2025 Is Your Time To Buy

In the current challenging market environment, home buyers have experienced escalating home prices and looking in the rear-view mirror at 3.0% interest rates. That double whammy has rendered the market beyond reach for many home buyers, particularly first-time buyers.

Now, the real estate market is opening up with sellers coming to the realization that if they want to move up to their next home, they must also look at 3.0% interest rates in their rear-view mirror and accept that interest rates will likely hover between 6.0% and 7.0% for the foreseeable future.

So, the reality is, now is the best time to buy a new home. Interest rates are historically pretty low, realistic buyers will find finance readily available and must prepare themselves to face increasing home prices as the market settles to a relatively normal market. So, what are you waiting for? It’s actually a vibrant real estate market! Don’t put off any longer, this year is your time to buy your first home, or for those existing homeowners with realistic expectations, they should move up to their next home.
