The cost of waiting for mortgage rates to go down.

Mortgage rates have increased significantly in recent weeks. And that may mean you have questions about what this means for you if you're planning to buy a home. Here's some information that can help you make an informed decision when you set your homebuying plans.

The Impact of Rising Mortgage Rates
As mortgage rates rise, they impact your purchasing power by raising the cost of buying a home and limiting how much you can comfortably afford. Here's how it works.

Let's assume you want to buy a $400,000 home (the median-priced home according to the National Association of Realtors is $389,500). If you're trying to shop at that price point and keep your monthly payment about $2,500-2,600 or below, here's how your purchasing power can change as mortgage rates climb (see chart below). The red shows payments above that threshold and the green indicates a payment within your target range.

Asthe chart shows, as rates go up, the amount you can afford to borrow decreases and that may mean you have to look at homes at a different price point. That's why it's important to work with a real estate advisor to understand how mortgage rates impact your monthly mortgage payment at various home loan amounts.

Are Mortgage Rates Going To Go Down?
The rise in mortgage rates and the resulting decrease in purchasing power may leave you wondering if you should wait for rates to go down before making your purchase. Realtor.com says this about where rates could go from here:

Many homebuyers likely winced . . . upon hearing that the Federal Reserve yet again boosted its short-term interest rates by three-quarters of a percentage point—a move that's pushing mortgage rates through the roof. And the already high rates are just going to get higher.

So, if you're waiting for mortgage rates to drop, you may be waiting for a while as the Federal Reserve works to get inflation under control.

And if you're considering renting as your alternative while you wait it out, remember that's going to get more expensive with time too. As Nadia Evangelou, Senior Economist and Director of Forecasting at the National Association of Realtors (NAR), says:

There is no doubt that these higher rates hurt housing affordability. Nevertheless, apart from borrowing costs, rents additionally rose at their highest pace in nearly four decades.

Basically, it is true that it costs more to buy a home today than it did last year, but the same is true for renting. This means, either way, you're going to be paying more. The difference is, with homeownership, you're also gaining equity over time which will help grow your net worth. The question now becomes: what makes more sense for you?

Bottom Line
Each person's situation is unique. To make the best decision for you, let’s connect to explore your options.

Owning a home is a major financial milestone and an achievement to take pride in. One major reason: the equity you build as a homeowner gives your net worth a big boost. And with high inflation right now, the link between owning your home and building your wealth is especially important.
