It wasn't until the Fed announced a change of course in their policy decisions early this year that we knew we could see rates flatten out or begin to fall.&nbsp;</span><br /> <span style="font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;">All things considered, <b>conditions are very favorable at this moment, and it’s a great time to get into the market.&nbsp;&nbsp;</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;">Whether you’re considering buying or refinancing, go ahead and give Tom a call at 602-791-5861.
