Mortgage rates have been the monster under the bed for a while. Every time they tick up, people flinch and say, “Maybe I’ll wait.”
But here’s the twist. Waiting for that perfect 5-point-something rate could end up haunting your wallet later—both in terms of monthly payments and missed opportunities.
Affordability is better than it’s been in the last 2.5 years. This is good news for homebuyers! While Fannie Mae’s prediction of rates just below 6 percent by the end of 2026 may tempt some to wait for that time, that approach is risky.
It’s also important for anyone considering waiting to zoom out and understand that it is a prediction of a rate decrease of less than half a percent over more than a year.
There’s no perfect rate, and following the crowd could mean paying more. On top of that, today’s market can provide buyers with unique leverage. If you’re financially ready, now may be the best time to make your move.
Our latest blog post breaks it all down in simple terms so you can feel confident about your next move. Take a look and see what this could mean for you and your real estate goals!
