Hi Everyone; I recently dusted off my crystal ball and here’s what I’ve learned.
First, the real estate market is poised for a correction (lower home prices). Historically, the market corrects about every 10 years and we’re 5 years overdue.
I’m seeing price reductions and seller concessions more and more lately.
At the same time, all eyes are on the Fed, anticipating a rate cut in September, between .25 and .50 (to the Federal Funds Rate), which influences mortgage rates.
Good news, right? Overall, yes; however, we will see increased demand from home buyers which leads to higher home prices.
So, what to do? Well, you can buy today at lower prices, higher rates and refi later. You can wait for rates to drop and buy then at higher prices; or you could “wait until next year” like the Chicago Cubs😊
If you want to review your choices and goals, I’ll be delighted to speak with you; just let me know.
And, don’t forget, I am also a licensed Realtor as well and can provide you with current market data and advice whether you’re buying, selling or investing.
Best,
Steve
