Waiting for interest rates to drop before buying? You may want to rethink that. Home values are up about 4% since last year, meaning a $300,000 home costs roughly $12,000 more today. While rates get the headlines, prices keep moving.
The upside: more inventory, more choices, and sellers willing to negotiate with closing cost credits and rate buy-downs. Real estate is a long-term investment — don’t let short-term market shifts cost you in the long run.
If you or someone you know is thinking about buying a home, I would love to be the REALTOR to help you!
