Home Prices Are Also Rising: What Can I Do?
When thinking about your mortgage rate, itโs also important to consider whatโs happening to housing prices. Data from Realtor.com found the median U.S. home listing price was $405,000 in March, the first time itโs ever been over $400,000. Experts say the big uptick in prices is due to a mismatch between supply and demand: There are a lot of people trying to buy houses, and there arenโt enough houses to go around. That means you probably shouldnโt wait around and hope for the market to crash. โI donโt think buyers should be betting on any really significant price declines,โ Robert Dietz, chief economist at the National Association of Home Builders, told us.
What you can do is think beyond just the mortgage rate. Be sure youโre in a good position to buy a house. โThe most important thing that any would-be homebuyer should do is take stock of where they are personally,โ said Channel. โDo I have enough cash to make my mortgage payments, to put money down on a down payment? Is my credit score good?โ Then, be patient and be creative with your home search. Donโt rush for the first houses you see, he says. Look in unexpected places. One possibility is the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Developmentโs page of foreclosed homes. โThe more you plan and the more diligent you are before you really even start going out house hunting actively, the easier it is to navigate a housing market that is as hot and fast as this one,โ Channel says.
Itโs more important than ever to shop around for a mortgage when youโre in the market for a house, said Channel. When rates arenโt going up as dramatically as they are now, quotes from different lenders can regularly vary by half a percentage point. With the market moving so quickly, that could be even higher.
