I’m going to wait until interest rates drop before I purchase a new home

Internal voice ...

“I’m going to wait until interest rates drop before I purchase a new home”… 
Sound familiar? 

This is probably something you have heard or even maybe said to yourself over the last few years, right?

Here is the reality, housing prices have risen every year for the last 11 years, and more than likely will continue to rise.

In 2021 alone, housing prices increased by a jaw dropping 18 percent, the highest on record. Even last year they still rose on average, 2.88% and that’s WITH interest rates on the rise.

Truth is, if you keep waiting for interest rates to decrease, if the last 11 years say anything… sure, you may have a lower interest rate but that won’t matter much when you’re spending (on average) 2.88% more on the cost of that house.

In conclusion, start getting ready now!
So, look for the right opportunity to take the first step in Home Loan Readiness (such as this article!), you can always refinance later when rates drop!

Get ahead of all those waiting, hoping and wishing for things to change and get ready NOW.

REMEMBER: Marry the home, date the rate, divorce the landlord!

As a homebuyer, understanding this relationship can help you make informed decisions about buying a home, and with the prediction of rates dropping this year, it’s crucial to have a leg up in the race to become a homeowner.
