    00:04

    00:06

    need to use your local realtor why they

    00:14

    gonna tell you all the tips and ideas

    00:15

    how you can get the best price for your

    00:17

    house they are protecting you a big tech

    00:21

    company comes in and offers you you

    00:23

    don't even know the fees that they're

    00:24

    charging you can't even go online to

    00:26

    find out the fees but they are

    00:28

    exorbitant when you work with a realtor

    00:30

    they work at a fraction of the cost and

    00:33

    they're there to have loyalty a

    00:34

    long-term relationship and to work with

    00:37

    you and the referral business that's how

    00:39

    they operate they're incredible and you

    00:42

    need to use them why am I making this

    00:44

    pitch because we have to keep it in the

    00:45

    community one you want to get the best

    00:48

    price for your home you go to a realtor

    00:50

    not a big tech company this is the

    00:52

    bottom line - if you go to a big tech

    00:55

    company what happens they have their own

    00:57

    Realtors they have their own title they

    00:59

    have their own everything they don't

    01:01

    need a loan officer they have at all and

    01:04

    what does that do it drains from our

    01:06

    community so what happens when you use a

    01:08

    big tech lower values in the

    01:10

    neighborhood that's correct then all

    01:13

    that's spending four tires and

    01:15

    entertainment and a bar a grocery all

    01:19

    that gets reduced and diminished because

    01:21

    if you go to a big tech company they

    01:24

    take their money to wherever they're

    01:25

    from California Seattle but if we keep

    01:28

    in our community we all get the business

    01:30

    and we all work together

    01:32

    we're 24/7 we're here to serve you and

    01:34

    work with you to make sure you get the

    01:37

    best of everything and it keeps our

    01:39

    community vibrant and alive it keeps

    01:41

    jobs in our community and it keeps you

    01:44

    and getting the highest price for your

    01:46

    home last little tidbit on v8 thought

    01:49

    I'd share this with you va loan you know

    01:51

    you go up to four hundred eighty four

    01:52

    thousand three fifty but starting

    01:54

    January 1st you can go to five six seven

    01:57

    hundred and you could always do that

    01:59

    before but now you can go with zero down

    02:01

    that's correct you don't have to do the

    02:04

    percentage where 700-4 eighty four times

    02:07

    twenty five percent it is a

    02:08

    percent zero that is a great benefit for

    02:11

    the VA loans so the last I like to leave

    02:14

    you with before I wish you all a

    02:15

✅ the principal you borrowed ✅ all interest paid over the years ❌ It does NOT include taxes, insurance, or HOA unless noted. Because longer terms spread payments out more slowly, they lower the monthly payment but massively increase total interest paid. Below is a simple example to show how total payments change by loan term. ✅ Example: $300,000 loan at 6% interest 15-Year Mortgage Monthly payment: ≈ $2,531 Total paid: ≈ $455,682 Total interest: ≈ $155,682 30-Year Mortgage Monthly payment: ≈ $1,799 Total paid: ≈ $647,514 Total interest: ≈ $347,514 40-Year Mortgage Monthly payment: ≈ $1,650 Total paid: ≈ $792,089 Total interest: ≈ $492,089 50-Year Mortgage Monthly payment: ≈ $1,595 Didier Malagies nmls212566 DDA Mortgage nmls32432 Total paid: ≈ $956,140 Total interest: ≈ $656,140 ✅ Summary: Total Payments by Loan Term Term Monthly Payment Total Paid Over Life Total Interest 15-Year ~$2,531 $455,682 $155,682 30-Year ~$1,799 $647,514 $347,514 40-Year ~$1,650 $792,089 $492,089 50-Year ~$1,595 $956,140 $656,140 ✅ Key Takeaway A longer mortgage = lower payment, but the total paid skyrockets because interest accrues for decades longer. tune in and learn https://www.ddamortgage.com/blog didier malagies nmls#212566 dda mortgage nmls#324329

Here are the main types of events that typically cause the 10-year yield to drop: Economic slowdown or recession signs Weak GDP, rising unemployment, or falling consumer spending make investors expect lower future interest rates. Example: A bad jobs report or slowing manufacturing data often pushes yields lower. Federal Reserve rate cuts (or expectations of cuts) If the Fed signals or actually cuts rates, long-term yields like the 10-year typically decline. Markets anticipate lower inflation and slower growth ahead. Financial market stress or geopolitical tension During crises (wars, banking issues, political instability), investors seek safety in Treasuries — pushing prices up and yields down. Lower inflation or deflation data When inflation slows more than expected, the “real” return on Treasuries looks more attractive, bringing yields down. Dovish Fed comments or data suggesting easing ahead Even before actual rate cuts, if the Fed hints it might ease policy, yields often fall in anticipation. tune in and learn https://www.ddamortgage.com/blog didier malagies nmls#212566 dda mortgage nmls#324329
