Mortgage rates dipped below 6% last week for the first time since 2022 — a notable shift as the spring homebuying season begins.
While the housing market has remained cautious over the past few years, sustained movement below 6% could encourage more buyers and sellers to re-enter the market. Even modest rate changes can impact affordability, purchasing power, and overall activity.
For homeowners considering listing — or buyers evaluating their next move — preparation remains key. Rate...
Effective March 1, 2026, FinCEN will require new national reporting for certain residential real estate transactions involving LLCs and trusts.
These rules are designed to increase transparency and apply only to specific types of transactions. Town Title understands when reporting is required, who must report, and what information is needed—and we are prepared to handle these filings efficiently.
We will be utilizing ClosingLock to securely collect the necessary private information when applicable, ensuring compliance while protecting client...
As real estate transactions continue to rely on digital communication, cybersecurity remains an important consideration for everyone involved in a closing.
Wire fraud, email impersonation, and unauthorized changes to wiring instructions are risks that require constant awareness and verification. Protecting sensitive information and ensuring secure communication helps safeguard transactions and the people behind them.
At every stage of a deal, confirming information through trusted channels and maintaining clear, verified communication can make a meaningful difference. Awareness and...

From due diligence and documentation to timing and approvals, each step plays a critical role in keeping deals on track.
At Town Title, much of our work happens long before closing day. When the groundwork is done right, closings move...
A 'present owner search' allows realtors and interested parties to review what documents are currently on record—and identify potential clouds on title—before a contract is signed. Having this information early can help streamline the transaction, flag issues in advance, and create a smoother path forward.
At Town Title, proactive due diligence is one of the ways we help support informed decisions from the very beginning....
After a period of volatility, the conversation around interest rates is beginning to shift from when cuts happen to where rates may ultimately settle.
Many economists now expect mortgage rates to gradually trend lower into 2026, though progress is likely to be measured—not immediate. Inflation, economic data, and broader market conditions will continue to influence the pace of change.
For buyers, sellers, and lenders, this means planning matters more than timing. Market conditions rarely shift all at...

The Federal Reserve has lowered its benchmark rate by 25 basis points, bringing the target range down to 3.50%–3.75% — the third rate cut of 2025. 
For buyers, lenders, and real-estate professionals, this reduction could influence borrowing costs and transaction activity in the months ahead. At Town Title Agency, we’re watching these shifts closely and are ready to support you through any changes.
