A quick market update. With interest rates being unstable, buyers aren’t sure when the right time to buy is. We can only predict that they will continue to rise over the next few months.

Buyers appear to be “paused” for the time being. Uncertainty in the market as well as the economy leads to hesitation. Buyers overall have less purchasing power than they did 3 months ago.

It’s a bit of sticker shock for these buyers. But the good news for them is MOST of the multiple offer situations and the overbidding for homes is done. So as a buyer, before you could get a rate under 4% but overpay $100k for a house.

Now, you will have a rate of at least 5.5% or higher, but the overpaying isn’t nearly as severe.

Once buyers start to understand that, the “pause” will discontinue and the market will return to a much more balanced state.

For the sellers: Yes, you most likely missed the absolute PEAK of the price in the housing market, BUT that doesn’t mean that you aren’t still getting FAR more than you ever would have dreamed back in 2019.

The majority of homes aren’t selling in a day, a weekend, or even a week now. We are seeing homes creeping towards 30 days on market.

Remember, back in 2008-2012, we were seeing 120 days on market as average.

If we get to 30-60 days on market, that is absolutely a GOOD thing!

One last thing to remember... With price reductions being very common again, it can be discouraging to lower your price to stay competitive. BUT, if you are purchasing another home after you sell, they most likely will also be lowering their price. It all comes out in the wash.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

"Marry the house; date the rate."

What does this mean?

It means buy the house you want. But committing to the house doesn't mean you have to commit to the financing available now forever. Smart homeowners always look for a better financing opportunity, and make the move when the time is right. You can always change your financing to more favorable terms later, should better rates and products become available.

Real Estate Tip Monday.. Why It's (Almost) Never A Bad Time to Buy a Home

If you've put your homebuying plans on hold because of rising rates and prices, think again. It could still be a very good time for you to buy.

Here's why:
Today's inflation may be creating a better outlook for buyers, as it tends to reduce competition for homes. And the equity earned by homeownership has always been a good "hedge" against inflation.

You may be happier buying now. Homeownership offers a sense of belonging and security that everyone in your family will appreciate. You'll also avoid future rent rises while reaping attractive tax benefits (your tax advisor can fill you in on these).

Lets chat to get you into the home of your dreams!!
