# Sanchia Moore > Real Estate Consultant ## Posts - [How Big Purchases Can Derail Your Mortgage Approval](https://sanchiamoore.com/how-big-purchases-can-derail-your-mortgage-approval/): Buying a home is one of the most exciting financial milestones in life. After months of searching for the perfect property, it can be tempting to celebrate by purchasing a new car, financing a living room set, or opening a new credit card for home improvements. While these purchases may seem harmless, they can significantly impact your ability to qualify for a mortgage. One of the most common reasons buyers experience delays, reduced loan approvals, or even mortgage denials is because they take on new debt during the home buying process. Understanding how lenders evaluate your finances can help you avoid […] - [Is There Really a Best Time to Buy?](https://sanchiamoore.com/is-there-really-a-best-time-to-buy/): One of the questions I hear most often from buyers is, “Should I wait?” Should I wait for interest rates to come down? Should I wait until home prices drop? Should I wait until winter? Should I just wait another six months? I completely understand why people ask. Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make, and no one wants to feel like they bought at the wrong time. My answer is probably not what most people expect. There can absolutely be better times to negotiate, but there is no magic month that is right for […] - [Banana Bread with Oat, Prune & Walnut](https://sanchiamoore.com/banana-bread-with-oat-prune-walnut/): A wholesome homemade recipe from my kitchen There is something comforting about the aroma of fresh banana bread filling my home on Sundays.

Throughout much of 2026, 30-year mortgage rates have remained in the mid-6% range. While that is lower than some of the highest rates seen in recent years, it is still significantly higher than the historically low rates many homeowners locked in during 2020 and 2021. As a result, today’s market is moving at a different pace. For buyers, higher interest rates mean higher monthly mortgage payments. Even a small increase in interest rates can […] ## Pages - [New Construction](https://sanchiamoore.com/new-construction/): Buying new construction is a different process than buying a resale home, and it comes with its own opportunities and pitfalls.
