Tips & Tricks
 
 
March is a great time to do a deep clean of your home after the winter months. Start by decluttering and then work your way through each room, cleaning and organizing as you go.
 
1. Change air filters: With spring comes pollen
 
2. Check for leaks: March can bring heavy rainfall, so check your home for any leaks or water damage. 
 
3. Prepare your garden: If you have a garden, March is a good time to prepare it for planting. Remove any weeds or dead plants, till the soil, and add compost or fertilizer.
 
4. Organize your pantry: Take some time to organize your pantry, throwing away any expired or stale food items and reorganizing your shelves.
 
5. Deep clean your carpets: March is a good time to deep clean your carpets to remove any dirt or stains from the winter months.
 
6. Update your decor: Add some spring-inspired decor to your home, such as fresh flowers, pastel accents, or new throw pillows.
 
7. Plan for outdoor activities: March is a great time to plan for outdoor activities like picnics, hikes, and bike rides. Take some time to clean and organize your outdoor gear, so you're ready to go when the weather warms up.

Chris Brown is originally from Paris, TX and has resided in Winnsboro for the past 3 years. The art scene in our wonderful little town is what drew him in. He particularly loved the Fine Art & Wine Festival that is held annually in November.

Chris has some very exciting things planned for 2023 and we can't wait for you to get this inside scoop!

KEEPING CURRENT MATTERS
YOUR MONTHLY REAL ESTATE & MORTGAGE UPDATE
 
How to Navigate Mortgage Rates
 
What You Should Know About Mortgage Rates
 
After steadily falling over the winter, mortgage rates have started to rise in recent weeks. This is concerning to some potential homebuyers as the combination of higher mortgage rates and higher prices have made homes less affordable. So, if you’re planning to purchase a home this year, you too may be wondering if now’s the right time to buy or if you should hold off on your search until rates come back down.
 
The recent uptick in rates has been driven by what’s happening with inflation. Joel Kan, Vice President and Deputy Chief Economist at the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), explains:
“Mortgage rates increased across the board last week, pushed higher by market expectations that inflation will persist, thus requiring the Federal Reserve to keep monetary policy restrictive for a longer time.”
 
The most recent weekly average 30-year fixed mortgage rate reported by Freddie Mac is 6.5%. It’s the third week in a row that rates have increased and puts them at the highest point they’ve been this year

Your Realtor Note
 
Advice for Home Shoppers
 
If you’re thinking about pausing your home search because rates have started to go up again, you may want to reconsider. This could actually be an opportunity to buy the home you’ve been searching for. According to the MBA, mortgage applications declined by 13.3% in just one week, so it appears the rise in mortgage rates is leading some potential homebuyers to pull back on their search for a new home.
 
So, what does that mean for you? If you stay the course, you’ll likely face less competition among other buyers when you’re looking for a home. This is welcome relief in a market that has so few homes for sale.
Bottom Line
Over the last few weeks, mortgage rates have risen. But that doesn’t mean you should delay your plans to buy a home. In fact, it could mean the opposite if you want to take advantage of less buyer competition. Let’s connect today to explore the options in our local market.
