflation's down. Is it time to make a move? When the Consumer Price Index showed prices were unchanged for the month of October, mortgage rates immediately fell. Markets are likely to remain volatile, though, as investors try to anticipate the Fed's next move on rates. If you've been waiting to purchase, refi or access cash from equity, it's a good time to take a closer look. I'm here to help. Kelso is an Equal Housing Lender.

With the most significant labor force participation rate of any demographic in the last twenty years and the median household income increasing nearly 50 percent since 2012, the Hispanic community has been contributing the majority of growth in homeownership (Hispanic Executive).

With this increase in wealth, the Hispanic community is leading the charge when it comes to homeownership.
