7. 2023 – 7.36% (As of October 11)
Today’s mortgage rates are high, at 7.36%. This current challenge presents an opportunity for realtors to showcase the long-term value of homeownership and explore financial options to mitigate the impact of high-interest rates. It would be better to be in a home paying off your investment than paying rent to someone else’s investment.
In my opinion, the rates are not high enough to not purchase a home.
For Montana Homebuyers, Local Banking is the Way to Go
When it comes to shopping for a home in Montana, I can’t stress enough how important choosing a local bank is. One that stands out is Stockman Bank. You can find them them here.
For North Dakota, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Arizona, I highly recommend First International Bank and Trust. You can find them here. Not only do they have a long-standing reputation for excellent customer service, but their rates are also consistently hard to beat.
Please let us know if you have any local recommendations or experiences to share.
