Lock or Wait?
One honest sentence from me each week: "lock now" or "still watching." No hedging. No generic analysis. Just my read on the Austin market.
Sample Friday Rate Update
Austin Rate Watch — Week of March 28
From: Adam Styer <adam@thestyerteam.com> · Subject: Austin Rate Watch — this week's numbers
"My take: rates are sticky near 7%. If you're closing in 30 days, lock now. If you're 60+ days out, floating still makes sense — but set a lock trigger at 6.75%." — Adam
Rates above are illustrative examples. Actual rates vary based on credit score, loan amount, and property type. APR shown for illustration only.
Why get rates from a broker instead of a bank
Banks give you one rate. Their rate. I work with 40+ wholesale lenders — which means I shop your loan and bring you the best combination of rate, fees, and terms.
Wholesale rates are generally lower than retail bank rates because there's no branch overhead baked in. I make my margin from the lender — not from marking up your rate.
The Rate Watch isn't a sales funnel. It's how I show up for Austin buyers who are paying attention. When you're ready to lock — I'll be the first call you want to make.
