So accurate and so true. although everyone is still in the brain funk that was coronavirus, we cannot wait again for what once was. Truthfully speaking as Vic mentioned, we are still at historic lows. If you are considering a sale or a move, reach out.
"I'll just wait until prices go down because it will be cheaper for me to buy."

It's important to understand that it has historically never been cheaper to borrow money, aka finance a mortgage. Yes, prices are higher than they were 20 years ago, HOWEVER, rates were in double-digits.
Spoiler alert: it's cheaper to buy now than it is to wait, and experts don't anticipate values to drop, they just won't appreciate in double-digits as they have in recent years.
Don't get caught in the rental trap โ monthly rents are keeping on track with demand as purchase supply is not on pace with buyer demand, causing prospective buyers to renew lease terms and get stuck into lengthy lease agreements.

Let's say you were waiting until prices dropped ... and just assume prices continued to rise, and interest rates continued to follow (as both have been):
โข $300k loan amount @ 3.5% =
$1,347/month
โข $320k loan amount @ 3.75% = $1,482/month
โข 340k loan amount @ 4% =
$1,623/month ๐คฏ
