Seeing chatter online that’s making you wonder if home prices are about to fall? Here’s some information that’ll put your mind at ease.

Over 100 housing experts agree prices are projected to rise nationally for at least the next five years. And even the most pessimistic of those forecasters are not calling for a crash, or even a decline.

Now, the pace of that price growth will vary by market. Some areas will climb more than others. But the big picture is: expect slow, continued growth.

And that’s not a crash. That’s a market getting closer to what’s normal.

A lot of buyers are waiting for rates to drop, but the difference between buying a home at today’s typical rate (around 6.2%) and waiting for 5.99% is about $50 a month on a $400,000 loan. That’s not the game-changer many buyers think it is.

And with home prices still projected to rise in most markets, waiting for a rate in the 5’s could cost you more in the long run.
Because once rates dip below 6%, more buyers will be back in the market, competition will increase, inventory will tighten, and negotiating power will start to fade.

So, if you’re ready, don’t be scared of today’s rates. Now might actually be the moment to make your move while others are still waiting for “perfect” conditions to appear.

A lot of buyers are tempted to delay their move in the hope that mortgage rates will come down, but they should probably rethink that strategy.
Experts say mortgage rates are projected to stay in the 6s this year and don’t expect a big drop anytime soon.
