I am just waiting for mortgage rates to drop. Totally fair. But here is the plot twist.
When rates drop more buyers jump back into the market. More buyers means more competition. So you might get a better rate but you will also be competing against a lot more people for the house you actually want.
The savings from a lower rate can get eaten up by paying more for the home because competition drove the price up. Or by losing the negotiating leverage you have right now when sellers are more flexible.
Sometimes it is not about waiting for the perfect market. It is about understanding the market you are actually buying in and making the smartest move within it.
Reach out anytime if you want to talk through what that looks like for your specific situation.
