Are you waiting on the sidelines for mortgage rates to drop? You might want to rethink your strategy. A recent survey from Neighbors Bank highlighted some major misconceptions keeping potential home buyers from making a move:

The Myth: Many buyers are waiting for rates to plunge back down to 5%, and a staggering 55% believe they need a 20% down payment.

The Reality: Rates are hovering in the mid-6% range, and many first-time buyer programs (like FHA loans) require as little as 3% to 3.5% down—yet 94% of renters don’t realize down payments can be that low! Waiting for the "perfect" market can actually backfire. In fact, 41% of buyers who chose to wait now regret missing out before prices and rates climbed further, all while rising rents make saving even harder.

With more housing inventory hitting the market and slower price growth, today's buyers have solid options if they work with the market as it is. Thinking about buying? Don't let myths delay your goals.

Let's connect to look at your actual financing options and map out a game plan!

Here are a few reasons why you shouldn't put off buying your first home any longer:

Renting is often more expensive than buying: Although renting may seem like the more affordable option in the short-term, it can end up costing you more in the long run. Renting means you're paying someone else's mortgage, and the cost of rent can increase every year.

On the other hand, owning a home means that your mortgage payment is likely to stay the same or even decrease over time, depending on your loan terms.

Homeownership provides financial stability: When you own a home, you have more control over your living situation, and you're not at the mercy of a landlord.

You also have a valuable asset that you can use to build wealth over time. Instead of paying rent, you'll be building equity, which can help you to achieve long-term financial stability.

Tax benefits: Owning a home can offer significant tax benefits. You may be able to deduct mortgage interest, property taxes, and even some of the closing costs associated with your home purchase. These tax benefits can help reduce your overall tax burden and put more money back in your pocket.

Building a home equity: Homeownership is an excellent way to build wealth over time. When you make mortgage payments, you're building equity in your home, which can help you to increase your net worth. Equity can also be used to secure loans or lines of credit if you need additional funds.

Freedom to customize your living space: Owning your home gives you the freedom to make it your own. You can paint the walls, add new fixtures, or even knock down a wall to create an open-concept living area. You can make changes to your home to suit your lifestyle and needs, something you can't do as a renter.

Buying a home is a significant financial decision that shouldn't be taken lightly, but it's one that you shouldn't put off any longer.
Homeownership offers numerous benefits, including financial stability, tax benefits, and the ability to customize your living space. Don't wait too long to take the leap – contact us and start exploring your options today!

Job gains should bring more buyers into the market, especially if mortgage rates stabilize or decline, though that impact takes time to show up. Right now, pending contracts are 30% below their pre-pandemic 2019 level, while payroll employment is 5% above.

That gap points to sizable pent-up demand that should be unleashed in the coming years as more supply reaches the market and affordability improves.”

Payroll employment is up at least 10% from pre-pandemic levels in eight states—well above the national growth rate and Utah is in second place only below the joining state, Idaho.

Signs of Market Cooling

The latest HMI survey also revealed that 37% of builders cut prices in July, up from 35% in June and 32% in May. The average price reduction was 6% in July, the same rate as the previous month.

The use of sales incentives was 63% in July, up slightly from 62% in June, and marking the 16th consecutive month this share has reached 60% or higher.

New builds are worth exploring and we can help you connect with the right builder that will meet your budget and needs.

Think big investors are snapping up all the homes? The data says otherwise.

The largest institutional investors are now selling more homes than they're buying – and the gap is growing every quarter.

That means those homes are going back on the market for regular buyers. And since big investors tend to own lower-priced homes, a lot of them are right in the range first-time buyers want.

Less competition. More options for you.

DM me and I'll show you what's hitting the market in our area.

Torn between buying a home now or holding out for the perfect moment? Trying to time the market rarely works. Rates, prices, inflation… These variables are all beyond your control. So, if you want or need to move, focus on your numbers instead. Because… “Ultimately, whether it’s a good time to buy comes down to your personal financial readiness.” If the math works, you can move. It’s that simple. Let’s chat if you want help thinking it over. No pressure, just perspective.
