We’ve all had those moments where we look back and think…
“Yeah… I probably should’ve done that sooner.”
Housing can be a little like that.
If you look at the “receipt” in the photo, here’s what the last few years added up to:
• Median home price in 2019 — about $322,000
• Median home price today — about $417,000
That’s roughly a $95,000 jump in price.
Now add in about six years of rent, and the cost of waiting can creep up to around $149,000 or more.
This isn’t meant to rush anyone. Everyone’s timing is different, and buying a home isn’t the right step for everybody at the same moment.
But I do see a lot of folks waiting for the “perfect” time. And if we’re being honest… the market doesn’t really send invitations.
Sometimes it just helps to sit down, look at the numbers, and see what actually makes sense for your situation.
If you’ve been wondering what things might look like for you, I’m always happy to talk it through.
