“Is now a good time to buy a home?” depends a lot more on your life and finances than the latest mortgage rate headline.
Can you comfortably handle the monthly payment?
Are you prepared for the upfront costs?
Do you expect to stay in the home for several years?
Are you finding homes that fit what you actually need?
Those questions can tell you more than trying to predict exactly where rates or home prices go next.
Rates may change, and refinancing may be an option later if it makes financial sense. The purchase price and terms you negotiate today are a different story.
Before deciding whether to buy or wait, we help you run the numbers and understand what makes sense for your situation.
