    Let's Look at the Numbers: Waiting on Rates, Negotiating Power and Holiday Selling with Danny Espinoza

    Ryan J. Orr of Fidelity National Title sits down with mortgage broker Danny Espinoza of All Trails Mortgage in Upland to swap "I think" for "let's look at the numbers." They tackle the questions buyers and sellers keep asking right now: should I wait for rates to drop, how much negotiating power do buyers really have, and should I sell during the holidays or wait until spring. Danny explains why the payment matters more than chasing a rate, busts the 20 percent down myth, and shows how seller credits and buydowns can beat a price reduction, while Ryan walks through local Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, Fontana and Riverside County data, the new Zone Zero fire rules and the Fidelity agent tools that help you have these conversations.
