🏡 If you waited five years to buy a $600,000 home in Phoenix Arizona, here’s what that likely cost you:
Over the past five years, Phoenix home values have appreciated roughly 45 to 60% (depending on neighborhood and price).
That means a $600,000 home could now be worth approximately $870,000-$960,000.
💰 That’s about $270,000 to $360,000 in missed appreciation.
That does not include:
• Principal paydown
• Rent paid while waiting
• Tax advantages of ownership
• Reduced purchasing power as prices increased
The question isn’t should I wait?
The real question is:
How expensive will today look in five years?
