Is Your Low Interest Rate Keeping You Stuck?

You love your home. You love your low mortgage rate even more.
But lately, you’ve been wondering—what if this house no longer fits your life?

As a real estate and mortgage broker with over 20 years of experience in Southern California, I’ve helped countless homeowners wrestle with this same question:
Should I stay for the low rate, or move to a home that better suits my lifestyle?

At Lumina Real Estate & Lending, we understand—this isn’t just about numbers. It’s about your life, your family, and your future.

The Southern California Real Estate Dilemma

With today’s higher interest rates, many homeowners in Temecula, San Diego, and across Southern California feel "locked in." But ask yourself:

• Is your current mortgage rate worth giving up a better quality of life?

• Could a new home provide more space, convenience, or joy?

• Will staying put serve your long-term goals?

5 Valid Reasons to Move—Even with a Higher Interest Rate

1. Growing Family
Is your Temecula starter home getting tight? Upsizing might be the right call.

2. New Career Opportunities
A better job or a shorter commute may make relocating worth it.

3. Being Closer to Family
Whether it’s aging parents in LA or grandkids in San Diego—being near loved ones matters.

4. Lifestyle Upgrades
Imagine waking up to vineyard views or living steps from Temecula’s wine country or LA’s cultural scene.

5. Retirement or Downsizing
Life changes—your home should change with it. A more manageable space in a peaceful area might be ideal.
