"I'm just waiting for rates to drop." π
I get this almost every week. Here's the honest take: nobody β not the Fed, not the economists, not the headlines β can tell you when "the bottom" hits. By the time it's obvious, it's already gone.
The market-timing trap costs more than people realize:
β You can't predict the bottom. Even the experts get it wrong. β Rent doesn't pause while you wait. Neither does life. β The "right" market is personal β what works for someone else may not work for you.
The smarter move? Time your goals, not the market. Ask yourself:
β
Is your income stable for the next 3+ years? β
Do you have steady reserves beyond the down payment? β
Is this home a fit for the next chapter of your life? β
Have you been pre-approved so you know your real options?
When those four answers line up, the timing usually takes care of itself. Being informed beats trying to time anything.
