Should You Buy Now or Wait?

Is Now a Good Time to Buy?

Media headlines have done us a disservice when it comes to real estate and the housing market. They've convinced consumers that it's a bad time to buy, regardless of their personal economy. The truth is, this is going to be different for every individual - for many in the country right now, it's the perfect time for them to buy.

Here's a few things to consider as we continue into a dropping-rate environment:

  • Supply & demand effects home prices, meaning home prices will increase as rates drop and more consumers enter the market
  • If you buy now when there's less competition, you have the ability to refinance down the road in order to get a lower home price now, and the lower rate that you're hoping for
  • Trying to time the real estate market is nearly impossible - getting into the market and letting your asset appreciate as you build equity is more valuable than a .25 lower rate, as long as you're in a position to be able to buy right now

As always, reach out if you have any questions or want to talk about what buying in this market would look like for you!
