EVERYBODY SAYS IT’S A TERRIBLE TIME TO BUY A HOUSE.
Know what else everybody said?
THE SAME EXACT THING IN 2021. 😂
Fannie Mae actually surveys Americans about this every month.
September 2021: Only 28% said it was a good time to buy.
January 2022: Just 25%.
“HOME PRICES ARE TOO HIGH!” “WAIT!”
Meanwhile, mortgage rates were around 3%.
Fast-forward to today. Those home prices are roughly 20% higher, and mortgage rates have more than doubled.
Those who ignored the crowd and locked in 3% mortgages also watched their homes appreciate.
Turns out, one of the WORST times to buy, according to public opinion, was one of the BEST times to finance a home.
Here’s the lesson.
The crowd doesn’t know where the housing market is headed. Clueless.
Neither do I. Neither do you.
Stop asking everybody whether it’s a good time to buy a house.
Start asking whether it’s a good time for YOU to buy a house.
Because the crowd doesn’t make your mortgage payment. YOU DO. 🏡
