Inflation update: April CPI drops to 2.3% year over year (a 4-year low!). If you have questions about how this number can help you with a home purchase (primary, secondary, or an investment property), feel free to call me: 214-256-3753.

If you're carrying large, higher interest debt balances (credit cards or car loans), your "blended" rate may be much higher than you realize. You might even have the opportunity to buy a new home, consolidate your debt with a slightly larger loan, and end up with a lower monthly payment! Ask me and I’ll walk you through your options! 214-256-3753.

Signed contracts on new homes rebounded in March, up 8.8% for the month and 8.3% compared to March of last year. The shortage of previously-owned homes for sale continues to drive demand for new construction even in the face of elevated mortgage rates.

Talk about a winning record! Buying a home in the USA and holding it for 10 years has earned a profit every year except one since 1942. Just look at those returns, too! Housing builds significant, long-term wealth.

Thankfully, the bidding wars are beginning to subside. For homebuyers, this essentially means that they have less Offers to compete against, and a higher chance of being able to get into a home, especially for first-time homebuyers. If the higher interest rates have you concerned, the opportunity costs stemming from increased equity value can temper the interest rate expense differential. And there is always an ability to refinance once rates have gone back down.

Has the U.S. housing market peaked? There are signs a cool-off could be coming. Here's what home buyers should know.

The Q2 Zillow and Pulsenomics Home Price Expectations Survey is a survey of the top 100 to 150 economists in the US and it shows some interesting forecasts on housing: Of the 114 economists surveyed this time, participants expect on average 4.8% appreciation per year over the next 5 years. Cumulatively, they expect over 26% appreciation. This means that if one were to purchase a $400K house today, it would be worth over $500K 5 years from now. That would be a capital gain of over $100K, not counting the equity built in the home over those 5 years and savings from owning a home rather than renting.

Although this might sound counter-intuitive, this is one of the best times to buy a house. Higher rates have created an environment that has, thankfully, stifled the crazy competition on Offers and bidding wars. But don't let the higher rates deter you. There is a solution for that. Contact me and I will be happy to advise on how you can use this time to get into a home of your liking.
