Everyone wants to know when rates are coming down.
I wish I had that answer.
What I do know is that I've had buyers who waited a year hoping for lower rates. Some ended up paying more because home prices went up. Others missed out on the house they still talk about.
Waiting is a decision, too.
Sometimes it's the right one. Sometimes it isn't.
The best conversations I have aren't about guessing what the market will do next. They're about looking at today's numbers and deciding whether buying now makes sense for your budget and your goals.
If it does, great.
If it doesn't, that's okay too.
As Realtors and lenders, we owe our clients real information, not predictions.
Are buyers in Cottonwood Heights getting tired of waiting, or are you still seeing most of them sitting on the sidelines?
