Quick Summary

There is no perfect time to buy, and waiting can have a cost. When rates fall, more buyers may push prices up. Many people who bought when others said wait have built equity since. The best time may be when you are financially ready.

Unpopular opinion: there's no perfect time to buy a home, and waiting for it may cost you more than you think.

Lower rates can mean more buyers in the market, and that may push prices up. Many people who bought in 2023, when everyone said don't buy, have built equity since.

The best time to buy may be when you're financially ready, not when the market feels comfortable. Want to know if you're ready? It's a quick conversation. Send me a message.
