E053: With interest rates on the rise, is now a good time to buy?

In this episode, Nicole Saunches speaks with Alexa Price of the Price Mortgage Group at Go Mortgage.  Born and raised in Tarpon Springs, Florida, Alexa was raised in a family with deep roots in the real estate industry.  She has been in the mortgage industry since 1995 and has a wealth of knowledge.  Alexa and the Price Mortgage Group are backed by Go Mortgage, an innovative mortgage company that offers a variety of tools. As the market conditions shift from an incredibly fast-paced market towards a normal market following the pandemic, Nicole and Alexa discuss whether or not it is still a good time to buy, current opportunities for buyers in the market as well as challenges that buyers are facing in this market.   Alexa also shares why it is important to have an in-depth consultation with your lender prior to obtaining your pre-approval so buyers can be confident with their pre-approval and have a good understanding of all of the elements of the transaction, including the estimated mortgage, closing costs and pre-paids (such as property taxes and insurance).  She also discusses why the credit scores consumers see when they check their credit scores are almost always different from a consumer's score when their mortgage lender runs their credit for the loan application. Alexa also speaks about what differentiates the Price Mortgage Group and Go Mortgage from other lenders.  If you would like to speak with Alexa, you can call or text her at 727-409-3869 or you can visit her website here.
