The holidays always seem to shift our spirits towards home. The final $10 million+ listings of the year instantly inspire a turn inward and reinforce the idea that luxury in 2021 is whatever you define it to be. From a legendary Bel Air compound that offers 1920s-era grand-scale entertaining spaces....

✌️Two Reasons Why Waiting To Buy a Home Will Cost You 💰

To determine whether you should buy now or wait another year, you can ask yourself two simple questions:

1. Where Will Home Prices Be a Year from Now?
Three major housing industry entities are projecting ongoing home price appreciation in 2022. 📈📈
Here are their forecasts:
Fannie Mae: 7.4%
Freddie Mac: 7%
Mortgage Bankers Association: 5.1%
According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the median price of a home today is $353,900. Using an average of the three price projections above (6.5%), a home that sold for $353,900 today would be valued at $376,904 at the end of next year. As a prospective buyer, you would therefore pay an additional $23,004 by waiting. 😢

2. Where Will Mortgage Rates Be a Year from Now?
Today, Freddie Mac announced their 30-year fixed mortgage rate was at 3.1%. However, most experts believe mortgage rates will rise as the economy recovers.
Here are the forecasts for the fourth quarter of 2022 by the three major entities mentioned above:
Fannie Mae: 3.4%
Freddie Mac: 3.7%
Mortgage Bankers Association: 4%
That averages out to 3.7% if you include all three forecasts. Any increase in mortgage rates will increase your costs.
What Does It Mean for You if Home Values and Mortgage Rates Increase?
If both variables increase, you’ll pay a lot more in mortgage payments each month. If you purchase a $353,900 home today with a 30-year fixed-rate loan at 3.1% (the current rate from Freddie Mac) after making a 10% down payment. Your monthly mortgage payment would be approximately $1,360.
That same home one year from now could cost $376,904, and the mortgage rate could be 3.7% (based on the industry forecasts mentioned above). Your monthly mortgage payment after putting down 10%, would be approximately $1,561. The difference in your monthly mortgage payment would be $201. That’s $2,412 more per year and $72,360 over the life of the loan.

🌟 Bottom Line 🌟
When asking when to buy, the financial benefits make it clear that doing so now is much more advantageous than waiting until next year. Or, let me help you run the numbers.
