Resharing a post. Food for thought for this New Year.
Home buyers: "today’s rates are high"
Me: You're right—rates are higher than they were a couple of years ago. It's natural to feel some hesitation."
However there is more to consider.
Historically, today’s rates are average. For example, in the early 2000s, rates hovered around 6-8%. What we're seeing now is closer to long-term norms.
"What matters most isn’t just the rate, it’s the right time in your life. If the home fits your needs, building equity now often outweighs waiting for a perfect rate."
To all future Home Buyers, this is a gentle reminder, you're not locked in forever. If rates drop in the future, you can refinance. But if prices go up while you’re waiting, you might miss the opportunity to own the home you love.
Call me and lets discuss your own personal situation and come up with your personal game plan.
