Spring has sprung, and it’s a great time to buy a home! Here are four reasons to consider buying today instead of waiting.
CoreLogic’s latest U.S. Home Price Insights reports that home prices have appreciated by 4.4% over the last 12 months. The same report predicts that prices will continue to increase at a rate of 4.6% over the next year.
Home values will continue to appreciate for years. Waiting no longer makes sense.
Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey shows that interest rates for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage came in at 4.41% last week. Most experts predict that rates will rise over the next 12 months. The Mortgage Bankers Association, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the National Association of Realtors are in unison, projecting rates will increase by this time next year.
An increase in rates will impact YOUR monthly mortgage payment. A year from now, your housing expense will increase if a mortgage is necessary to buy your next home.
Some renters have not yet purchased a home because they are uncomfortable taking on the obligation of a mortgage. Everyone should realize that unless you are living with your parents rent-free, you are paying a mortgage – either yours or your landlord’s.
As an owner, your mortgage payment is a form of ‘forced savings’ that allows you to have equity in your home that you can tap into later in life. As a renter, you guarantee your landlord is the person with that equity.
Are you ready to put your housing cost to work for you?
The ‘cost’ of a home is determined by two major components: the price of the home and the current mortgage rate. It appears that both are on the rise.
But what if they weren’t? Would you wait?
Examine the actual reason you are buying and decide if it is worth waiting. Whether you want to have a great place for your children to grow up, greater safety for your family, or you just want to have control over renovations, now could be the time to buy.
If the right thing for you and your family is to purchase a home this year, buying sooner rather than later could lead to substantial savings.

Just like our clocks this weekend, in the majority of the country, the housing market will soon “spring forward!” Similar to tension in a spring, the lack of inventory available for sale has been holding back the market.
Many potential sellers believe that waiting until Spring is in their best interest. Traditionally, they would have been right.
Buyer demand has seasonality to it. Usually, this falls off in the winter months, especially in areas of the country impacted by arctic conditions.
Demand for housing has remained strong as mortgage rates have remained near historic lows. Even with an increase in rates forecasted for 2019, buyers are still able to lock in an affordable monthly payment. Buyers are increasingly jumping off the fence and into the market to secure a lower rate.
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) recently reported that in 2018 the top 10 dates sellers listed their homes all fell in April, May, or June.
Those who act quickly and list now, before a flood of increased competition, will benefit from additional exposure to buyers.
If you are planning on selling your home in 2019, let’s get together to evaluate the opportunities in our market.

Según la encuesta ‘Primary Mortgage Market Survey’ de Freddie Mac, las tasas de interés para una hipoteca con tasa fija a 30 años están actualmente a su nivel más bajo para 2019. ¡Tasas como estas no se han visto desde febrero 2018!
Los resultados de la encuesta de la semana pasada informaron una tasa de interés del 4.35 %. Este es un cambio bienvenido, de las tasas que se vieron cerca del 5 % a mediados de noviembre. La segunda semana de febrero 2018 al 4.32 %, fue la última vez que las tasas estuvieron tan bajas. Esto se puede ver abajo en la gráfica.
El economista principal de Freddie Mac, Sam Khater, tuvo esto que decir:
“Las tasas hipotecarias cayeron por tercera semana consecutiva, continuando la tendencia descendente general que comenzó a finales del año pasado.
Por primera vez en años, los salarios están aumentando a la par con los precios de las viviendas, y con más inventario disponible, las ventas de casas de la primavera deberían ayudar al mercado a recuperarse del malestar de los últimos meses”.
En conclusión,
Si planea comprar una casa esta primavera, ¡Reunámonos para prepararlo para tomar ventaja del mercado actual antes de que aumenten las tasas!

According to Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey, interest rates for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage are currently at their lowest for 2019. Rates like these haven’t been seen since February 2018!
Last week’s survey results reported an interest rate of 4.35%. This is a welcome change from the near 5% rates seen in mid-November. At 4.32%, the second week of February 2018 was the last time rates were this low. This can be seen in the chart below.
Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist, Sam Khater, had this to say:
“Mortgage rates fell for the third consecutive week, continuing the general downward trend that began late last year.
Wages are growing on par with home prices for the first time in years, and with more inventory available, spring home sales should help the market begin to recover from the malaise of the last few months.”
If you plan on buying a home this spring, let’s get together to prepare you to take advantage of today’s market before rates increase!
