<h1>Why You Never See Townhouse That actually Works</h1>

That version is not wrong, exactly. It is just incomplete.</p>
<p>Home prices at the national level have stayed stubbornly high even as financing costs doubled in under two years. The reason is supply. The locked-in effect has kept available inventory at historically low levels in most markets, which means the correction that many analysts were expecting simply did not materialize the way the data suggested it should.</p>
<p>Here is what that creates for someone with solid credit and a real pre-approval in hand: less competition than you would have faced in 2021 or 2022. The panic buyers are gone. The buyers who showed up with letters waiving inspections and offering a hundred thousand over asking have mostly sat back down. What remains is a more functional market, even if it is not a cheap one.</p>

A score of 760 or above typically qualifies for the best rate tier most lenders offer. If your score has room to improve, talk to your loan officer about specific steps to raise it before you apply formally.</p>
