Should You Wait For Lower Interest Rates?
Wondering if you should wait for lower interest rates before getting a mortgage?
Learn how to use real estate investments to offset inflation in this strategic approach. Discover the benefits of investing in real estate to protect your wealth from the effects of inflation.
For more details on home price increases, check out my video titled “Things to Consider Before Waiting For Interest Rates to Drop,” where I delve deeper into this topic. I'll link it in the description.
In that video, I referenced a US News article from March 2024 stating that 67% of potential homebuyers are postponing their purchases, hoping for lower mortgage rates this year.
According to Statista.com, “home sales are projected to reach 5.6 million in 2025.”
67% of 5.6 million is over 3.7 million buyers, possibly in addition to the 5.6 million projected, that could flood the market if rates drop.
According to ycharts.com, US housing inventory was at 1.33 million in July of 2024.
While it’s natural to seek the lowest interest rates and home prices, consider this: Home prices have increased by 55% over the past 5 years, while the value of your dollar has decreased by 23%. This is a clear demonstration of how supply and demand drive inflation.
Consider the impact of an additional 6-9 million homebuyers on prices, especially with current low inventory levels.
The data shows the cost of waiting to invest in real estate. Investing in property, which appreciates over time, is a proven method for building wealth and mitigating the effects of inflation.
And remember, “The best time to buy real estate is always 5 years ago”
