While you're waiting for interest rates to go down, thousands of other buyers are too, so as soon as they do prices start skyrocketing again from all that pent-up demand. No one is certain what's going to happen in 3, 6, 12 months or longer.
As the Fed gets better control over inflation and we start to see rates stabilize towards the second half of the year, the buyer market will become more saturated, and prices will continue to rise. With home prices certain to increase as the market improves, the downpayment parameters for your purchase keep moving and there is no guarantee that tomorrow’s conditions will be that much better overall than today’s.
The best time to buy is when you have found a home that you love, that meets your family’s needs, and that you can afford. Connect with our lenders today to strategize how to make the most out of your home purchase in today’s market.
