Thinking about buying a home but wondering if now is the right time? Let’s talk facts.
While the market has had its ups and downs lately, we’re currently in a unique period that could be the perfect buying window, aka the "sweet spot". Right now, buyers have stumbled into what we call a real estate sweet spot. What’s that, you ask? It’s that beautiful moment where a few key things line up in your favor:
What makes now the "sweet spot"?
More Inventory = More Choices
We’re seeing more listings hit the market, which means you don’t have to settle for the first house you find or feel pressured to accept the one that has 'strong bones'... but doesn't check any other boxes. Typically in summer and early fall we see a surge of listings, so you’re more likely to find a home that fits your lifestyle and your budget.
Less Buyer Competition
Buyers are known to pause their search during back-to-school season or while waiting for rates to drop. That means fewer bidding wars and more room to negotiate on price or repairs.
Motivated Sellers
Some sellers are eager to move before the holidays, which gives you stronger negotiating power, think closing cost credits, price adjustments, or flexible timelines.
Rates Are Stabilizing
While we aren’t in record-low territory, mortgage rates have started to ease, and experts predict we’ll continue to see favorable shifts. Get in now, and consider refinancing later... that is if we ever see rates get as low as they once were.
Equity Waits For No One
Home values are continuing to trend upward. Waiting could mean paying more for the same house in a few months. Start investing in an asset that is known to appreciate!
